THE
TEN OF WANDS

The Ten of Wands represents burden, responsibility and service to others. This card often shows up when the asker feels worn down by stress and expectations placed on them by others or themselves. They have too much on their plate and are working at a speed that is unsustainable. The Ten of Wands reminds the asker to be easy on themselves and not define their self-worth by productivity or their ability to serve others.

The Ten represents the completion of a cycle; this card indicates the weight of these responsibilities will soon become lighter. However, the asker is invited to let go and be real with themselves about what they can handle, or what is not theirs to carry. Embrace self-care, relaxation and enjoy the fruits of hard work.
