Ten of Clubs

The Ten of Clubs is an extremely independent personality. They behave the way Queens or Kings usually carry themselves. Women with this Birth Card are characterised by a masculine cast of mind. All Tens of Clubs want complete and unlimited freedom, so as always to do what they please. The Ten of Clubs has completed a full cycle in its "quest for knowledge". It has an exceptionally strong intellect. An all-consuming thirst for new knowledge makes Tens of Clubs progressive people and usually lets them achieve success in life, but they must learn to control their mind, since it seems to have already begun to live a life of its own. Often Tens of Clubs complain that it is hard for them to fall asleep at night because of the never-silent inner dialogue. The best way to master themselves in this respect is to direct their mind to working on the necessary tasks and achieving higher goals. To be happy, the Ten of Clubs must work a lot and constantly feel occupied. The Three of Hearts as the Mars Card points to emotional restlessness and indecision in choosing a profession, which may prevent Tens of Clubs from realising their ambitions. The Three of Diamonds testifies to the same, indicating that the Ten of Clubs will experiment a lot before understanding what really satisfies them. The JACK OF SPADES as their Karma Card may prove both a blessing and a curse — depending on how the Ten of Clubs manages it. The Jack of Spades is at once the "actor's card", the "thief's card" and the "card of the spiritual adept". The Ten of Clubs has great potential for success in the arts and in the spiritual sphere, but may also use their talents dishonestly. A thirst for spiritual wisdom and the study of spiritual philosophy will help the Ten of Clubs enjoy life more fully. The highest self-realisation for them is possible through work that gives them a certain degree of freedom and a field for creative self-expression. The main task of the Ten of Clubs consists in the right choice of life path and in the ability to understand what exactly will bring them the greatest satisfaction.

Relationships of Tens of Clubs with other people

With such independence, strength and inventiveness the Ten of Clubs usually finds it hard to create a stable, long-term relationship with a partner. Characteristic examples of this are Barbra Streisand, Madonna and Shirley MacLaine. If the Ten of Clubs has realised their potential for success, perhaps it really is better for them to remain alone and come to terms with this once and for all. But, as a rule, they cannot deny their innate thirst for true love, and love has its own truth, which must be obeyed. Love always requires self-giving and spiritual closeness with another person, without which true happiness is impossible. In love one must devote oneself to a partner, and it is precisely here that the problem lies for most Tens of Clubs. Moreover, Tens of Clubs are so absorbed in concerns about their career and profession that they are hardly likely to want to sacrifice them for personal relationships. If they nevertheless manage to combine a career with a happy marriage, usually their spouses take on the household duties. Ten of Clubs women, because of the QUEEN OF CLUBS as the Saturn Card, often face emotional problems that hinder them from reaching true closeness in love. Combined with an extremely independent and wilful character, this is a serious obstacle to marriage or a long-term partnership. In addition, in personal relationships the Ten of Clubs is distinguished by emotional inconstancy. The Threes in the Mars and Pluto positions instil in them a love of variety and frequent changes. Tens of Clubs strive to get as much experience as possible in love affairs, either often switching from one partner to another, or combining several partners during one period of life. It is important to note that in personal relationships the Ten of Clubs is in principle able to achieve everything they want. The KING OF SPADES as the Venus Card says that Tens of Clubs, to a greater degree than many other cards in the deck, are able to master their emotions and get their way in love and marital relations. The success of the Ten of Clubs in marriage depends almost entirely on whether they have resolved to devote themselves for life to one partner. Otherwise no special problems are expected.

Compatibility of Tens of Clubs with other birth cards

Ten of Clubs women are usually attracted to strong, successful men; especially men of the Spade suit. Ten of Clubs men are advised to avoid women of their own suit, since heavy karmic debts bind them to them. Ten of Clubs women also find it hard to find a common language with other Club women. Heart men find relationships with Ten of Clubs women very tense, while Diamond men can draw much benefit from them.

The Ten of Clubs in search of their profession

Most Tens of Clubs are extremely restless where both love life and career ambitions are concerned. One must not forget that Tens are in many ways like Aces: an Ace is a One, and a Ten is a One and a Zero. And the Ten of Clubs is influenced by additional factors too, adding to their restlessness: the Three of Hearts as the Mars Card and the Three of Diamonds as the Pluto Card. Moreover, the Ten of Clubs itself in the Life Spread is located in the top "crown" row together with the Eight of Diamonds and the KING OF SPADES. All these cards are extremely independent by nature, and the Ten of Clubs is the most unstable among them. The influence of the Threes in the cards of the Life Spread makes the Ten of Clubs very inquisitive. They want to experience as much variety in life as possible. And the same Threes bring into their character an indecision that shows itself in the choice of profession and romantic partners. Florence Campbell, co-author of the book "Sacred Symbols of the Ancients", says that the Ten of Clubs, to a greater degree than any other card in the deck, needs a clear choice of profession. Without reaching certainty in this question, they will hardly be able to achieve success. The independence and strength of the Ten of Clubs here turn their negative side: the person becomes like a child in a sweet shop who has been offered to choose one single treat. The vast number of possibilities opening before the Ten of Clubs simply overwhelms them. Tens of Clubs who have achieved success in life share a common trait — all of them know what their life task consists of, and all of them have devoted themselves completely to its fulfilment. Among famous people with this Birth Card are Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Madonna, Kim Basinger, Luciano Pavarotti and Shirley MacLaine. To reach the summit of fame, it was enough for them to choose a definite path and not turn from it. Many times Tens of Clubs have asked me the question: "What is the best thing for me to do?" They are tormented by only this one intractable problem. Only it separates them from the rightful success destined for them by right of birth. Tens of Clubs simply divide into two types: those who managed to settle on some definite occupation and as a result achieved everything they wanted, and those who did not manage it. To those still seeking the answer to the main question of their life one can advise: simply take up any of the pursuits you like and see it through to the end. The question of choosing a profession too often turns into an excuse for idleness. If the Ten of Clubs has noticed that the work they are already engaged in brings them success, they will understand that there is no need to turn from this path. Usually such a profession is connected with creative self-expression or with the dissemination and transmission of knowledge. Moreover, in their favourite work the Ten of Clubs usually holds a leading position, since the traits of a leader are inherent in them from birth. The Ten of Clubs is one of the most creative cards in the deck. And creative people need the possibility of self-expression and variety. They hate dull monotony and routine. So some versatile profession requiring an inventive approach will suit the Ten of Clubs best. Moreover, people with this Birth Card crave new knowledge and love books.
