March 30. 2010 - Ten of Cups

This seems a wonderfully auspicious card to get on the day of an astrological reading.  Actually, when life is giving you lemons, it's a  perfect, hopeful card.  It is a card not of mere contentment or happiness, but true joy.  It's a card also of peace and harmony, without and within.  Finally, the appearance of this card often signals a time of abundant blessings.  I could use some of that right now.

In the Jane Austen Tarot, the Ten of Teacups depicts two couples just wed, Jane Bennett and Carles Bingley and Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy.  After overcoming many obstacles, the two couples finally wed.  This is depicted on the Four of Teacups.  The Ten of Teacups reveals the joy of this commitment.  It represents a felicitous home life.

The Ten of Teacups is a card of joy, peace, and felicity realized at last.  It doesn't come without work.  This card tells you that your hard work will be rewarded, my hard work will be rewarded.  It's been a hard road the last couple of years. It would be nice to reap some rewards, to know joy and peace and abundant blessings.

I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring, but for now I'm enjoying this promise of rainbows and good times.
