Ten of Wands

Brief Description

The Ten of Wands symbolizes the burden of taking on too many responsibilities, often ones that belong to others. It serves as a reminder to reevaluate the loads one chooses to carry, urging to let go of what doesn't genuinely belong to oneself to avoid burnout and to maintain the ability to help oneself and others effectively.

HOLDING ON... HOLDING ON... OH, IT SEEMS I CAN'T HOLD ON

Life can load you with a variety of burdens. But it's up to you to decide which ones you'll carry on with and which ones you will let go of.

The Burden of the Poor Sorceress is Too Heavy for Her

Supporting and helping others is wonderful. We enjoy helping those in need, rescuing relatives and friends. And colleagues. And even a passerby on the street. Check if you are depleting yourself in this noble impulse. If you feel that you have become weak, perhaps you are doing too much for too many. Every day.

Think About It

The Ten of Wands almost always points to someone who is not just groaning under their own heavy burden but is also carrying what genuinely belongs to others. Maybe you are one of those who constantly tries to solve everyone's problems? You carry the difficulties of your relatives, friends, and everyone you come across? If so, it might be time to reassess the content of your shoulder bag. Find what truly doesn't belong to you and lay it down on the road. Yes, just like that. Right now. Remember, by exhausting yourself in endless attempts to do everything for everyone, you will eventually reach a point where you can't do anything for anyone, including yourself. And that won't benefit you or those you love, right?
