Combination of card Four of Pentacles and card Ten of Wands
When considered together, the Four of Pentacles and the Ten of Wands in their upright positions interact interestingly. The Four of Pentacles represents stability, self-confidence, and material well-being, while the Ten of Wands signifies the burden of responsibility. This suggests a situation where someone, having material wealth, feels a great sense of responsibility and possibly, overload. Perhaps, it's a successful business leader drowning in duties.

If the Four of Pentacles in the upright position pairs with the Ten of Wands in the reversed position, it can indicate a relief from burdens of responsibility. The person may have found a way to handle their duties without sacrificing their material well-being. This combination might mean they have shed unnecessary weight and now feel lighter.

When the Four of Pentacles reversed combines with the Ten of Wands upright, it creates a situation where everything seems to pull you down. It's as if spending resources or financial difficulties come with the added burden of responsibility. For example, a family facing economic hardship also has to care for a sick relative.

Finally, if both cards are reversed, it may indicate relief from the burden of responsibility, but it also brings problems with financial well-being. Perhaps the person got rid of obligations but lost a stable source of income. These could be examples of people who retired or changed to a freer but less paid job.
