Ten of Cups Upright

The Ten of Cups signals happiness, joy, and contentment. You are, or will soon be, experiencing an abundance of love in your life and among your friends and family. This is the “happy family” card of the tarot.


The Ten of Cups indicates good news in romantic relationships — whether new or long-term. You are now in alignment in your relationships with others, and your connections are meaningful ones.


When the Ten of Cups appears in your reading, trust your heart to lead you to what is in your best interest. 

Ten of Cups Reversed

The Ten of Cups reversed suggests that you are seeking greater harmony and connection with the world around you. You may be feeling disengaged from those you want to be close to and might want to reevaluate whether this is just a natural lull, or if perhaps the relationship isn’t meant to be.


When the Ten of Cups reversed appears, it may signal a misalignment of values. Focus on what makes you happy and follow your heart, not what others want you to do.


Lastly, the reversed Ten of Cups can sometimes warn that you are neglecting your family and friends in pursuit of personal or material goals and that if you don’t tune back in, your relationships may suffer as a result of your neglect.
