The Ten of Wands card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A figure bends under an armful of ten wands, the town they are heading for just ahead.

Upright

  • Burden
  • Overload
  • Almost home

The load blocks the view of the destination, which is the whole of the traditional reading. It asks which of the ten are actually yours to carry.

Reversed

  • Setting down
  • Refusing help
  • Collapse

Read reversed, some of it goes down — or the carrying continues past what one pair of arms can do while help stands unasked.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
