Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - 10 Of Wands
Introduction: When the 10 of Wands appears, you may feel as though you are carrying a very heavy burden. You may want to look hard at this and see if there are any ways that you might"lighten your load either literally or figuratively. If you look carefully you may find that part of the burden you are carrying emotionally actually belongs to someone else. It will be important for you to pace yourself now. Don't try to do too much.
General: Sometimes the 10 of Wands indicates that you have been too successful and would be well-served by scaling back. You are probably tired, you've been working very hard, personally and professionally, and could use a break. Give yourself one.
Work: Your workload may be unrealistically heavy now. Don't hesitate to ask for help or ask questions, and if your supervisors or a colleague comes to you with a request for something new on top of your already incredibly overflowing plate, ask them which thing you should not do to make room to do the new thing? If you are looking for a position without much success, do not lose heart. Keep trying, and you cannot fail.
Love: The appearance of the 10 usually signifies a hard place in a relationship. It can be that your beloved is undergoing a rough time that has nothing to do with your relationship but needs your support. Most often, however, it indicates that there is something in the relationship which needs to be examined, looked at, and considered. You will not gain by pretending that there are no problems. If you're in the market for love, do not despair. Your time will eventually come, but perhaps now is a good time to halt your search and just take some time for rest and reflection.
Finances: You are probably feeling over-burdened and stressed about money when this card appears in the context of a financial question. You will be best served by looking at your situation calmly and dispassionately, and making a plan. A wise man said "expect the best, but plan for the worst." You can do both things now. Avoiding the problems will not make them disappear. Be creative in your problem-solving and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
Health: Stress may have taken a serious toll on your body, but there are things that you can do to re-build. First of all, calm down. Secondly, be sure that you are getting adequate rest and sleep. Then consider supplementation if you need it; stress is particularly bad about depleting the vitamins in your body. Massage and vacation can work wonders now. If fatigue and sleeplessness and physical problems have persisted, get treatment - even if you have no money and no health insurance, there is help available to you. Find it.
Spirituality: Don't be afraid to reach out for assistance if you need it. But you also have to learn when enough is enough, and when it is time to get out from under your burdens. The major theme here is to take good care of yourself, in every way, as to do so is especially critical now.
