Ten of Cups
Ten of Cups
On the Ten of Cups we see a loving couple with their carefree children. The family home is in the background surrounded by trees and water. A rainbow of cups is overhead blessing the scene.
The Ten of cups is indicative to a good family life. Happiness, joy and contentment will dominate your life. The time will be made for the enjoyment of pleasures which may be shared with another person whom you love. There will be correspondence connected with your work that will involve mail, phone calls, or special application. You will get a long distance call from a relative, or you will make one.A cynic might scoff at this romantic picture, but I see it as a symbol of what our emotional life could be at its best. The feelings represented here are an ideal that is within the reach of reach of us. First, there is joy. Joy goes beyond happiness, contentment, enjoyment. It is the feeling that comes when we know at the deepest level that we are one with All that is, and It is good. Unfortunately, this is not exactly a common feeling! Too often we are blinded by the trials of life and overwhelmed by their challenges. Joy exists, though, and is our birth right.
Peace is another aspect of the Ten of Cups - the serenity that comes when all elements are in harmony. There is inner peace and outer peace which are reflections of each other. When you are in harmony with yourself, you experience harmony in your environment. When you see the Ten of Cups, know that an end to hostility is possible. If there is fighting around you, it may cease. If you are at war with yourself, you may find peace.
In readings, this card often signals a time of abundant blessings. It tells you that you can reach for the fulfillment you deserve, and it will come to you. Look for ways to realize joy and create peace. You may find the key to happiness in your family. Your family is the group of people that you are attached to emotionally - for better or worse! If there is trouble in your family right now, work to restore harmony. The time is right for greater closeness.
Happy family life. True friendships. Lasting happiness inspired from above. Perfection of love and friendship.

The Ten of Cups represents a satisfaction and joy much like that experienced in the Nine of Cups. The difference, however, should be quite clear. The Nine of Cups represented personal attainment whereas the Ten of Cups represents the satisfying fulfillment of love in relationship with another. This card is a very positive card in terms of relationship and may indicate either the beginning of a new, very happy relationship, or the ultimate satisfaction of a long-term relationship. Commitment and love are the requirements of such satisfaction, yet this card promises that with the required effort a lasting love can be built.
A family quarrel, a loss of friendship. Chance of betrayal. Young people may turn against their parents.
Have a party. Share good food and drink, laugh, dance and sing. At one point have everyone gather in a circle and link hands. Take a moment of silence to be thankful for shared happiness and success. See the joy that is felt by all as a pulsating violet light enveloping the group. Now ask that all in the circle visualize this beautiful violet ball of light rising up and up until it reaches the sky. Then with a shout for joy see the light being broadcast out to the world for all to share. Then embrace one and all.
