Ten of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day
“Embracing gratitude and life's enchanting wonders.”
The Ten of Cups represents gratitude for the magic that’s weaving through your life, right at this very moment. You can’t see this magic if you are on autopilot, mad, stressed, or anxious. You can only perceive it if you choose to stop feeding tension, step out of your routines, and open your eyes to the miracles at play. When you open yourself to this magic, great things begin to happen in your life. This shimmering magic is darting about everywhere, but you may have to adjust your perspective to see it.
Do "problems" seem to suck all the oxygen out of your day?
Do you know you "have it good," but just can't seem to see it, feel it, or sense it? Is there stress, anger, or tension living in your heart?
The family depicted on the Ten of Cups is like any other. They have problems to solve, work to do, kids to raise, and routines that govern their day. And yet, they are doing something that many of us don’t do enough. They are soaking in the magic at play in their lives, in the present. The home that the family shares is in the distance, nestled in a thicket of trees on the hilltop. It is where they spend most of their time. In the house, love prevails, but there is also bickering, disagreements and squabbles between the children that need to be broken up.
Being in the house, it is difficult for the family to actually see the house. So, the husband took his wife and kids out of their home and up the road. The family stepped out of routines and held each other close. When the husband and wife looked back at their home, a magical thing happened. A colorful rainbow filled the sky, illuminating each of their blessings. Rainbows are messengers of Spirit. The message is that showing gratitude for life, just as it is, attracts even more good luck and miracles. The family truly feels alive. They have such a love for each other. This love makes everything alright.
The couple raises their hands in gratitude for the abundance they have. The children are overcome as well and dance merrily in the moment. The family now has a new awareness of the magic they don’t always see. They were so close to this magic, that they were unable to see it.
Choose to see in the magic weaving through your life.
To see this magic, you might need to step out of the house, and away from your routines. If you do get a glimpse of it, it might just fill your heart and make your eyes a little misty.
When the Ten of Cups appears, it’s time to open your heart to those you love most. Give them a hug and tell them how important they are. Acknowledge the love that is all around you and do something to increase it.
There is magic dancing through your life. It weaves into your spirit and connects you with everyone and everything around you. It’s in the air, the water, the trees, the people you love and in every particle of light.
Whisper a word of gratitude, for magical things are happening!
