The Suit of Diamonds covers material aspects of life including work, business, trade, property, money and other material possessions. The positive aspects of the Suit of Diamonds include manifestation, realization, proof and prosperity. Diamonds deal with the physical or external level of consciousness and thus mirror the outer situations of your health, finances, work, and creativity. They have to do with what we make of our outer surroundings -how we create it, shape it, transform it and grow it. On a more esoteric level, Diamonds are associated with the ego, self-esteem and self-image.

Tens represent the maximum expression of the suit – all the events taking or taken place. Tens signify the conclusion of a cycle, event, or undertaking. Because of this they represent both an end as well as the early stages of a new beginning. These cards are about what completes that turn of the wheel, getting it back to one (aces) and yet carrying with it all that it has experienced through those other numbers on its way round the circle. Tens represent both the beginning and ending of a cycle or a set of circumstances born out of the previous cycle. As a result, we close the door on a cycle while at the same time we open the door on a new one. It represents the manifestation of all creation; life, ideas, form and launches us back into the same cycle hopefully wiser.
