The Ten of Cups Upright
We are here on this wonderful journey called life. While we’re down in the trenches, it’s tough. Very tough! Often we will feel regret, suffering and confusion. More often than not – some jealousy.

You see – we find others who are experiencing life at a higher frequency. They seem to take more vacations and have many more life experiences. We ask ourselves why do they get to experience such freedom?
Indeed, freedom is something that we inheritely envision for our own life. The freedom to do what we want with who we want. That type of freedom is open for all of us to acquire at any moment…if we so desire.
This simply starts with a change of our dialogue. Are we asking the right questions? Are we looking for the magic in the world that is so evidently there? If not – it’s time to change the dial.
Card meaning
We’ve used the Rider-Waite series for this reading of The Ten of Cups reversed. This is a ‘Yes’ tarot card and you may use any deck that you desire for a general or love reading.

On here we see a beautiful family. Parents are in joy and children are evidently dancing. There are hills and water in the distance. Indeed, it’s a magical time to be alive!
With 10 cups in the sky easily signifying a rainbow, it’s evident that love has triumphed over evil. The family has found the source of joy, happiness, laughter and more importantly….fun!
To experience such joy, it required breaking routines. You see – the family isn’t always like this. In fact, they are rarely like this! They were stuck on the road to nowhere (figuratively speaking that is…)
Instead of going around and around, they chose to find a new environment. They wanted a place conducive to growth. Have you ever moved house because you felt a new house would help your personal growth? Indeed this is what the family has done, only this move is just for an afternoon.
They have chosen to bask in the happiness which is found in life. Picking up this tarot card is often met with joy as it’s easily one of the happinest cards in the pack. The 10 cups are also displaying positive light and energy for the family to enjoy their time.
You are magic
Locked inside everyone is divine magic. It’s light. It’s love. A pillar of growth waiting to be unlocked. That is, when we’re ready to unlock the door.
We all want to climb to new heights. To experience the divine magic that the world offers. Indeed there is so much available to us. New countries, new opportunities and new chances for self growth.
Look at how much the spiritual and tarot space has grown over the last 15 years. People are seeking magic externally. Guess what? It’s actually found inside. It illuminates us. It can set us free, when we’re ready to let go and experience this joy.
So how can you experience all of this, starting today? That’s easy? Seek those you care about. Seek to share with them your love and light energy. Dance. Play. Nurture. Move away from the routines if even for a moment.
Above all else – fill your heart. Let it flow with love and light. Ultimately, that is what life is.
Your opportunity
This is your chance to shine. To finally unlock the floodgates and illuminate your life with all that you seek – joy, laughter and appreciation. Love always prevails regardless of how dark the night becomes.

You are light and it’s time to shine.
