Ten of Wands
Ten of Wands depicts an onerous burden that is heavy and close to the limit of what you can bear, emphasizing strain and near-exhaustion. It suggests you are close to reaching a goal or 'home colony' but warns that arrival may not bring rest and could simply mean taking on new obligations. The card invites you to consider why you carry this burden and to examine who truly benefits from your efforts. It urges discernment about releasing or redistributing responsibilities to avoid ongoing overwhelm.

Meaning
There is no denying the burden you carry. It's heavy and almost at the limit of what you can bear, but you are so close to the home colony. Will rest await when you get there, or, like a drone, will you simply find new burdens to carry? Consider why you carry this burden and who really benefits from it.
Visual Description
A procession of ants traverses a flat, earthy ground carrying large yellow burdens on their backs. In the center is a bordered inset showing a hunched man seen from behind, lugging a bundle of ten long wands toward the horizon. Tall, dark grasses or reeds rise on the right against a pale blue sky, and oversized green leaves hang down from the top left. The foreground shows textured soil and the ants' long spindly legs in motion.
