"Legacy isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A man and woman beneath an archway which gives entrance to a house and domain. They are accompanied by a child, who looks curiously at two dogs accosting an ancient personage seated in the foreground. Pentacles signify wealth and ten is a card about the end of a journey. Together this card shows a happy and financial successful scene
You've built something multigenerational. A wealth to pass on to those after you-- romantically you have made a home for yourself and are with someone who brings wealth to your life. Perhaps a graduation or promotion are near.
You're thinking of breaking out of a comfortable situation-- or perhaps you are thinking too small (think generationally; how will your actions impact the next generation).

Ten of Pentacles for Cancer in Self and Identity
The Nurturer
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Ten of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sits directly opposite Cancer, so this card describes the half of the situation Cancer habitually hands to someone else. What it wants is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. Handing that to another person is exactly the habit. Upright, it is complete, which is not automatically the same as good.
When reading about yourself through a Cancer lens, the Ten of Pentacles says that you feel like you are only acceptable when you are useful, your body is something that wants too much (or needs too much), and your own feelings are something to handle in private. This has either made you excellent at ignoring your own pain until it becomes a crisis, or taught you that being gentle with yourself is not selfish. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Cancer blind spot in it is being seen as a burden, or as someone whose needs are too much.
In practice that can look like a routine that finally sticks, or the body asking for the basics. Whatever form it takes, it is completing, possibly past the point it was useful.
