Upright Ten Of Wands
The Ten of Wands signifies that you are carrying on additional responsibility, a larger workload. Even though it is pulling you down and making things harder for you, you realize it is only temporary, so you are ready to put in the hard effort now to fulfill your goal and pick the awards later.
In some cases, the Ten of Wands shows up when you are unintentionally taking on additional responsibility and finding yourself feeling burdened and burnt out. The Ten of Wands invites you to pause and observe your current lifestyle. Evaluate which tasks are more important, particularly connected to your goals.
Number Ten in Tarot deck symbolizes the completion of a cycle, and with the Ten of Wands, the end is in view! You have been forcing yourself to your limits and working very hard towards your purpose. Now, you are taking those last steps on the path to realizing your dreams.
The Ten of Wands can also note that even with the completion of your goal, some important responsibilities appear. When you reach a point of fulfillment, you become fully aware that you must now carry on with the responsibilities you have set out for yourself. The problem is, however, that these responsibilities may grow too much to sustain. The inspiration that came with the original vision disappears. Thus, it is essential to let go of or transfer some of your duties to free you up to still enjoy life.
Reversed Ten Of Wands
When the Reversed Ten of Wands shows up in a Tarot reading, it is often a hint that you are attempting to do too much by yourself. In your attempt, you have found yourself fighting under the weight of it all. Share the work – you don’t have to do it alone. Otherwise, you’ll burn yourself out.
Sometimes, the reversed Ten of Wands points that you are holding on to this weight when you do not need to do so. If you are feeling pulled down by your current situation, look at ways you might ease the pressure. On the positive meaning, if you are going through a difficult time, then the reversed Ten of Wands encourages you that this time will soon pass.
You may also be actively recognizing those activities that do not bring you any advantage in your life, and you are freeing yourself from these extra responsibilities. Consider going through a purging period, removing out old clothes and exchanging old furniture, to simplify your life. You will profit from better organization and enjoy the grace that comes with such freedom.
