Now, let's go back to some storytelling and numerology to start. 

You learned that nine means attainment and fulfillment.

Ten represents the completion of a cycle and renewal.

So with the Nine of Cups, that new mom got her wish to be offered a work opportunity that could fit her lifestyle with motherhood and staying at home. 

And now that she has the job, she is happy and feels complete. 

Her baby is lovely, her husband is loving, and her friends and family are supportive. 

She can truly appreciate them and those who were there for her during tough times. 

So that is the Ten of Cups. But what happens when there is the Ten of Cups reversed?

Ten of Cups Reversed

The Ten of Cups reversed is when you are disconnected from your family even though you wish you had been closer to them. 

You can also think about dysfunctional families, where you have had to go no contact with them for the sake of your sanity. 

And this happens a lot more frequently, which is positive because who says you have to stay with toxic people only because they are your family?

I am glad there is a lot more acceptance when it comes to this situation. 

The Ten of Cups reversed can also mean that your values are not aligned with your family’s values. 

You are also struggling with your relationships. 

You struggle to get along with your family, and you don’t have friends to count on either. 

That can be challenging during hard times. That leads me to the next point. 

How To Apply The Ten of Cups To Your Life

The time to apply the Ten of Cups to your life is when you are in need of support for whatever is going on. 

Even if it means moral support for something positive such as starting a new job or working on a new project. 

Lean on those you consider your family, which does not mean blood. 

Also, if you feel you do not have many friends to lean on, consider going to support groups. 

You may also want to join some groups where you feel you can make some positive connections and where the potential of a long-lasting friendship is likely.
