Minor Arcana · Cups
Ten of Cups
Ten cups shine in a rainbow over two adults with raised arms and two dancing children: the heart at home.
By Tarot tradition: a mirror, not a verdict

Image and meaning
Seen from behind, two adults stand with an arm around each other and lift their free hands toward a rainbow of cups. Nearby, two children dance in a ring, too busy to look up and happy in their own way. A red-roofed house sits on the hill beyond. The card can mirror belonging in whatever shape it takes for you: a partner, friends, chosen family, a community, or a home inside yourself.

The suit of Cups: feelings and bonds.
Light and shadow
