A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the 6 Of Pentacles card and 10 Of Swords card together in particular.
The 6 Of Pentacles card and 10 Of Swords have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.
What does 6 Of Pentacles and 10 Of Swords mean together?
The 6 of Pentacles and the 10 of Swords together for me is about finding the strength and courage to reach out for help. It is a reminder that if I am stuck in a painful situation, I should not be ashamed of asking for help. That there is strength in admitting that I need assistance, that I am not capable of handling this challenge on my own. This hardship won’t last forever, so it is ok to ask for a hand in order to reach the other side of this complete and painful ending. It is my time to draw on the generosity of others and use it to get back up.
The meaning may differ depending on what you are asking. Here are some common questions and their possible meanings
What does 6 Of Pentacles and 10 Of Swords mean together for your love life?
The 6 Of Pentacles and The 10 Of Swords in your love life can be a sign that your relationship is at a crossroads. On the one hand, you may be experiencing the generosity and help of your partner, making it hard to let go and move on. On the other hand, this may be the sign that it is time to let go and accept the painful ending.
The 6 Of Pentacles could be a sign that your partner is being generous and supportive, helping to keep your relationship afloat despite the difficulties you are facing. This could mean that there is still hope for your relationship and that with the help of your partner, you will be able to make it through.
At the same time, the 10 Of Swords could be a sign that your relationship has reached its end and it is time to accept the inevitable. It could be that the issues that you are facing cannot be overcome and that it is time for both of you to move on. This could be a difficult but necessary step to take in order to begin healing.
The 6 Of Pentacles and The 10 Of Swords is a sign to pay attention to the help that you are receiving, but also to be honest about whether this is enough to keep your relationship going. If the answer is no, then it is time to accept the inevitable and move on. This can be difficult to do, but it can also be the best thing for both of you in the end.
What does 6 Of Pentacles and 10 Of Swords mean together for your finances?
The 6 of Pentacles tarot card and the 10 of Swords tarot card together suggest an imminent shift in your finances and job. The 6 of Pentacles speaks of generosity and help, whether you’re the one giving or receiving. If you are financially secure and have extra resources at this time, you may be called on to help others, either in your community, or close to home. Alternatively, you may be the one who is in need and receive assistance from an unexpected source. Either way, it’s important to remember that even if the help you receive is small, it can still be purposeful and meaningful.
The 10 of Swords speaks of a complete and painful ending, signaling a period of rock bottom before a new cycle of growth can begin. This card suggests that you are about to experience complete closure with an existing financial situation, job, or career and that it will not be easy. This card also tells you to accept where you are and that a brighter future may soon be there for you if you can find the strength to keep going.
These two tarot cards together suggest that you may have to let go of something you’ve been holding onto, whether it’s a job, financial situation, or even attitude. Even though the present situation may be difficult, a new and more empowering opportunity may soon arrive to give fresh life to your finances and career. Be open to accepting help when it is offered, remain diligent in your pursuits, and trust that doors of opportunity may open soon.
What does 6 Of Pentacles and 10 Of Swords mean together for your health?
The 6 Of Pentacles tarot card and The 10 Of Swords tarot card combine to suggest a difficult but necessary transformation in regards to your mental and physical health. When this card combination comes up, it is likely that a difficult period of loss and disappointment has come to an end and it is time to move on to a new, healthier stage of your life.
At the same time, The 6 Of Pentacles also calls for a generous gesture towards yourself and others. This could mean asking for and receiving help from trusted loved ones, or it could mean creating a support system where you can turn to if you find yourself in need. This can be incredibly difficult in the aftermath of loss, but the effort to do so is a powerful choice that can make all the difference in your journey towards self-care.
The 10 Of Swords card is a reminder of the difficult circumstances that may have led to this transformation. Too often, it is only after we reach our lowest point that we can truly begin to heal. This card is a sign to be gentle with yourself in the face of overwhelming sadness and a reminder to seek out support, as you have faced one of the most difficult of battles and have come out on top.
The 6 Of Pentacles and The 10 Of Swords serve as a reminder that no matter how difficult the path, there is still hope for healing. This is a chance to treat yourself with compassion and kindness and to take the necessary steps to create a healthier and happier life.
The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as 6 Of Pentacles and 10 Of Swords mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.
What does 6 Of Pentacles mean?
Health:
The 6 of Pentacles Tarot card is a reminder that health is both an individual and communal responsibility. It encourages us to consider the connections between our own health, the health of our friends and family, and the health of our society as a whole. The card can also suggest that we look outside of ourselves for help. We should not be ashamed to ask for help when we need it, and we should be willing to offer help in turn.
Finances:
The 6 of Pentacles Tarot card speaks to financial balance and sustainability. It is an invitation to explore broader concepts of wealth and abundance. We may be asked to consider how our finances can be used to help others. It is a reminder that money is a tool which can be used to create positive impacts, both within our own lives and on a larger scale.
Relationships:
The 6 of Pentacles Tarot card can also be seen as a warning against inequity in our relationships. It calls on us to cultivate fairness and balance in our interactions. We should make sure that we are not taking advantage of someone, or expecting too much from them. It is a reminder that healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and open communication. The card also encourages us to practice the art of giving and receiving with grace.

Health
The 10 of Swords Tarot card can be a sign of whatever physical health issues you may have hitting a breaking point. It could indicate a need for medical attention that you have been putting off for too long. It is a sign that it is time to take action and get help with any health concerns or challenges you may be facing, no matter how bleak the situation may seem. It is a reminder that you can turn things around and seek out much-needed help and support.
Finances
The 10 of Swords Tarot card can be a sign of financial problems that have become too much to bear. It could be a sign that debts have become too overwhelming and you have reached a point of feeling helpless and trapped. It’s important to remember, however, that this card is about endings, so it could also be a sign that you are ready to move on and start something new. It’s an indication that you should not be afraid to face the situation head on and take steps towards improving your financial situation.
Relationships
The 10 of Swords Tarot card can be a sign that a relationship has come to an end, or that it needs to. It could be a sign that something has simply reached its natural conclusion, or it could be an indication that you need to walk away from a situation in order to heal. It is also a sign that you should not be afraid to cut ties and move forward with a fresh start. It could also be a sign that it is time to accept that it is time to move on and find a healthier, more balanced relationship for yourself.
