The "Tens" in the Tarot Deck represent transcendent
completion - as opposed to the mere physical completion of the "Nines".
That is, not only has the task been completed, but the performer (seeker)
has also learnt the lessons and experienced the spiritual development
brought to him/her by the task or situation.
In the case of the Ten of Cups this theme of complete fulfulment refers
to romantic and familial love. Many decks depict a happy family surrounded
by everything that they might need on the Ten of Cups card.
This card is interpreted slightly differently according to its position
in a spread. For example, when in a position relating to "the issue"
or "the situation" it may suggest that the whole reading is addressing
the family and positive fulfillment of family issues. However, when
it appears as an "outcome" card it is even more positive as this implies
that the course of events is consistent with happy times for everyone
as a result.
