TEN OF CUPS DESCRIPTION
The Ten of Cups is literally a picture of happiness. The rainbow across the top of the Ten of Cups is an ancient symbol of peace, prosperity and divine favour. The scene on the Ten of Cups takes place on a theatre stage, meaning that it shows a psychological process.
The stage’s backdrop is an image of happiness and success. A beautiful river runs through a lush green and fertile landscape past gently rolling hills on the Ten of Cups. It disappears right before the country the mansion, symbolizing wealth and stability, nestled between the trees.
The children dancing on the right side of the Ten of Cups suggest that this happiness will be passed on to the next generation. The fact that they are dancing is a symbol of pure and innocent joy at the emotional level.
On the Ten of Cups, the man and woman on the right represent happiness on the material level. He raises his left arm in joy and she, her right. They have almost physically merged into one entity – very much like those happily married couples.

UPRIGHT TEN OF CUPS
The Ten of Cups is an excellent card for any business or career situation because it spells long term prosperity. The 10 of Cups is another uplifting card that you can receive.
This card points to happiness in general, perhaps in a more mature, grown-up, global kind of way as opposed to the more personal, less global, wish fulfilment promised by the 9 of Cups. Either way, it's a good card.

General: In general, the 10 of Cups speaks of happy family life and to general well being that goes beyond you yourself to include those that you are most concerned about - parents, siblings, children, etc. Being spiritually fulfilled is also part of the picture here. This is a good card to see; regardless of the question.
Work: The 10 of Cups shows that you have reached a degree of being indispensable in your current work. That's a good thing but don't get terribly carried away - nearly everyone can be replaced. You seem to be on the right track, just don't sit back and rest on your laurels. Keep plugging ahead..
Love: If you are worrying about a romantic relationship and you receive this card, it's a clear indicator that you really don't have anything to worry about. You and your beloved are on the same page.
If you're in a relationship but have not made a formal commitment and hope that it comes to pass; take heart, it's coming. Don't sabotage things by causing problems where there aren't any..
Finances: Money seems unlikely to be a problem when this card appears. This is likely to point to a prosperous period for you. Just make sure your money is working for you as hard as you work for it. Share the wealth that you have amassed to the degree you feel comfortable doing so, in whatever way makes you feel comfortable.
Health: Health is likely to be significantly better if you've been faced with problems and to remain good if it has been relatively good. You can further this by considering what steps are under your own power to improve (e.g. good nutrition, exercise) and which things aren't (a genetic illness that runs in your family). Relax completely if you're dealing with the latter. It's not under your control any way and stressing about it won't change a thing.

REVERSED TEN OF CUPS
|
When the Ten of Cups is reversed, the energy created by Mars in Pisces is still building up. But now it is either blocked or it’s being misdirected. When your emotional energy is misdirected, it can manifest itself in other unhealthy ways.
When this happens, this is usually because your actions do not reflect your values. For example, driven by your sense of responsibility, you work long hours to provide for your family. But in the process, you may be neglecting your loved ones. The reversed 10 of Cups is another card full of promise and joy. This card points to happiness in general, but also carries the warning not to overlook the happiness already in your life in a quest for some elusive "perfect future." Live for today. General: Even with the implication that you may be overlooking some important cause for happiness that is right under your nose, this is still a good card to see; regardless of the question. Work: The reversed 10 of Cups says that although you may not have every element that you would like or think you deserve, in your work, that in general you are appreciated and that things are basically pretty good. If you're looking for work, stay upbeat and present yourself as a cheerful, interesting person to be around. That will help you to stand out. Love: If you are already in a romantic relationship when you receive the 10 of Cups reversed, you may be spending far too much time questioning it and dreaming about "the one that got away." Pay attention to the here-and-now. The thing about fantasy partners is that they are perfect. Don't ruin a perfectly decent relationship unless you don't have any feelings whatsoever for your current partner. If looking for love, this card reminds you that everyone is an individual; don't hold up new potential partners to impossibly high standards. |

Finances: As with the upright 10 of Cups, the reversed 10 shows that money seems unlikely to be a problem. The reversal reminds you though that gratitude for what you do have is a large part of increasing your financial resources.
Health: When you pull the reversed 10 of Cups it's a reminder that in this day and age we must all guard against holding ourselves up to impossible standards. No one stays young forever, everyone's physical strength wanes slightly given enough years, and so on. However, this is no excuse to ignore the part that any of us plays in our own health.
