10 of Wands

The Ten of Wands stands for the end point of a sequence of action. The strength gathered becomes large enough to raise the question of how to manage it.

What the card shows

Ten staves weave into a tight lattice, two shafts standing upright in the frame. The drawing fills the whole space of the card, with no gap to breathe it.

Its light

A load shared well becomes a real capacity: you carry heavy projects when the weight is divided and each person takes their own bundle.

Its shadow

When the card goes bad, the load is no longer discussed: you take the file on as well out of habit or guilt. Tiredness decides in your place.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. The ten closes the count of the wands; beyond it, Marseille tradition moves on to the court figures: page, knight, queen and king.

What this card invites you to do

Take inventory of what you carry and note what can pass to other hands. Knowing how does not oblige you to do it alone: the load is shared without the direction changing.

A card does not decide for you.
It shows you where to look.
