When this card appears, we are happy with what life has to offer us. We may feel the joy of reciprocated love from our chosen families or networks of care, which don't have to follow any blueprint, because love looks like whatever it looks like to us. This happiness may also be entirely within ourselves, marking an achievement in our emotional journey of self-love or healing, or it may arise in conjunction with a project, role, or experience that fills us with the joy of having a gratifying purpose. In the 10 of Cups, we've found a contentment that comes from being true to our authentic selves, following our authentic dreams, and living an existence that is meaningful to us, by our own standards. We are fulfilled.
Painting
In our card, ten vessels of all sorts form an overflowing fountain, the waters of emotion streaming from the mug of the Ace down into every cup, filling them all. One flows into the next, highlighting our interconnectedness and our emotional plenty as we all drink from the source which never empties, the source which is unconditional love.
