In cartomancy with playing cards, the Ten of Diamonds (10♦) is the card of success.

All tens relate to the idea of goal or destination. The Ten of Diamonds tends to interpret the notion on the material plane, therefore it signifies the concrete ability to reach goals. Just as the other tens, it also connects to physical destinations, but while the Ten of Hearts represents the querent’s hometown and the Ten of Clubs represents travel, the Ten of Diamonds represents another city. Not necessarily a distant one though.

In love readings the Ten of Diamonds indicates the reaching of common goals. It is especially good if the couple has concrete projects to realize together, as it indicates success in these. It is not a card of feelings, but it does show that the people involved (or at least one of them) is serious, as high morals and values and is willing to commit.

In money and career readings, one of the possible meanings is a large sum of money. The other cards will specify what is being done with it. Otherwise, the Ten of Diamonds represents the completion of personal projects and job security. Usually it represents professions where one has other people under them, but not always. It also indicates lots of energy, so the person is certainly taking their job (or passion, hobby, etc. Depending on the question) very seriously.

Psychologically, the card means that the person can be relied upon. They are dependable and have high values, and will generally do what’s honorable. Negative cards can however negate this trait, showing someone who is shallow and unreliable.
