Card 31 • wands

Ten of Wands

Brief Description

The Ten of Wands represents the burden of taking on too much responsibility and the exhaustion that comes from overcommitment. While a passionate spirit seeks to embrace life's adventures fully, wisdom lies in knowing when enough is enough. This card warns against unreasonable multitasking that leads to burnout and prevents any task from being done well. It advises delegation and avoiding the martyr complex that comes from shouldering excessive burdens.

Meaning

The passionate spirit strives to fully embrace life's adventures with all their possibilities and challenges. But a wise person knows when too much has been taken on. No one should take on such a quantity of tasks and projects, because none of them can be executed well. Worse still, you burden yourself with constant restlessness when your creative ambitions strive to explore new worlds. Delegate some of your responsibilities; don't make yourself a martyr.

Keywords

burden becomes oppressive, unreasonable multitasking, burnout, exhaustion.

Visual Description

A robed figure carries a tight bundle of ten long wooden wands, holding them close to the chest as they lean forward under the weight. Pale lilies and tall grasses grow around their feet, and orange‑toned trees rise behind them against a blue and warm sky. The image is framed by an ornate vine-and-leaf border and the numeral "10" appears at the top.
