The Tens represent that your relationship path either comes to a successful completion or you’ll start a new path because a current relationship is dissolving.
The Ten of Cups astrological relative is the planet Pluto (the power and force to live dreams).
The Ten of Cups is a great card in the positive position because it represents satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, love, and a long-lasting relationship that has successfully grown and developed. Since their backs are towards you in the card, it shows a reflection of the couple’s life together, past and future.
They went through good and bad times, but they weathered the storms together. They worked through everything and are still together, happy and content with what they’ve accomplished. The couple started at the Ace of Cups and are now at the completion stage of the Ten of Cups, suggesting they went through a lot to build the solid relationship they now have.
The ten golden cups in the rainbow is indicative of stories of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A rainbow usually appears after a rainstorm, suggesting the couple has weathered some difficult times, but have worked everything out. The rainbow represents the light at the end of the tunnel and the optimism the couple had to work through storms as a team. The rainbow is a sign of good luck that represents a colorful bridge creating balance and respect for each other as man and wife.
Additional deck interpretation:
You arrive at the path of the “Pony Express” – the love messenger… The Page of Cups works for the Royal Court under the direction of the Knight and the King. The Page is the messenger who delivers important love messages.
The Page of Cups represents you or outside influences: a friend, someone that may want to court you (a potential lover), counselor, mentor, or even an open enemy.
The Court Cards represent significant people who will enter your life. The Page of Cups ushers you into a fragile new beginning related to the heart. He is young, delivers his messages rapidly and represents a person who is still learning and changing personalities like the wind changes directions. He also represents a person who might bring unwelcome trouble when crossed by a negative card.
The Cups represent your personal outlook with respect to your emotional feelings and your tendency to think with your heart rather than with your head. This includes the connection to love, friendships and relationships, which exert such a strong pull on your decisions.
The message: “The Page of Cups wants to help everyone because he wants to earn another blue feather for his beret! The Page of Cups is the Prince Warrior on a mission to deliver love messages!”
Astrologically the Page of Cups is related to the water signs of Cancer (feeling, devotion), Scorpio (desire, intensity) and Pisces (belief, understanding).
The Page of Cups astrological relatives are the Moon (the keeper of secrets), planet Pluto (the power and force to live dreams), and Neptune (the planet that dissolves what it touches when you make the wrong decision, or the time when you are stuck in illusion or nostalgia).
My Interpretation Of The Page Of Cups
The energies of the Page of Cups are vulnerable and fragile or damaged and bruised. You’ve probably felt this energy during your experiences related to the affairs of the heart.
Sometimes a relationship is doomed because of your parent’s protection when they forbid your heart’s desire. Or, the time when you are self-absorbed, and push everyone away and then meet an amazing person who pushes you away. You end up broken-hearted, shut others out, and spend a long time in a twilight zone, seeing the reflection of a situation that you would rather forget, but can’!
In the Tarot, the Page represents the Prince, the youngest of the Royal Court. The Page of Cups represents the love messenger, “The Pony Express” rider who will deliver news to you, good or bad. He is on a mission to deliver messages connected to love, relationships, engagements, marriages, births, or developing romantic situations.
The Page of Cups is enumerated eleven (11), indicating completion and a new beginning with a situation. His role is to deliver a message that represents a timing of an event that will happen in your life, which may be good or bad, depending on the surrounding cards.
The Page is dressed in a blue tunic decorated with red and white tulips. Flowers represent the smell of sweet success because they open up and unfold with beauty and love. His blue beret indicates his sense of class and boundaries because he feels superior and aware of his own merit. The blue feather represents his status as the young warrior, on a mission to deliver messages.
The blue fish in the cup represents the Page’s subconscious. The Page is focused on the fish, receiving a message from his subconscious alerting him that a message needs to be delivered.
Positive Position: You may deliver or receive a message related to an important letter, email, text or phone call. The message may be from a close friend or a romantic interest. However, I do not trust the Page of Cups because the energies are vulnerable and fragile or damaged and bruised You should have a clarifying card pulled to cross the Page to determine intentions. Are the energies positive or negative?
You may receive important news related to a counselor or mentor, a time you are seeking help, or ready to follow through with an important dream. This new dream has the energies of the “Ace of Cups” and the Page ushers you into new beginning.
You might hear unexpected gossip related to a love interest or your negative emotional state may improve.
Negative Position: You may receive unexpected unpleasant news, experience delays, or something will fall away from you. An important letter, email, text, or phone message may result in surprises or unanticipated cancellations, something that disrupts your life.
You may receive an unpleasant message from a friend, counselor, mentor, or romantic interest. You may lose a love interest because you are unwilling to spend time on the relationship.
You may hear gossip that was created by an open enemy in conjunction with a hidden enemy in order to destroy your reputation.
Timing is usually immediate, 1 – 11 days, or related to the fall season.

Knight of Cups
by Safina
Additional deck interpretation:
The Knight of Cups points you towards a path of exploring your role as a romantic dreamer while you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.
This is the level on your continuous cycle of change when a transformation occurs in how you experience and deal with beginnings, endings and indecision concerning love, romantic interludes, following your dreams and using your intuition as a guide.
