When this card is upright in this position, trust the surface reading first; depth is for the surrounding cards.

It helps to remember what this card is not. Ten of Cups is not a verdict about worth; it is a description of feeling in motion. The full circle of feeling — held lightly, that theme informs without imprisoning. The cards describe weather; you still choose the clothing.
