Ten of Wands

The Ten of Wands represents burdens, responsibility, hard work, and being overcommitted. You have taken on too much and are now feeling the weight of your obligations. This card signifies a period of intense effort and struggle, where you may feel overwhelmed and stressed. It encourages you to assess your commitments, delegate tasks if possible, and learn to say no to avoid burnout. While success is near, it comes at a significant personal cost.

When reversed, the Ten of Wands can indicate releasing burdens, delegation, or learning to manage responsibilities more effectively. You might be finding ways to lighten your load, sharing tasks, or letting go of unnecessary commitments. This card suggests a step towards better balance and self-care. It can also mean avoiding responsibility or collapsing under pressure if the burdens were not managed well initially.
