MercyMe said:It makes so much sense that you are seeing these cards right now, though. 10's represent transition in tarot number symbolism. You've reached the end of one phase of your life, both emotionally and materially/physically, and yet your new life has yet to begin. You're in between the aimless fresh start of the Fool (0) and the focused beginning of the Magician (1). You haven't got an Ace yet, so you're still wrapping things up...letting things come to their own conclusion.
When I see the 10 of cups and the 10 of pents I see, "This is as good as it gets." If it's in a present rather than future position it tends to mean this is it, there really isn't any further you can go in this.
Not to say all of this doesn't hurt. As a veteran of two divorces, I can attest to and sympathize with the pain and loss. I just find it very interesting in a tarot student kind of way how these two cards are coming up a lot for you right now.

I've never really thought of the 10s in that way, but it really does make a great deal of sense to view them in such a manner. Numerologically speaking, it's just after the end of a cycle (9) and before the beginning of a new one (1). It's like that in between, recuperative time.
Thank you.
