Ten of Cups
The Ten of Cups shows a family of narwhals emerging from the sea to bask in the heavenly glow of the Northern Lights, symbolizing shared joy and communal blessing. Unlike the Nine of Cups, which marks the start of personal success, the Ten signifies sharing that success with family and loved ones and represents a true "Happily Ever After." It indicates achieved abundance, security, gratitude, harmony, and alignment within family and community. Reversed, it warns of misaligned values, strained family ties, conflicts, or unstable and potentially abusive home environments that require attention.

Meaning
A family of narwhals emerge from the sea to bask in the heavenly glow of the Northern Lights. While the Nine of Cups indicates the start of personal success, the Ten signifies the sharing of that success with family and loved ones. It is truly the "Happily Ever After" card. You have not only achieved abundance and security, but also are privileged with family and community to share it with. In its reversed position, however, the Ten of Cups suggests there is a misalignment of values, family conflicts, or even abusive, unstable home environments.

Visual Description
Three narwhal heads emerge from a shimmering sea, their long twisted tusks crossed in the center. Ten goblets float in an arc across the upper sky against a backdrop of aurora-like bands and distant mountains. The palette is cool purples, blues, and teal with highlights of pale pink and white. Gentle waves and reflective water occupy the lower portion of the oval frame, and the scene is bordered by a thin rectangular frame with a small Roman numeral X at the top.
