Ten of Wands

Upright

burden · overextension · responsibility · obligation · last stretch

The Ten of Wands figure staggers toward the finish line under a crushing load. The burden is real — but so is the destination. You have taken on too much, or inherited others' responsibilities. Endure the last stretch and set down the load when you arrive.

Reversed

release · delegation · putting down the load · burnout

The load is becoming unsustainable and something needs to be put down before you collapse. Delegation, refusal, or honest renegotiation of responsibilities is available. Burning out in service of a goal is not noble — it is unnecessary.
