Harmony, eternal love, relationships in alignment, belonging, shared values, peace
Overview
Sometimes those words are all that matter, no not those words; “I’ve got you.” Knowing in confidence that someone will always be there against all odds is liberating. This person believes in you, will never lose faith in you, your dreams or your journey. Loyalty, emotional fulfillment, balance spills over your cup. Existence is a little more whimsical, the final fixture has been put in place; this is your ideal.
Some people will experience this moment many times in life, and some people will feel it once life-long. It’s “Happily Ever After” It is a moment of true, unconditional love. As cycles of orbit our lives, people will come together and grow apart. ‘Happily, every after’ doesn’t always end in tragedy or death, sometimes it just ends.
Symbolism
A joyful family scene: a couple stands side by side with their arms raised in gratitude or wonder, gazing up at a vibrant rainbow arching across the sky. The rainbow is formed by ten golden cups arranged in an arc, symbolizing blessings, abundance, and divine favor after storms have passed. Below them, two children dance or play happily in the foreground, arms linked, while a cozy home sits on a gentle hill in the background, surrounded by green fields, trees, and a flowing river. The overall vibe is peaceful, fertile, and idyllic—like everything has aligned perfectly in the realm of the heart.
Meaning
Relationships in alignment
This, you can honestly say is someone who is close to your soul. They feel like home to you, and that is something you’d be hard-pressed to sacrifice. This is the pinnacle of everything you stood for and will stand for ever in this union.
If this relationship is a continuance in your life, it maybe a sign that new depth or demographics are about to be broached. It is time to sweep up the cobwebs, settle the debts, tie the knots and move forward with the next great chapter in your shared lives.
Ending leading to a new beginning
As will all Tens, this is the completion or apex of a cycle. It has reached its comfortable altitude. This is as deep as it goes, and you can be comfortable in these depths. Wade in it, and enjoy the moments.
In my Experience, it has come as the ending of a situation. That this is as far as this road goes, and that it is time to move on to new adventures of the heart. That there are greater things on the horizon.
The Ten of Cups Reversed
“It’s not what we have, but who we have that matters.”
— Unknown
Unstable foundations, misaligned ideals, delusion of happiness without fulfillment or truth
Overview
The Ten of cups in reversed is indicative of a relationship that wasn’t meant to last for one reason or another. This isn’t the end game, there is more out there. Consider that the depth of your love can’t compare to the puddle that your partner has to offer you.
Meaning
There maybe an unexpected hiccup in the thing you call true love that may put your relationship to the test. Approach the people you love and trust with caution and skepticism. There maybe an unexpected break in this happy home, infidelity, duplication. There maybe an unexpected separation that you could not have calculated.
Unstable foundations
The relationship you pray to be the last of your life is built on disillusion and trauma. If you look closely, one of the parties walked into the relationship completely broken, looking for the other to be a source of healing.
The rebound relationship for one is the real thing for the other. This is only meant to be temporary.
Misaligned ideals
What seems like emotional cheating to you is just friendly banter with the opposite sex to the other. The ideals, ethics, and morals of the situation is not on par with what you require from a partner. simultaneously it could be hampering the freedom of the other party.
For the sake of you both, ending this toxic cycle is the only option.
Delusion of happiness without fulfillment or truth
You keep telling yourself this is enough while knowing full well it’s not. If you’re crying more often than you are smiling with this person, fighting and screaming more often than simply coming to compromising agreements— it wasn’t meant for you.
Unfinished business
This could be a temporary ending, or if you decide otherwise— it’s a terminal thing. Regardless, there’s an agreement between your souls this isn’t over, it’s just a pause in the cycle. There maybe a need to go out and continue growing before you come back together.
Don’t hold your breath for them, the amount of time in this separation is indefinite. This could months or decades.
