In cartomancy with playing cards, the Ten of Hearts (10♥) is the card of happiness.

All tens are connected to the notion of goal or destination. The Ten of Hearts, being in the most positive suit of the deck, is another lucky card, like the Nine. It has the power to reduce the impact of bad cards and that of improving good situations even further, by highlighting their uplifting effect on the querent. The difference with the Nine of Hearts is that the Nine represents the fulfillment of the querent’s wish, while the Ten shows happiness, regardless of whether the wish is fulfilled.

The Ten of Hearts, like all tens, can also indicate a place. In the case of the Ten of Hearts, it represents the querent’s hometown or country, depending on the scope of the question. In this respect, playing cards are like the Sibilla. Therefore, sometimes the Ten of Hearts simply shows up to indicate where the situation described by the other cards will take place.

In love readings, the Ten of Hearts indicates deep understanding and it is symbolic of unshakable bonds of affection, not necessarily to a person. The card also signifies that someone truly makes the querent happy, or vice versa. If followed by negative cards, it can indicate that the querent (or the other person) does not feel complete, or like he has finally arrived where he is supposed to be in life in terms of relationships.

Same goes for material readings. The Ten of Hearts indicates a deeply fulfilling job or work atmosphere (the card tends to describe interpersonal relationships, most of the times). There can be situations in which the Ten of Hearts shows up to mean that the person spends way too much time at work or doing something (like a hobby) and that it absorbs them completely. But this is only with mildly negative cards, when they describe the cause of a bad situation (why isn’t hubby paying attention to me?).

Psychologically, the Ten of Hearts indicates gladness, joy, happiness and recovery from depression. It shows that one is capable of finding meaning in life. Spiritually it’s connected to heaven or to higher planes of existence.

Some Combinations:

10♥ – 8♣ – 9♥ = dream job (if then 5♠ – Q♣, the male querent doesn’t spend much time with his wife)
A♥ – 10♥ = a deeply fulfilling family environment or a dream home
10♥ – 9♣ – 10♣ = traveling away from your hometown or country
10♥ – 7♣ – 6♣ = can mean feeling incomplete
2♣ – 10♥ = depending on the question it can mean going out for a walk or date in your town
