The Ten of Cups symbolizes your happy ever after. After the hardships and struggles of achieving the things you want, you can kick back and enjoy your life for a while.
Sometimes, the Ten of Cups can mean that – deep down – you want that traditional family life with a white picket fence. If you’re performing a relationship reading, try to assess if you and your lover are on the same page with regards to the things you both want.
There will be times when the Ten of Cups appears in a negative spread position or as a drawback. Although rarely negative, the Ten of Cups can be if it appears to be in a ‘bad’ spread position. However, because the Ten of Cups is a card of hope, these interpretations only apply if it lands in a ‘negatives’ ‘drawbacks’ ‘obstacles’ or ‘challenges’ position.
If your Ten of Cups has landed in a negative spread position, it means that getting a happy family life you crave will not make you feel contented. Perhaps, you like the thought of having your desires more than you would enjoy living them.
There is also the possibility that no one can ever live up to your expectations. You want the dream guy who looks amazing, drives a great car, opens doors for you, surprises you with flowers every day, etc. You’re not willing to compromise, or you don’t bring much to the table. If this is the case, the Ten of Cups is telling you to be more realistic and set the bar a bit lower, or up your game. If you want a dream partner, you must also become a dream partner.
Ten of Cups Love Tarot Meaning
Marriage and children could be on the cards for this relationship. This is definitely something your partner wants, so do not worry about being open and honest if you feel the same way. If you’re already attached and the relationship is as serious as you would like, the Ten of Cups can predict a change of scenery and new home.
Struggling to achieve the type of relationship you want? And keep seeing the Ten of Cups as a ‘negative’ or ‘drawback’? This can mean that you’re too keen to express your future plans when you first meet someone. Or, your relationships possibly get too serious too quickly, and this causes them to fizzle out. Therefore, your Tarot cards are telling you to get to know potential partners better before you have fantasies of walking up the aisle.
However, the Ten of Cups is usually positive for love and partnerships. Even if it appears in a negative position, this can be a sign that all isn’t as bad as you think, and you will still get the things you want.

In some cases, your lover may not be ready to take the next step, not because they do not want to, but because they are not in the position to do so.
