Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

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

Upright
LegacyWealthFamilyLong-Term Security

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.

Reversed

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).

SuitPentacles · Earth
Pentacles are the suit of Earth: matter and time. A Pentacles card is always, underneath, about the body, the money, the calendar, the actual physical situation.
NumberTen
The numbers tell a story inside each suit, from a seed at the Ace to the full expression at Ten. Ten is the full expression: complete, and sometimes carried past the point it was useful.

Ten of Pentacles for Scorpio in Health and Energy

The Transformer

Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Ten of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sextiles Scorpio, which is help that has to be taken up rather than help that arrives. What it asks for is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. Scorpio is perfectly capable of that, which is exactly why not doing it needs a better excuse. Upright, it is complete, which is not automatically the same as good.

When reading about health through a Scorpio lens, the Ten of Pentacles says that you feel like your body is something you ignore until the problem is undeniable, a machine you are behind on maintaining (or refuse to examine closely), and a frontier you do not trust yourself to explore. This has either led to you discovering something serious late, or to you becoming obsessively knowledgeable about the one thing you do decide to fix. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.

In practice that can look like sleep, food, walking. Whatever form it takes, it is completing, possibly past the point it was useful.
