Ten of Cups
Meanings
Dance for joy. True riches - health and happiness in those you love. Success in the fields that really count. Security and satisfaction. Peace and a time of plenty.
Reversed (?)
Gifts taken for granted. You have so much to be thankful for, take time to celebrate the love and luxury in your life.
Description
A happy family pose in front of a green rural landscape. The mother and daughter wear blue silk gowns, the father wears a plain grey and black coat and the golden haired young baby wears nothing. The father holds a pair of spectacles and a book, and looks to the sky as though deep in thought. The rest of the family look at the viewer. The daughter has a hunting horn and holds the collar of a white whippet dog.
