Ten of Cups
Set beneath the Slavic World Tree, the Ten of Cups depicts domestic harmony, chosen bonds, and shared traditions that bring emotional fulfillment and a secure sense of home. Upright, it signifies family unity, marriage or reunion, the softening of old hurts through forgiveness, and gratitude practiced within a supportive community. The card emphasizes steady, lasting love and the everyday work of tending relationships. Reversed, it warns of hollow appearances, mismatched values, and unspoken resentments that require boundaries, honest conversation, and realistic expectations. Choosing authentic connection over appearance and tending the roots restores affection and allows the tree to bear sweet fruit again.

Visual description
A family of three rests at the roots of a vast, gnarled tree in a green forest. The man in a green robe plays a lute-like instrument, while the woman in an embroidered dress weaves a flower crown. A child gathers berries beside a wicker basket filled with red apples, and a small stream glints at the tree’s base. Ten ornate cups stand among the branches like shining fruit.
Meaning
Under the Slavic World Tree, ten goblets ripen on the boughs while music and weaving fill the clearing, evoking hearth and kin. The Ten of Cups arrives like a household blessing, celebrating bonds that are chosen, tended, and shared. Upright, it promises emotional fulfillment, family harmony, and the security of a home where gratitude is practiced and traditions are made. It can herald marriage, reunion, or the simple peace of being welcomed by your people, with community support extending beyond the door. Old hurts soften as forgiveness takes root and the harvest is enjoyed together. Love here is not a rush of passion but a steady song that holds the day. Reversed, the picture-perfect scene may feel hollow: mismatched values, unspoken resentments, or chasing an ideal rainbow that keeps receding. Boundaries, honest conversation, and realistic hopes are needed to restore the flow of affection. Choose to water the roots—authentic connection over appearance—and the tree bears sweet fruit again.
