Tarot Cards of the Day. The Ten's

Ten of Wands :


A time of Oppression


Fire              Has the ability to bring warmth and re-birth, but also destruction if not controlled. It represents our creativity, ambition and inspiration. As such it becomes the element that governs our desires, projects and achievements.



Positive traits : Susceptible to pressure, possibility of over commitment

Negative traits : Beware of deceit, heavy burdens and abuses of power




Ten of Cups :

Continuous successes

Water          When in it's normal state, the fluidity of water represents the ebb and flow of our emotions, relationships and affairs of the heart.  If frozen it can represent challenges or stagnation. As steam, it could represent emotional turmoil and a tendency to over react. It governs the suit of Cups, which are good containers when handle correctly, but if knocked off balance, can readily spill their contents.


Positive traits : Enjoy a sense of commitment, peace and love

Negative traits : Avoid antisocial behaviour, expect a disruption to your routine




Ten of Swords :


Possible ruin


Air                Represents issues surrounding character, intelligence, communication and values. As this element governs the suit of swords, it often suggest challenges that will test the mettle of a persons character, intelligence, communication skills and personal values.


Positive traits: Very few

Negative traits : A period of negativity, desolation, ruin and continued suffering / difficulties



Ten of Pentacles :


Wealth in all things

Earth           This is the element that relates to all things material, work, business, money and wealth. Success or failure will depend upon how strong the foundation is. Did you start on firm ground or soft? It is easy to see why when you consider where the worlds economic wealth hails from. Whether it is precious metals, gems, gas or oil, all need to be removed from the Earth.


Positive traits : Possible inheritance, wealth, family ties, emotional / financial security

Negative traits : Potential for financial or  family difficulties / restrictions


This marks the end of the Minor Arcana 'Pip cards.' Next, we shall look at the Court cards for each suit.


Blessed be.
