Symbolism & Imagery:
When wanting to gain a deep understanding of our Tarot cards, it is really helpful to spend time with the card and what images and symbols are depicted on it. On most traditional decks, the Ten of Cups depicts a happy family celebrating under the sunshine.
A couple is standing with their arms around each other, looking up at a rainbow in the sky. The rainbow is adorned with ten cups. Near the couple, there are a few children playing in harmony. The family appears content and happy, having everything they need around them.
The couple is facing rolling hills, on which is a house. This house is their home, and they are celebrating their success in life. The card is full of loving energy and gratefulness. The characters on the card are grateful for where they are.
The rolling hills contain a river, represent abundance and emotion. Love is flowing through the countryside and there is an idyllic quality of the imagery. The rainbow above them suggests that hard times are over, and the family is stable and secure in their place in the world.
