So I try to ignore THAT card's design and just stick with the usual RWS-deck meaning for it. For example, I don't like the 10 of Cups in the Anna K Tarot—it just depicts a woman with closed eyes and a Mona Lisa smile standing in a flowery meadow surrounded by 10 cups. No hint of family, home, or any context at all. There isn't a lot of difference between that image and the 9 of Pentacles, in my opinion. I think the author/designer missed the boat on that one, but the other cards in that deck are SO good, I just revert to the 'happy home' image that is standard with the 10 of Cups when her version comes up in a reading. ACTUALLY I particularly like that card. Because people CAN be happy in their own "family" of one, and all the "partner lots of kids pretty house and a dog and a cat" etc have always felt to me to deny that as a positive possibility. Singlehood can be totally happy and fulfilling. A killer card for me is Granny Jones' Justice. It looks to me as though the artist had all the cards ready to print and suddenly thought "WAIT I forgot Justice !" and scribbled it in 2 minutes.
