wow! this thread is getting intense for my head (that always happens whenever i look at Kaballah....)
in my much more simplistic view, just looking at the cards (yes, i am only talking about RWS), it seems that the 10 of Cups is about Spiritual and Emotional fulfillment with little regard for the material realm, other than being comfortable.
whereas the 10 of Pents is about material abundance and prosperity as well as emotional happiness.
both have happy families, so emotional fulfillment, but Cups shows more spiritual consciousness and Pents shows more material accomplishments.
is there an underlying suggestion or assumption that spiritual consciousness and material success do not go together? did the GD have a position on this?
would love to hear some more thoughts about this.... please try to keep it simple if you can! not too many esoteric words would be great for me i'm not trying to limit anyones expression though as others may 'get it' but perhaps there be a very simplistic summary about any Kabbalistic references to go alongside the detailed version....? thanks!
