Ten of Wands
Ten of Wands is a Minor Arcana Tarot card of the Suit of Wands.
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games[1].
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2].
Divination usage
Most often, the Ten of Wands card carries the meaning of overload and burdening situations where too much responsibility has been taken on by the subject.
Rider-Waite symbolism
- A person overburdened by his enterprise, is nevertheless active and on the move, but not seeing past his wands (or obligations).
- A city can be observed in the background. He may be headed there, perhaps with the goal of ridding himself of this load.
