Classic American cartomancy: Jealousy; tears
Ten of Spades—Upright.
The general signification of this card is jealousy, particularly when accompanied by the knave of clubs, which denotes that the consultant, either male or female, is jealous of his or her sweetheart to such a degree that their friendly relations are in danger of being broken off, which will assuredly be the case, if the nine of spades should likewise appear in the oracle.
The other primary signification of this card is tears, whence we derive a series of secondary significations, as:
Sighs; groans; weeping; complaints; lamentations; griefs; sadness; heart-sickness; affliction; mental agony.
Ten of Spades—Reversed.
This card, emerging reversed, has, for a general signification, a loss, either moral or physical, as the surrounding cards designate. Thus, with the nine of hearts intervening between the consultant and this card, it announces that he or she will lose a situation or employment. When it comes preceded by the ten of clubs, it betokens the loss of money or valuables. Should the consultant be an unmarried female, and this card comes out reversed near to a knave, likewise reversed, it foretells the ruin of her reputation through calumny. But if in place of one of the knaves the seven of clubs should appear, the loss of her character will be brought about through some indiscretion.
Another primary signification of this is the evening, as a designation of points of time; still this general term of night has given rise to the application of important secondary significations, of which the sense can be taken from the synonyms:
Shades; obscurely; nocturnal; mysterious; secret; masked; concealed; undiscovered; clandestine; occult; veiled; allegorical; hidden meaning; in secrecy; obscure hints; double meaning; on the sly; to conceal from sight; nocturnal meetings.
