The 10 of Pentacles here is shown with the Crook and Flail crossed in the background - the symbol of Royalty in Ancient Egypt. The Scarab in the middle is the symbol of resurrection and rebirth or natural cycles.
Of course the suit of pentacles or coins is associated with money and prosperity so this card to me represents fortunes that are lost and regained over and over. It can indicate gambling or a cycle of loss and growth repeating itself again.
The Crook and Flail ads the element of power and legacy to this card which can mean fortunes gained from an inheritance - gaining from a source that is not your own which again could be thru gambling or a game of chance such as a lottery.
Like many tarot cards, the meaning of becomes clearer in a multi-card reading than alone, but as a single card, it generally indicates a financial gain of some kind.

Death - Today's Tarot Card
Death is probably the tarot card that scares people the most. But death is rarely a physical death. It usually indicates the death of something that needs to die - a false idea, a bad relationship, something along those lines.
In my Egyptian Tarot deck, the Death card depicts Anubis during the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. The heart of the deceased would be weighed against the Feather of Truth or Ma'at to see if they were eligible to pass into the Duat, or Egyptian afterlife. Anubis would lead the deceased's Ka or Soul into the ceremony which was presided over by Osiris.
This card is a reminder to examine your life or current situation to see if you are perhaps holding on to something that you shouldn't be. Often it is better to let things or people go from your life instead of hanging onto what no longer serves you.

Two of Swords Reversed - Today's Tarot Card
Today's card is the Two of Swords Reversed.
The 2 of Swords is the Crown of Ptah and represents two people that think and act as one - a strong bond of friendship and fellowship. It may indicate your significant other or just a very good friend, business partner, or confident. It can also indicate a sibling, especially a twin. Duality. Opposites that unite to form something important.
Reversed indicates possible problems and conflicts with that close friend. Where you normally think and act as one, today you are at odds - two sides of the coin or the issue before you. It can also indicate a battle within your own heart or mind with 2 options you are considering tearing you in different directions.
