This opening provides a GENERAL perspective to the period you are in. Or you can evaluate the comments in the frame of your question.
Ten of Cups
Upright
Divine love, blissful relationships, harmony, alignment
The Ten of Cups represents emotional satisfaction and happiness, especially in your relationships and family. You have created plenty of love and happiness in your life. You share a powerful connection with your loved ones. You support one another, and together, you encourage each other to reach your greatest potential.
The Ten of Cups card is considered the ‘happy family’ card, implying that your family connections are peaceful and loving. This card may show up when you are spending more time with family, perhaps on a holiday or celebration, where you can rest and enjoy together.
In a love reading the Ten of Cups is a positive card and may symbolize either a new relationship or a commitment. You share an eternal love and you are soul mates destined to be together.
When the Ten of Cups shows up in a Tarot reading, you have a feeling of wholeness, fulfillment in your connections with others. You are experiencing a pleasant state of peace, harmony, and love where your dreams came true. Take a moment to enjoy everything you succeeded. You created a life of happiness by following your heart and trusting yourself.
The Ten of Cups inspires you to follow your heart to guide you to the possibilities aligned with your Highest Good. When something feels wonderful, do more of it; and when something doesn’t feel fit, do less of it. Allow your inner guidance to guide the way. Explore opportunities that fulfill you and align with your preferences instead of tracking the path that others require you to take.
Reversed
Disconnection, misaligned values, struggling relationships
When the reversed Ten of Cups card arrives in a Tarot reading, you are asking higher harmony in your connections. You had hoped for a beautiful, peaceful relationship, but in reality, you feel detached and disengaged from your loved person. It may feel as if something is missing, and you’re striving to talk sincerely, empathize with one another. Each time you try to connect, something goes opposite, and you end up with even more disconnected. You may have nonsensical expectations of the connection: that everything will be excellent and cheerful every minute you are together. If this resonates, then change your expectations and realize that every connection has its ups and downs. Or, you may no longer be suitable for each other, in which case you may think to leave.
The Ten of Cups invites you to seek out common spot with your loved ones and restore the relationship from there. See the other person as a being deserving your love; and fairly, see yourself as a being worthy of theirs. Love and be loved. Open the channels of contact and be ready to hold a place for one another so you can reconnect on a more profound level. Be kind, empathetic, and attentive, and endeavor harmony.
The reversed Ten of Cups can also appear when you are envisioning what a love connection indicates for you. Rather than creating connections with other people, you are concentrating your awareness inward so you can get certainty around what you want from a connection. You may look at your current relationships and review how these relationships arrange with your passions. Let go of any that no longer give you happiness, and welcome in new connections in adjustment with your Highest Good.
The reversed Ten of Cups can show an unbalance of personal preferences. You are not living by your values, nor are you being authentic to yourself. Bring your center back to what really makes you happy even if it varies from what others expect.
Finally, the reversed Ten of Cups may imply that you are ignoring your family while you proceed more material purposes such as improving your career or earning more money.
The Star
Upright
Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality
As the Star is next card after the Tower in the Tarot, it comes as a fresh start after a time of destruction and turbulence. You have endured many challenges and freed yourself from any limiting beliefs that were previously holding you back. No matter what life sends you, you know that you are always united to the loving energy of Divine. You hold a new sense of self, new gratitude for your Essence.
The Star brings refreshed hope and a feeling that you are truly blessed by the Universe. You are entering a peaceful phase in your life with a more deep knowledge of both yourself and the people around you. This is a time of meaningful personal growth and progress as you are now ready to receive the many graces of the Universe.
With the Star card, anything is possible and the magic is moving around you. Allow yourself to dream and to aspire in any way possible so you can touch the stars.
You may also want to rediscover meaning and direction in your life. You are making some important differences in your life, transforming yourself to the new you and, in doing so, you are producing about a fresh viewpoint. This is a great spiritual journey that will renew your inner vitality.
The Star also suggests an overflowing spirit. You want to share your resources with others to help change their lives. You have an open heart, and you now want to share the blessings you gained so that other people may benefit.
Reversed
Lack of faith, despair, self-trust, disconnection
The reversed Star card can suggest that you’ve lost belief and hope. You may be feeling defeated by life’s difficulties right now and asking why you are being put through this. You may be desperately questioning the Universe to give you some release but can’t see how the Divine is on your side. Take a moment to ask yourself what life lesson is in the situation, and how this is beneficial to you but is not a punishment.
Often, the reversed Star is a test of faith. When confronted with a challenging situation, you can either disintegrate like the Tower or stand strong in your faith that the Divine is everywhere. You will also learn how to trust not only in the Universe but also in yourself. Divine flows through you, and when you have confidence in yourself, you allow the Divine to radiate through.
The Star reversed also reveals that you are uninspired with life or parts of your life (for example, work, love, projects, etc.). Perhaps you began with great enthusiasm, but you are now finding yourself overwhelmed by day-to-day routines that are dull. In career readings, this card is particularly suitable when you feel detached from the work you do and question if it’s time to make a change. Try to connect to what is truly meaningful to you again. Adjust your life with this goal, and you will find new sources of inspiration.
The reversed Star urges you to take time for nourishment on a deeply spiritual level. Your energy resources may be exhausted, so rather than forcing yourself further, make time just for you.
Temperance
Upright
Balance, moderation, patience, purpose
Temperance is the card for making balance into your life. It is time to stabilize your energy and to allow the life force to flow through you without additional effort. Recover flow and you can get your life back into harmony.
This card invites you to stay calm, even when life feels stressful. Maintain an even temper and watch your emotions. You have learned to keep prepared in harsh situations. Little details don’t get to you, because of your rich patience. Your respect for tranquillity is what will help you feel fulfillment in your life.
The Temperance card invites you to take the middle path and receive all viewpoints. It’s not the time to be extremely stubborn. Be the observer and try to avoid any extremes.
This Tarot card is about alchemy by mixing and combining different components in a way that produces something new.
The Temperance card explains that you have a pure sight of what you want to accomplish. Don’t rush things; you should take your time to guarantee that you do the best of you. You know you need a gentle, guided strategy to reach your aims.
Finally, this card indicates very important knowledge. You are achieving a big understanding of where you are at peace with what you are doing. Your intuition is leading you to the result, and you are calmly following.
Reversed
Imbalance, excess, self-healing, re-alignment
If you’re undergoing a phase of dissipation, the Reversed Temperance card is your signal to recover balance as soon as possible. You may have been eating too much, habitually drinking, over-buying, or involving in negative thinking patterns. These activities are taking you further away from your true self. So, it is time to stop and bring your life back into balance.
The reversed Temperance card could also be a warning you feel that something is ‘absent’ in your life, producing tension. Life is not progressing as smoothly as you had expected or you feel that something is not right. You can carry on with life as normal by ignoring it. But, you should notice Temperance’s lesson: If you wait in this situation for too long, that voice will just get louder. Or, you can accept it now and make the required improvements to discover your flow again.
The reversed Temperance card could be an invitation for healing and re-examining your life priorities. By building more stability and balance in your life, you open the possibility of adjusting your higher vibration.
