Ten of Cups

I wasn't really surprised to see this card coming after my reaction to yesterdays Five of Cups! Everything I wrote yesterday seems to be even moreso in this card today. The following is quoted directly from keen, as I was interested in the positioning they explain and how it relates to my current thoughts. Especially the relevance of this card in the Past position:


The Ten of Cups in the past position is actually the card's strongest presence in a Tarot reading. This card representing happiness functions best with that representation as a memory. Recalling happy times is actually clearer than experiencing happiness in the moment or finding fulfillment in wishing to be happy in the future. This card in this position represents a powerful foundation of faith in the world and a belief that things will work out. You are strong because of positive values instilled early in life.
In the present position, this card represents a recent breakthrough. You may be in love at the moment of the reading or falling in love with someone. This card carries emotional impact, so there is some wonderful sentiment permeating your life and your world at present. The Tarot reading confirms that you should be enjoying yourself thoroughly.
The future position indicates that your emotional contentment is coming. The Ten of Cups is a card that is the natural climax of the entire Tarot suit of Cups and so it functions well in the future position as a reminder that your goals in life are worth pursuing no matter what the current struggle may be delivering.

I found another wonderful article over on AT by Simone, I love what she had to write about this card, as I love her design. Her card which you can see at the link above, shows a large cup and a mandala of nine smaller cups, which all work together to keep the large cup filled. It shows how one thing cannot fulfill all our desires and needs in life, we need the input and balanc of several things to get it right.

My love for this card has just gone up tenfold!
