Combination of card Five of Cups and card Ten of Cups

A combination of two cup cards, one upright and one reversed, predicts a complex emotional situation. It could be unfinished business or old grudges resurfacing and interfering with present happiness. But there's good news: the Five of Cups upright promises that everything will resolve, and even difficult experiences can offer valuable lessons. Just remember to stay open and not fear facing the past.

Combination of card Five of Cups and reversed card Ten of Cups

Let's now turn over the Five of Cups. In this position, it may predict that you are trying to avoid facing the past, turning a blind eye to it. This can create a sense of false happiness, highlighted by the Ten of Cups. It's important to remember that such happiness is likely short-lived. True joy and peace can only be achieved after dealing with everything that has accumulated behind you.

Combination of reversed card Five of Cups and card Ten of Cups

When the Two of Cups are upright, they symbolize harmony and joy. The Five of Cups indicates that you have overcome all difficulties, and the Ten of Cups brings you peace and happiness. These could be any joyful events: a wedding, the birth of a child, a family celebration. It's important to remember that such a state requires self-work, as no one is immune to problems.

Combination of reversed card Five of Cups and reversed card Ten of Cups

If the Ten of Cups is reversed and the Five of Cups is upright, it can symbolize emotional exhaustion. Too much joy and happiness can eventually lead to the opposite effect. It's like eating too many sweets: at first, there's joy, but then comes nausea. Remember, it's important to enjoy these moments, but it's also important to know when to stop.
