Ten of Wands
The Card
A figure walks hunched forward, barely visible beneath the ten wands they carry. A town is just ahead. They are almost there. But the question the card raises: does all of this actually need to be carried by one person?
Symbolism
The figure cannot see the path — the wands obscure vision. This is the problem of overcommitment: the goal is close but the burden prevents clear sight. The nearby village is both reward and reminder that help was available all along.
Carrying more than you should. A figure bends under the weight of ten wands, barely able to see the village just ahead. The destination is so close. The burden is real. Consider what can be set down.
Release of burden, delegating, putting down what doesn't belong to you, collapse under weight.
