Ten of Diamonds

This card is located at the very centre of the Life Spread. It is protected on all sides by the blessing of Jupiter. In principle it is considered the card of material abundance, although far from all Tens of Diamonds realise their potential in this area. But all of them are insured against serious financial losses, and all of them to a certain degree are accompanied by luck to reach the heights of success. The Ten of Diamonds should devote themselves to business, preferably their own. They are able to manage a business of practically any scale superbly. Many Tens of Diamonds receive a large fortune by inheritance or from a wealthy spouse. They love to be at the centre of attention, which is explained by the position of this Birth Card at the centre of the Life Spread. One might think that with such favour of fate towards Tens of Diamonds they should be very generous people. But this is not always true. Many of them simply devote themselves to getting money and sometimes even become indifferent to everything else. However, some Tens of Diamonds listen to the advice of their Karma Card — the Queen of Clubs, which is connected with intuition, service to other people, knowledge and the dedication of their talents and abilities to the good of humanity. All Tens face the danger of getting too carried away with the matters relating to their suit. In the case of the Ten of Diamonds this is money. Some Tens of Diamonds are extremely selfish. Thanks to their mind and creative abilities they always prosper in any undertaking. Usually they direct their talents into the area of business and finance, and there is no enterprise they could not cope with. But if the Ten of Diamonds pays attention to the spiritual sphere, in the later years of life they will be able to devote themselves to widening their horizons and enlightening their spirit, instead of getting mired in doubts and fears. In the second half of life many Tens of Diamonds turn to creative self-expression and achieve great success in this field.

Relationships of Tens of Diamonds with other people

The Ten of Diamonds is characterised by a strong desire for love. But karma from past incarnations weighs on them, which they will have to work off through a difficult divorce or the break-up of a partnership. This karma is connected with the fact that in a previous life they treated their partners unfairly, not answering their love with full sincerity. In the present incarnation they may encounter the same behaviour from a partner, who often turns out to be the reincarnation of the very same person the Ten of Diamonds treated badly in a past life. Tens of Diamonds want love, so usually they themselves take the first step in personal relationships. But before entering a successful marriage they must tame their inherent emotional restlessness. Often they get into situations where they have to sacrifice their own needs for the sake of love or helping a loved one. Having coped with this problem, Tens of Diamonds find that it benefits their partnership. Ten of Diamonds women should not put love relationships above their work and career, except in those rare cases when the partner is exceptionally compatible with them. In love and married life many difficulties always lie in wait for them. This is connected with the Five of Hearts as the Saturn Card and with the fact that the Personality Card of Ten of Diamonds women is the Queen of Diamonds, notorious for her indecision in romantic affairs.

Compatibility of Tens of Diamonds with other birth cards

All Tens of Diamonds get on well with Hearts, although here too they are not insured against certain problems. Tens of Diamonds of both sexes can draw much benefit from contact with women of their own suit, especially in the sphere of business life. Ten of Diamonds women are extremely compatible with most Club men.

The Ten of Diamonds in search of love

The Ten of Diamonds can be both extremely generous and kind to people, and very selfish and self-absorbed. Being at the very centre of the Life Spread, they may be confident that the world revolves around them and that they deserve constant universal attention. Moreover, Tens of Diamonds may be convinced that fate protects them from all troubles and that they have nothing to worry about. They consider themselves extremely important, unique and inimitable persons. Their Venus Card is the Ace of Hearts, symbolising the process of self-knowledge. The wish to be loved leads Tens of Diamonds to a conflict between self-giving and absorbing the attention of other people. In close relationships one often has to make compromises and listen to the needs of the partner. And the Ten of Diamonds may regard these compromises as an infringement of their rights and unnecessary sacrifices. Many Tens of Diamonds sooner or later reach a line in life after which they have to choose to whom to devote their love: themselves or their partner. The Five of Hearts as the Saturn Card guarantees that if such a choice faces them, it will prove very difficult. Difficult love karma often dooms the Ten of Diamonds to a painful break-up of relationships. From the outside in such situations it may seem that the partner of the Ten of Diamonds is acting cruelly and unfairly; but a deeper analysis of the relationship and events will show that in reality all the responsibility lies with the Ten of Diamonds themselves. On one level the Five of Hearts symbolises personal freedom. For the Ten of Diamonds the price of this freedom is high, since in their Life Spread the Five of Hearts is in the Saturn position — the position of karmic debts. If the Ten of Diamonds has passed this test, henceforth they will hardly put their freedom at risk, preferring always to leave themselves a way of retreat. The Mars Card of the Ten of Diamonds is another Ace — the Ace of Diamonds. These two Aces in the Life Spread can make them egocentric, overly practical and selfish. But in reality these character traits are evidence of intense attempts at self-knowledge. The Ten of Diamonds inevitably must give themselves much attention, otherwise they will never understand what the meaning of their life is. Those around them may consider this quality selfishness, but for the Ten of Diamonds it is the only possible way of life. Tens of Diamonds reach the summit of success when they look inside themselves in search of answers to the main questions of their life. The first Karma Card of the Ten of Diamonds, the Queen of Clubs, says that the highest life goal of people with this Birth Card does not come down to accumulating money and material values. This goal includes a mission of love — passing their knowledge on to other people and preaching the truth. Those Tens of Diamonds who have discovered this hidden side of their nature can reach true heights of personal and professional development.