The Knight of Cups can refer to a person, an event, or a part of yourself. New people (perhaps a romantic interest) and new experiences may suddenly appear in your life. On an inner level, a dormant facet of yourself may become activated to enable you to realize your impossible dream, so your romantic feelings might be surging.
This Knight is constantly on the move and follows his intuition to live dreams. He lets his dreams dominate him and is usually pulled in two different directions. Since he knows that if he commits to someone or something he might miss experiencing his impossible dream, he is often unsure about the direction he needs to take.
Do not be fooled by his kindness. He is passionate, the “Romeo of all the Knights” and is also associated with transformation. Just be careful when dealing with this one!
When this most complicated knight in the tarot comes out in your reading, make sure you pull a crossing card to understand his intentions. If he is crossed by the Hermit, beware: all is not what it seems and he might have hidden intentions. You might end up in a sex with benefits relationship with no commitment. But if the Two of Cups crosses him, he has found “the one” and is living the impossible dream.
Numerical Number 12: This is the number of an educational process, or the time to shed old habits and start new experiences to achieve knowledge, wisdom and realize a dream.
This Knight’s number 12 indicates: 1 (a new beginning) + 2 (in a waiting period to make a decision) = 3 (rebirth and creating something new after you make the right decision).
The Element of Water: This card is associated with the elemental water qualities of the planet Neptune (spiritual awakener pushing you to live the impossible dream) and the zodiac sign of Pisces. This combination awakens your intuition and heart and brings you into a change to transform your life.
Probable Outcome: You might be turning your dreams inwards and living in your fantasies instead of taking action to make your dreams come true.
Or you might feel lost trying to live the impossible dream, spinning your wheels and meeting the wrong people and experiencing new beginnings and endings.
You might receive an invitation to attend a social event, holiday with friends, engagement party, wedding, or go out on a date.
If you are in a relationship, you might need your space because you do not want to feel pressured to give someone a commitment, or the person you are in a relationship with might need their space and cannot give you a commitment.
You might be falling out of love, or you might break a commitment, or end an engagement.
You might experience an unexpected ending in the form of a “Dear John or Dear Jane” event.
Possible Outcome: You might receive an invitation to attend a social event, holiday with friends, engagement party, wedding, and meet someone interesting, or you might go out on a date.
You might fall in love and commit to someone, or receive a commitment, or receive a marriage proposal.
Then again, you may be unable to channel the energies of the The Knight of Cups into your life. If this is the case, you probably feel inspired to turn your dreams outwards and take action on them.
Or you have realized that you were looking for love in the wrong places and have decided to change your direction.
Timing: The Knight of Cups predicts an important event when intuition and emotions are turned into action. This event may occur in 1-12 days.

Queen of Cups
by Safina
Additional deck interpretation:
The Queen of Cups points you towards a path of following your intuition while preparing for changes as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.
This is the level on your continuous cycle of change where intuition and spiritual messages help break new ground for transforming a current ordinary personal or professional situation into something extraordinary through use of innovation or a creative makeover.
The Queen of Cups is intuitive, spiritual, creative, artistic, and feels everything deeply. She is also associated with new beginnings and endings.
The Queen’s experiences with the past did not hold her back. She uses these experiences to help others while remembering how it feels to suffer from emotional chaos, get mired in the past, or to hang onto something for too long.
She has an inner knowledge and pays attention to her feelings and offers sound advice. She is a mother, clairvoyant, has a sixth sense, psychic abilities and provides counseling. She loves deeply, has strong family values, is the peacekeeper and loves to decorate her home.
The Queen can refer to a significant person who will enter your life, an impending important event, or something unexpected that will surface.
You might wonder why the Queen of Cups turned up in your reading! Is she trying to tell you something about yourself, or do you need to activate a part of yourself that has been dormant? Does the Queen come to tell you something about an important event that may occur?
Numerical Number 13: This number indicates the time of transformation so new ground can be broken to achieve a dream, the beginning of a new passage or important change.
The number 13 consists of: 1 (a new beginning) + 3 (rebirth and creating something new) = 4 (cleansed and purified and ready to build a new foundation).
The Element of Water: The Queen of Cups is associated with the elemental water qualities of the planet Pluto (radical changes, hidden gifts and evolution) and the zodiac sign of Scorpio. The combination of Pluto in Scorpio brings out deep feelings that cannot be ignored.
Probable Outcome: You might be on the verge of writing a will. You may get married or experience a baptism or Holy communion.
Perhaps you are looking for a partner so you feel complete.
You may be listening to your intuition and acting on your feelings, or protecting someone who needs your help.
You could be reaching out to a family member, friend, or are interested in a creative business opportunity.
You are reaching out to a counselor, social worker, childcare worker or nurse for immediate assistance to overcome a challenge.
Possible Outcome: You could be experiencing a heartbreak or feeling betrayal on a deep level.
You may feel cold and distant and do not want to associate with others, seek a relationship, or attend any special events.
You are caught up in your own world and do not have time for others, or you are mired in a depression and cutting yourself off from others. You are not ready to seek assistance to overcome any of your challenges.
