Ten (10) Of Cups

I just thought I'd point out that the Roman Numeral "X" on the top of this card is distinct from the other "Tens" (Minors) in that it does not have a connecting line on the top or bottom of the "X." I noticed similar oddities in the Fives, Eights and Nines and wonder if it was purposely done and/or has some significance.

10 of cups

The way I see the 10 of cups card is:

1. It is related to the "Wheel of Fortune", number X [10]
2. That means CHANGE
3. 10's are COMPLETION...but that means a CHANGE is then coming.

So I see the 10 of cups as a CHANGE is coming regarding the emotions or
love itself. It is going to move the person, you are reading for, to a much
HIGHER level in their relationships or in their family situation. They should
experience joy and be happy because things will become much more harmonious.

This card, because of relating to the Wheel of Fortune, also denotes that
there is a definate potential for good luck, good fortune, or good "change,"
regarding the home, maybe a good move or trip, or even buying a new home
that brings happiness and joy.

There is, coming to this person, a lot of joy within their family. Look at the
way both the man and the woman are stretching out their arms and pointing
to the array of cups above. These cups are "filled" with joy, happiness,
fortune, love, harmony...all the things that a person could ever hope for in
their lives. Maybe they just win the lottery! [sorry...that is so mundane]

Also note that they children are dancing around in circles -
...happy and just having fun. No cares...I don't see any raven or birds
on the roof in my Rider-Waite 10 of cups.

And reversed:
10 cups are "reversed" ...the family or loved one is draining the person
emotionally!

Too much of a good thing [overindulgence] could causing sickness.
Also could be a separation and/or loss causing depression. As well as
problems with family or children. Sad because of broken promises. Just plain
nothing going right within their family or relationship.
