Why this step

The Ten of Cups is the full table: joy shared across a whole household, wide rather than narrow, built into a family or community instead of resting on one relationship. The reversed reading is harder to see. It is a harmony kept up for appearances while something cracks underneath, and the entry says the gap between the picture and what people actually feel deserves honest attention.
