Tarot Card of the Day – December 14, 2009

Deck: Morgan-Greer Tarot

Element: Water
Associations: Emotions; feelings; relationships

The 10 of Cups can represent a pleasant event, relationship, job or a deal gone right.

The two arms in this card hold one cup together, a gesture of unification, cooperation, positivity and celebration. A rainbow flows out of this cup into the sky, across nine other cups that appear in the background in a diagonal pattern like a ladder. I see each cup as a stepping stone and each cup represents and achievement, the ninth cup the highest goal. In numerology, the number 9 represents accomplishments. And the number 1, symbolic of the one cup being held by both parties, shows the importance of a solid building block, purity and strength. The background of the surrounding meadow with trees and lush grass-covered hills denote growth and things coming to fruition. The calm water is metaphoric of the serene atmosphere.

The 10 of Cups was one of those draws that feels perfect. My 34th birthday was this past Tuesday and my boyfriend made this week very special. The holidays are in full swing, and have been since November, which was the last time I posted an entry on the blog (more on that later).
