Ten of Wands
A man carries all ten wands at once in a bear hug, bent forward under the awkward load, his face buried in the bundle. The town he is hauling them toward is visible — and not far.
★ Upright
The Ten of Wands is success converted into burden — every project said yes to, every duty absorbed, the whole harvest carried in one trip. Upright, it acknowledges the load is legitimate and the destination near, while asking the obvious: why are you carrying all ten alone? Delegate or drop a few; oppression by achievement is still oppression.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the bundle shifts: burdens finally shared or set down — or a collapse pending because they weren't. It can also expose carried weight that was never yours. Put the wands down, count them, and pick back up only what has your name on it.
