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.

DESCRIPTION: A young married couple stands side by side, joyfully raising their arms to the sky. Above them, like a rainbow of light, ten glittering cups arch across the sky. Next to the couple, their two children dance happily, and in the distance we see their family home. It is idyllically nestled atop a hill among the trees. Element: Water.
EXPLANATION: The number Ten symbolizes perfection. This card represents a happy family life and lasting happiness, although here satisfaction (joy) comes not only from material success and emotional peace, but also from spiritual achievement, for the cups are located in the sky. This card symbolizes the highest phase of your personal relationships and shows that you feel harmony in all areas of your life. Your personal hopes and dreams have come true.

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.
