Ten of Wands

Card Image
Accomplishment Responsibility Burden

The Ten of Wands reveals the weight of success, where the burden of responsibility has become almost too heavy to bear. This card represents the paradox of achievement - the more we accomplish, the more we are expected to carry. The Ten of Wands teaches us that success comes with its own challenges, that the ability to delegate and share responsibility is a mark of true leadership, and that sometimes we must learn to let go of some of our burdens in order to continue moving forward. It is the card of the overachiever who has taken on too much, and the call to find balance between ambition and well-being.
