Ten of Cups
water
this is the picture you wanted. it's allowed to be enough.
upright — what she sees
this is the picture you wanted. it's allowed to be enough. drawn upright, ten of cups speaks of fulfillment, home, the rainbow. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — the rainbow made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
the family portrait has a hairline crack. reversed, the card turns inward — broken home, ideal cracked. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, ten of cups is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
