Rider-Waite-Smith Radiant Tarot- 10 of Cups

The Tens generally imply, fixed, culminated, completed Force and the Rider-Waite-Smith card concentrates it's imagery on the phenomena that all happiness comes from the above. Hence the rainbow band of Cups. This concept is opposed to the mundane belief that "Accumulation of Things" makes one happy. The idea here is that Happiness created us as it's material expression, rather than the gathering of material makes us happy, which seems to be what the adults are thinking. However, when observing a child playing, one may understand that happiness is what we are, not what we seek. This was well expressed in the Nag Hammadi Library, a Gnostic Text where Jesus Christ is quoted as saying (Gospel of Didymos Judas Thomas): "Let the seeker seek until he finds, for when he finds he shall become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he shall become astonished! When he becomes astonished, he shall know that he is ruler over the All."

When we seek happiness outside of ourselves by accumulation of things, titles, or people, after time, we become troubled, for what we thought was happiness, just becomes mundane and mediocre at best. But after this realization, one begins looking inward, and after being truthful to themselves, they become astonished! For within is the fulfillment of the One who began this universe as "I Will Be", which created the One Mind of I AM (recognition of existence) and after we dig through all the mental trash of our man-made worded identity, we find the glowing Sun of the I Am within, who is now happy and content, for it is now "I AM Being", a fulfillment of the Original Will ! We now understand that we are the One who is All, reflecting upon itself as a "Me".

MALKUTH, Earth, is the 10th Sephiroth on the Tree of Life, and is the placement of the 4 Tens, implying material happiness, but not a deep spiritual happiness., when we seek happiness. This is because, Happiness, is what we are and not what we seek; a thought antitheses to the world of the Patriarchy's great consumerism's be sure, when Tarot is used for Divination, Rider-Waite-Smith's card it is best applied to mundane and/or family matters, whereas the meaning may be different if applied to a more occult plane as the less traditional cards attempts to do. The God name for Kether is Eheieh, meaning "I Will Be", your God Name is "I Am Being".

The Prophet Tarot, 10 of Cups, displays all 10 cups in a crescent shaped silver-rainbow. It is an obvious monochrome; a Gothic upgrade of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot and has the same meanings. Because it is a Ten, it is the total end of a cycle of things previously known. A new cycle/phase begins. It is all the meanings of the Rider-Waite-Smith Card, as such, it states that this is as happy as you can be in the present cycle, which is ending soon. This doesn't mean we shan't be happy in the next cycle, it may state that there are higher states of happiness to be reached. Hence, it would benefit you to stop and smell the roses around you and enjoy the beautiful happiness of the day. We've yet to remember ourselves as the "Heavenly Human".

In ordinary matters, the divined meaning of the Rider-Waite-Smith and 10 of Cups card is , matters definitely arranged as wished (by the Unconscious), permanent and lasting success. This meaning of material success is reinforced if the 10 of Cup's lands on the position of "Beneath you" or "of House and Home", on a Celtic Cross layout. In fact, that would be paramount for this card, as it is a 10 of Malkuth (Kingdom) in a Earthly existence position.

When one is viewing the Ten's, one must remember that in Qabalistic gematria, 1+0=1, therefore, we are cycling back to the beginning of something new that is willed by the Spirit. Ten's may mean satiety, but not of ourselves, just of something we desired to achieve in the material world. We will move on to even greater things as constant transformation is the way of Life.

WHEN THE 10 OF CUPS IS THROWN DURING A DIVINATION, IT IMPLIES:

  • Emotional contentment, reached after strife.
  • Happiness found internally.
  • When motivated by love of being, the unfoldment of the highest wisdom.
  • Experiencing an emotional relationship or psychic work that is stable and satisfying with awareness that soon it will be time to move on.
  • The gift of bringing light and good cheer to others, simply by happily being yourself.
  • The fulfillment of a desire of paramount importance and not necessarily what one wants.
  • A happy town (Rider-Waite-Smith). 

When ill defined by the surrounding cards or Reversed , it implies: (Reversed meanings are not used in Western Hermetic Qabalistic Tarot-such a Thoth Tarot. Ill dignity comes from surrounding cards).

  • Sentimentalism. 
  • Bathos.
  • Inner emptiness.
