How to read the 10' s of 4 suits?

[rosemaryh]

I am confuse about the 10's . It's a sign related to the ultimate , the end of a circle, etc. But it also a singnification of a new beginning . I know basically it must read the surrounding cards. Can someone help me or give some examples to learn? How can we know this is talking about an end or a new start?

And the 10's can infer the satisfaction and completion, sometimes over, too much.How to read it ? Can I read the reversed 10's as over, too much ?

Thanks a lot ~

just some thoughts on 10's

Tens are the pinnacle of the suit - you have reached the end of the road, as they say. But that can be a good thing:
10 Cups: traditionally family, but emotionally content and satisfied
10 Pentacles: legacy, heirs, things that are entrenched, invested
There is stability and satisfaction in the above cards. No one is looking to change anything.

10 SW: hitting rock bottom, the end; when you come round to the ace of sw, you get a new and fresh idea.
10 W: burdened, carrying the load and struggling, overworked. When you come round to the Ace of Wands you get a jolt of new inspiration, some zip to get things done or to start something new.

Hope this can be applied to your situ somehow.

Can I read the reversed 10's as over, too much ?

Reversed cards are often cards where the energy is blocked. So as the energy of 10's is "complete" then the reversed would be "not complete" with the feeling that it ought be complete. Putting it another way, a feeling that something is dragging on that should be over by now.

Not an "either-or", exactly. The original 1-9 cycle has ended. Try thinking of the 9's as a baby in the 9th month who can do nothing more but be born, and the 10's as the newborn.

Tens are related numerically to The Wheel of Fortune and so are about the end of one cycle and the start of the next.
With a ten, the new beginning will be just that, a new beginning but it will also take into account what has gone before.
A ten is like taking something to the next level. You've finished one thing and are about to start the next but you will have what's gone before to build on so it won't be like starting from scratch.

Think of a wheel - the outside of the wheel is constantly turning - change
yet the inside of the wheel, the hub is relatively stable - the hub is what's gone before, the thing to build on.
So tens are about solidity and stability but also about change and transition.

So:
Swords - A transition, the worst is over or if you're not looking at a man pierced with 10 swords then this may be the culmination of something to do with ideas or communication.
Onto the next thing but you don't forget the strife you've been through to get to this point.

Wands - in the Ten of Wands we see a person burdened by all the things they have taken on. Change needs to happen but once again this doesn't mean completely forgetting about the responsibilities we have, they just need to be re-arranged so that we can move on.

Cups - This is the 'happy ever after' card yet we all know that there is no real 'happy ever after', in order for a relationship to be a good one it needs to change and grow whilst depending on it's stable inner core.

Pentacles- Here we see the culmination of the Earth suit and we see the results of all of our efforts in the material world but there is more than that. In the 10 of Pentacles we have made a success of things and now we move onto the next thing but what we have done becomes a legacy to leave for those who come after us.

Does that help?

The Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul

St. Peter's Pence is collected on or on a Sunday as near to June 29th, the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, a solemnity, from the latin, according to some, of solus annum meaning whole year.

The same feast date as that traditionally held for the bestowing of the pallium to the metropolitan. The pallium is of a territorial character as it can only be worn in one's own metropolis.

Quote:

"The custom of paying "Peter's pence" is of Saxon origin; and they continued to be paid by the inhabitants of England, till the abolition of the Papal power. The event by which their payment was enacted is as follows:—

"Ethelbert, king of the east angles, having reigned single some time, thought fit to take a wife; for this purpose he came to the court of Offa, king of Mercia, to desire his daughter in marriage. Queenrid, consort of Offa, a cruel, ambitious, and blood-thirsty woman, who envied the retinue and splendour of the unsuspicious king, resolved in some manner to have him murdered, before he left their court, hoping by that to gain his immense riches; for this purpose she, with her malicious and fascinating arts, overcame the king—her husband, which she most cunningly effected, and, under deep disguises, laid open to him her portentous design; a villain was therefore hired, named Gimberd, who was to murder the innocent prince.

"The manner in which the heinous crime was effected was as cowardly as it was fatal: under the chair of state in which Ethelbert sat, a deep pit was dug; at the bottom of it was placed the murderer; the unfortunate king was then let through a trap-door into the pit; his fear overcame him so much, that he did not attempt resistance. Three months after this, Queenrid died, when circumstances convinced Offa of the innocence of Ethelbert; he therefore, to appease his guilt, built St. Alban's monastery, gave one-tenth part of his goods to the poor, and went in penance to Rome—where [pg 318] he gave to the Pope a penny for every house in his dominions, which were afterwards called Rome shot, or Peter's pence, and given by the inhabitants of England, &c. till 1533, when Henry VIII. shook off the authority of the Pope in this country."

Although the custom ended in England in 1533 under Henry VIII, it had by then become a custom throughout Catholic Christendom.

plenitudo pontificalis officii

The same feast date as that traditionally held for the bestowing of the pallium to the metropolitan. The pallium is of a territorial character as it can only be worn in one's own metropolis.

Kwaw

"The evolution of this character was complete about the end of the eleventh century; thenceforth the pallium is always designated in the papal bulls as the symbol of plenitudo pontificalis officii. In the sixth century the pallium was the symbol of the papal office and the papal power, and for this reason Pope Felix transmitted his pallium to his archdeacon, when, contrary to custom, he nominated him his successor. On the other hand, when used by metropolitans, the pallium originally signified simply union with the Apostolic See, and was the symbol of the ornaments of virtue which should adorn the life of the wearer."
