Ten of Cups
The Ten of Cups represents the completion of an emotional cycle and the realization of dreams. Like the butterfly that transforms through consuming its own kind in ancient Mesoamerican culture, this card symbolizes the highest manifestation of feelings and emotional liberation. It signifies either reaching a new level in relationships or recognizing that 'all the best has been lived' and it's time to move forward as friends. The card calls for seeking new emotional stimuli and meaning in life as one chapter closes and another begins.

Symbolism
The blue butterfly – a blue copper butterfly, which we have also discussed. The butterfly is a cannibal that eats its own kind and those like itself, which in ancient Mesoamerican culture was the highest manifestation of feelings – ritual consumption. Ribs are depicted, representing the heart center, the heart chakra. Here we clearly see 'the little house where love lives' with a huge heart and a family on the balcony. It's the butterfly of liberated feelings. The realization of our dreams.
Card's Message
A person's period of infatuation is coming to completion. If we're talking about love – it's a new level, but it could also mean that 'all the best has been lived' – let's part as friends. Career – the person needs a new emotional stimulus, something that fills them emotionally. Money – this card isn't strongly about money, but in all tens there's the meaning that it's necessary to seek new meaning in life, as this stage has ended.
Visual Description
A large turquoise butterfly with rib-like lower wings dominates the center of the card, hovering above a cluster of stilted houses and a small building marked with a red heart. Blue flowers and lush green foliage frame the top and bottom edges, and faint decorative skull motifs appear in the pale background behind the butterfly. The word "CUPS" is printed along the bottom border and the number "10" appears on both left and right edges of the card.
