Ten of Cups

Additional deck interpretation:

The Ten of Cups points you towards a path of establishing long-term, fulfilling relationships as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.

This is the level on your continuous cycle of change when you solidify a relationship that has weathered all the storms. You discover love, satisfaction and joy in a long-lasting marriage or a soul mate relationship that has developed into something beautiful.


A rainbow usually appears after a rainstorm and is associated with the mythical pot of gold found at its end. The Ten of Cups represents relationships that may have weathered some very difficult times, but the couples involved found closure and worked everything out as a team. They now have a balanced relationship with love and respect for each other and are experiencing the reward - their pot of gold.

This is the card of high achievements and relates closely to your personal and professional relationships: the support you receive from your partner, family, friends, groups and business partners, and the time of experiencing shared happiness, compatibility and a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime. It could also relate to financial gain.

Numerical Number 10: This number is associated with the time of completion and a new beginning that has grown into something beautiful. Or, you might be on the verge of starting over with a new beginning that is ready to grow into something beautiful when you make the right adjustments to transform your life.

The number 10 consists of: 1 (a new beginning is ready to sprout) + 0 (the beginning point of your journey when you are ready to experience something new and leave all limitations behind because you trust in a higher power) = 1 (a new beginning).

The Element of Water: The Ten of Cups is associated with the elemental water qualities of the planet Pluto (transformation) and the zodiac sign of Pisces. The combination of Pluto in Pisces makes you want to transform and grow.


Probable Outcome: You are experiencing happiness with your current relationships (personal or professional).

You might be thinking about getting engaged, married, or starting a family.

Or you might be on the verge of making more money because you hooked up with the right professional relationship, or you just started a new job that gives you a better outlook for financial success.

Possible Outcome: You might feel unhappy with all of your personal or professional relationships.

You might be experiencing difficulties with your marriage or family.

It's possible that you are unhappy with your marriage, or there is interference that threatens your happiness.

You might be experiencing financial problems, or are working in the wrong job, cannot find a job, are not happy in your existing job, feel threatened by your work environment, or are on the verge of quitting your job.

Then again, you may be unable to channel the energies of the Ten of Cups into your life. If this is the case, you might be dissatisfied with your relationship and considering a separation, or you have realized you made the wrong choice, or realized that engagement, marriage, and starting a family is not for you right now.

Timing: The Ten of Cups predicts an important event when intuition and emotions are turned into action. This event may occur in the next weeks or months to come.
