Ten of Cups

What the card shows

A couple stand arm in arm, raising their free hands toward a rainbow filled with ten cups. Two children dance happily beside them and a cozy house stands in the distance, the picture of a family that found its happy place.

In the suit of Cups (element: Water), the focus is feelings, relationships, intuition and the heart. Tens mark completion: a cycle fulfilled, sometimes with the weight that comes with it.
