Description
On the Ten of Cups we see a loving couple with their carefree children. A rainbow of cups is overhead blessing the scene. This is a symbol of what our emotional life could be at its best.
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 birthright.
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 (both within and without) is possible.
In readings, this card often signals a time of abundant blessings. 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 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.
