Say Hello to the Tens in Tarot
Their Differences
The number 10 is the biggest in the Minor Arcana. Therefore:
The Ten of Wands is the biggest burden you can have.
The Ten of Cups is the biggest happiness you can feel.
The Ten of Swords is the biggest pain you can endure.
The Ten of Pentacles is the biggest abundance you can enjoy.
Ten of Wands
Main Meaning: Burden. Either in the sense of having too many tasks to accomplish for the day, or too many problems in life to deal with.
Positive Meaning: Being burdened by a harvest. First-world problems. Like having too much money that you do not know where to put it all.
Ten of Cups
Main Meaning: Happiness. The kind you get from knowing there is a special someone or an entire loving family you can share your joys and sorrows with.
Negative Meaning: Nothing. The Ten of Cups at its worst only means that your fairy tale ending is delayed. In divine timing, it will arrive.
Ten of Swords
Main Meaning: Pain. Physical or emotional. Feeling like you cannot take it anymore. As if death would be a sweet relief to your current ordeal.
Positive Meaning: The worst is over. You have experienced the peak of agony. From here on out, whatever follows will be tolerable.
Ten of Pentacles
Main Meaning: Abundance. Usually material. Not the kind that lasts for just a few minutes, but one that will stay for the rest of your life.
Negative Meaning: Nothing. Like the Ten of Cups, the Ten of Pentacles at its worst only means your stability is delayed but still promised.
