A happy couple raises their hands to a rainbow adorned with ten cups; two children play nearby. However, some decks do not depict the children on this card. And on the «Tarot of Aquarius» card, a woman is depicted comforting a man.

The card symbolizes family happiness, peace, friendship and love. This is not the happiness that is earned by hard work, not a reward for suffering: it is fate. Either it is, or it is not. If this card fell out, it means it is; you just need to raise your eyes and see a bright rainbow.

When answering a question about the success of some business, it usually means collective success, in contrast to the Nine, which means individual success.

When inverted, its meaning is similar, only success has either already been, or is postponed for some time.

Tens in Tarot

The number «ten» is associated with the Wheel of Fortune, the planet Pluto, which rules Scorpio and the eighth house. Pluto is the planet of death, birth and transformation; in a cycle, a period of growth and decline is replaced by a new period of growth. Like the Wheel of Fortune in the Major Arcana, Pluto speaks of the great changes that fate has in store.
