The Ten of Wands is a Minor Arcana Tarot card of the suit of wands.

Ten of Wands from the Rider–Waite tarot deck

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

edit

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.[3]

  • A person overburdened by his enterprise, is nevertheless active and on the move, but not seeing past his wands (or obligations).[citation needed]
  • A city can be observed in the background. He may be headed there, perhaps with the goal of ridding himself of this load.[citation needed]
