The card of the Ten of Cups portrays the raising of Psyche to divine status, so that she may enter the world of the gods with her husband. The couple stand once again in Eros’ beautiful palace, hands Jinked. Psyche no longer wears her virginal white gown; she is clothed now in shimmering gold, and on her shoulders, like her husband, bears a pair of golden wings. Before them stand ten golden cups.

Minor Arcana ~ The Ten of Cups

The Ten of Cups represents a state of permanence and ongoing contentment. The ecstasy of the reunion of the lovers in the Nine of Cups has not dissipated, as did the celebration of the Three into the discontent of the Four, for this marriage is built upon a conscious union of two loving but separate partners. Thus they can enjoy a future which will withstand any challenges offered by life or by the gods.

That Psyche is raised to immortal status implies that her love for Eros now encompasses not only a personal, sensual dimension, but a spiritual one as well. Eros has been humanized by Psyche’s love; he no longer needs to hide his face from her sight. Psyche, on the other hand, experiences that sense of connectedness with the divine which deep love can sometimes bring. It is sometimes said that loving another person opens the heart to loving life itself; life has meaning and purpose, and a larger, brighter world appears before one’s vision. Plato once wrote that when we look into the face of the beloved, we see there the reflection of the god to whose choir we once belonged. It is as though love, when it has passed through many tests and been built upon honesty and humility, connects us with our own souls, and with a feeling of permanence, meaning and rightness in life. This is the promise inherent in the Ace of Cups, which culminates in the Ten. Not every relationship can achieve it, and no relationship can achieve it all the time. Yet we humans seem to go on trying.

On a divinatory level, the Ten of Cups augurs ongoing contentment and permanence in the realm of the heart.
