As we look back over the energies of the Wands, we can see that it is of constant challenge, struggle and hard-won victory.
The image in this card shows a man struggling beneath the weight of his burden - 10 Wands. He has made it along the winding path and is now on the final push to reach his destination before nightfall. The path gives way to a rocky climb - is nothing ever easy for the Wands?!
The sparky promise of the Ace of Wands is now reduced to the glowing embers of the campfire.
We can accrue the trappings of a successful life and it can be wonderful, but they are also a burden to that striving, constantly moving flame that makes the Wands so special. The task in the 10 of Wands is to recognise where you are over-wrought and over-burdened and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
What can the man in this card do?
For a start he could get off those boulders and go up the grassy slope - same journey, just makes life a little easier.
He could take some time to organise his burden so that becomes easier for him to carry.
He could set some of his burden aside?
The 10 of Wands asks:
Do you know where you are carrying too much on your own?
What are you going to do about it?
