What does the Ten of Cups tarot card mean?

In and of itself, the Ten of Cups is traditionally considered an indicator of home, the hearth, and family relationships. Its appearance in a spread can indicate the presence or influence of corresponding forces in the given matter, and sometimes that the events described by other cards (whether favorable or not so much) will specifically affect the querent's family life and immediate circle.

What does the Ten of Cups reversed mean?

First and foremost, the meaning relates to a temporary loss of harmony in relationships, family quarrels, the testing of feelings, discord, turmoil, and irritation. It is rivalry, opposition, disagreement, a divergence of opinions. The cause of the destruction of family happiness can be some external event (other cards can point to it). Old interpretations darken the picture down to anger, indignation, violence (physical and emotional, including furious scandals and the heating of the atmosphere in the house to the point of brawling). When a very auspicious card falls reversed, it brings to mind the saying "unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required," and here also "there is a thin line between love and hate." This is the loss of truly great happiness, which is why the pain is immense. In the worst-case scenario, this is a card of divorce.
