Ten of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Ten of Wands stands for a state in which responsibilities have piled up all at once and it has become hard to hold on to what you have achieved. Just as much as finishing the work, dividing it among others and bringing it to a close is needed. The wish to carry it alone to the end can last only within a range you can bear.

Reversed, it can be a process of setting a load down, or a reaction of trying to avoid a responsibility you ought to carry. When it is concrete what goes to whom, easing the burden becomes a real change. Setting a load down and avoiding all responsibility are different things.

The figure hugging ten staffs at once and heading toward the town shows a state in which the goal is near but the load blocks the view ahead.

Relationships

Upright Check whether the work needed to keep a relationship going is piled on one side only. If you are worn out from accommodating everything in a romance, talk with your partner about the parts to share.

Reversed Do not carry the responsibility of keeping the relationship going alone, and decide the share the two of you will take. If you have set down what only one of you was striving for in the romance, watch how your partner responds.

Work and study

Upright Divide repeating tasks and make the completion standard of each clearly within the team. If the work you hold keeps only growing, set priorities and adjust them together with your manager.

Reversed Write separately the work you can delegate and the work you must do yourself. So that you do not seem to be dodging responsibility at the company, give the reason and the schedule when you hand things off.

Money and daily life

Upright Organize fixed costs and debt burdens into a table so you can see them at a glance. If the costs of family or others you are responsible for have piled on one person, discuss how to split them.

Reversed Recheck the priorities of the costs you keep bearing. Find subscriptions or fixed expenses you can let go and set the date you will actually cancel them.

Upright Sort out one task to hand off or end, together with what you will pass along. Write down everything you currently hold and mark only what you must do yourself. If you compare the parts of your current responsibility that you must do yourself with those you can hand off, a way to keep toward your goal appears without carrying the whole load.

Reversed Decide one responsibility to reduce or share and actually agree on it. Write down who takes over the task you set down, down to the name and the date. If you agree concretely on the responsibility to reduce or share and check that it has really changed, you can adjust the pattern of going back to the same burden after a short rest.

The Ten of Wands is the weight of taking on too much alone, and the Three of Pentacles is dividing roles and combining everyone’s skills to finish together. Together they look for a way to share the work by agreeing who does what and to what standard, rather than simply doing less.