Your intuition is blocked, or you cannot act on your feelings, or protect someone who needs your help.
Then again, you may be unable to channel the energies of the Queen of Cups into your life. If this is the case, you probably have decided not to lose yourself in love and intimacy. You will instead work in a creative business and use your artistic talents to express your feelings through your work.
Timing: The Queen of Cups predicts an important event when intuition and emotions are turned into action. This event may occur in 1-3 days.

King of Cups
by Safina
Additional deck interpretation:
You arrive at the path of the ladies’ man with a secret…
The King of Cups represents knowledge. The King is older and experienced and could possibly be married as well. He is independent, secretively emotional, determined, ambitious, and manipulating.
The King of Cups is called the “The Ladies’ Man with a Secret” or “The Husband Card” in my deck. The Kings are related to the Court Cards and represent you or outside influences.
The Court Cards represent significant people who will enter your life. The King of Cups brings knowledge to youthrough your life experiences! He is the person to consult for advice and has the ability to climb to great heights because he is a doer. He is a leader with strong emotional forces that push him to venture forth into the world to retrieve what he needs and wants under his own secretive initiative.
The message: “I need to be in control of my environment, and need to know what is going on around me at all times. I am ambitious and sometimes difficult to read because I control my position of power by not allowing people access into my personal and confidential life!”
Astrologically, the King of Cups incorporates the energy of Cancer (the cardinal leader that initiates change). The Cancer Crab is mysterious, and has a hidden driving force that is different to understand. The crab will hide in its shell until it’s ready to face a situation, or the crab will initiate action and leave its shell, or the crab will initiate action and return to its shell and keep someone waiting in thrall. The crab is complex, but do not be fooled by the crab. The crab will attack to protect and initiate changes that need to be made.
The King of Cups astrological relatives are the Moon (the keeper of secrets), planet Pluto (the power and force to live dreams), and Neptune (the planet that dissolves what it touches when you make the wrong decision, or the time when you are stuck in illusion or nostalgia).
Symbolism
The leaping Dolphin represents the King who is always jumping up to see what’s going on around him. The turbulent water represents the King’s secretive, edgy emotions, which belie his outward calm.
The Red Ship indicates action, trouble, and may represent an officer of the law chasing pirates (the King working with lawmen to deal with lawbreakers).
The Kings Shoes are spotted yellow and black (dangerous puffer fish). The yellow represents the King’s intelligence with every step that he takes, and the black represents the planet Saturn, suggesting that the King has no room for errors, and he blows fuses when he gets angry.
My Interpretation of the King Of Cups Tarot Card
The King of Cups is enumerated fourteen and represents the numbers 1 + 4 (= 5). 5 represents the connection to the Hierophant (the divine). He holds a golden cup (treasure of strong traditional values and beliefs). He dominates his role as the King, stubbornly lives by tradition, and resists change.
The King represents a person who is dedicated to his career such as a counselor, religious professional, doctor, teacher, or high-ranking leader. He is wise, intelligent, a good listener, supportive, and provides guidance. He is mature, confident, has a deep understanding of his emotions, and understands the currents of change, which can throw you off balance.
He is kind and considerate and willing to help you. He will show you how to navigate through your challenges because he has been in your shoes. This King stays strong by always controlling his environment. He is very ambitious and sometimes a difficult person to read. He controls his position of power by not allowing people access to his personal and confidential life. Looking calm on the outside, he keeps his emotions hidden.
The King of Cups represents a person with an addiction problem in my deck of cards, and this is the reason that he is hard to figure out. He may exhibit a selfish and uncaring side of himself, or he may have secret motives which he covers up with his façade. He can secretively hold something over your head, using his powers to push his personal agenda.
Positive Position: A special person may enter your life to give you good advice or counsel so that you can heal and reach your highest potential. When the King of Cups appears you need to pull another card and cross the King to determine the needed resolution (Swords = conflicts, Pentacles = growth and development, Wands = action to obtain achievement desire, Cups = love and emotions).
You might be reaching out to someone for help, or someone might be reaching out to you. This person may be a friend, family member, father figure, spiritual teacher, mentor, counselor, doctor, boss, client, potential lover or an entertainer.
You may be unaware of rumors being generated by a hidden enemy. This person wants to trash your reputation to make themselves look better because they’re competing with you.
Negative Position: The King represents someone who may have an addiction problem or be a person who will not commit to you emotionally. He could also represent a con man or someone with secret motives and personal agendas. Negative crossing cards indicate difficult resolutions or that the situation takes a turn for the worse (Swords = conflicts, Pentacles = growth and development, Wands = action to obtain achievement desire, Cups = love and emotions).
You might be reaching out to someone for help, or someone might be reaching out to you. This person may be a friend, family member, father figure, spiritual teacher, mentor, counselor, doctor, boss, client, potential lover or an entertainer. Either way, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.
You may become aware of rumors being generated by a hidden enemy. This person wants to trash your reputation to make themselves look better because they’re competing with you.
Timing of the King of Wands is unpredictable, and the timing is unknown in my deck of cards.
