How this card could present itself in real life
One of my students once came to class and we spoke about the week that had just past she mentioned the weekend which had been a lovely time spend with family at the park. This scenario is a perfect and simple depiction of the Ten of Cups.
To align it with something in my own life at the time of writing I am planning a holiday and the joy and daydreams before the holiday might actually be more like the Ten of Cups than the reality. We create a dream world of how things will be and then we will undoubtedly still have a fantastic time but will it be as perfect as in our imagination?
