Ten of Wands
A heavily burdened worker trudges laboriously toward a grand city on a hill, his body completely bent double under the weight of ten massive wooden staves clustered together in his arms.
His face is hidden, and his vision is entirely obscured by the bundle of wood he carries. He has successfully harvested all the fire of his ideas, but by refusing to share the load, his achievement has morphed into an exhausting prison.
Upright
The Ten of Wands exposes the weight of unmitigated success. Upright, it indicates that you have taken on too much responsibility, over-extended your capacities, and turned your initial creative passion into a grueling, exhausting burden that blinds you to your environment.
Reversed
Reversed, you hit a point of physical or mental collapse. It demands that you immediately drop the heavy load, delegate tasks, and release unnecessary burdens before your health fractures under the weight of an unsustainable ego-trip.
