Regenerative Thinking: Looking at abundance from a new perspective
The Ten of Pentacles Tarot Card
Hi Love,
The word abundance comes from the Latin abundantia, meaning “plenty” or “fullness,” and from abundare—“to overflow.” Its roots combine ab (“out, away”) and unda (“wave”), offering a beautiful original image: something that flows freely, like water that cannot be contained.
Spiritually, that image feels especially relevant now. In 2026, abundance is being understood less as accumulation and more as alignment, having what truly supports growth rather than excess. It’s the sense of feeling enough, where life moves with less struggle and less fear of scarcity.
This shift mirrors the wisdom of the Ten of Pentacles, a card not of sudden gain, but of shared, sustained prosperity. Its abundance isn’t hoarded; it lives within systems, family, community, lineage, home. What endures is what circulates. This reflects a broader movement away from scarcity thinking and toward regenerative thinking, where creativity, care, and resources are meant to flow and renew rather than be stockpiled.
Inner abundance is now recognized as equally vital. Emotional resilience, presence, meaning, and belonging are forms of wealth that create true stability. Like the Ten of Pentacles, this abundance is quiet and rooted, less about display, more about what lasts.
With this understanding comes responsibility. Abundance carries an invitation to stewardship: to use time, energy, and resources wisely, to avoid waste, and to hold what we have with care rather than entitlement.
Abundance this year isn’t just about what arrives, but about what remains, supports, and sustains. At its heart, abundance in 2026 is about flow, responsibility, and shared well-being, an overflowing wave that nourishes not only ourselves, but others as well.
