Show The 10 of Wands marks the completion of one, or many, cycles within the element of Fire and the beginning of a new cycle. The element of Fire, represented by the Suit of Wands, symbolises energy, passion and drive. It is the fire that burns in the home and within the engines of our transport and industry. The 10 of Wands is a collection, or a gathering together, of projects and jobs in the home or the work place for the purpose of moving ahead on something new. Smaller projects or plans maybe the individual blocks of a much larger and more ambitious project which is what the 10 of Wands symbolises. The 10s in tarot tend to include more than one person unlike the solitary natured 9s and this card's appearance is more likely to suggest a collective effort rather than an individual one. Numerology reduces 10 to a 1 (1+0=1) and this connects Tarot's 10s to its Aces. The difference being that the Ace symbolises something entirely new without any prior existence. The 10 also has the symbology of something new but built upon one or more previous cycles. The artist of the the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck, Pamela C. Smith, has taken her inspiration for the 10 of Wands from oldest known 78 card Tarot deck's 10 Of Swords. The Sola Busca Tarot depicts a man placing 10 swords in a bag attached to a manger ring on a wall, his body is in the same position with his head down. In 1907, two years prior to the publication of the RWS deck, the British Museum received photographs of the complete Sola Busca tarot deck which they put on display in London where Waite and Smith were based. Many details from this old deck have been re-used in the RWS, the 3 Of Swords being almost identical. This symbolic theme of the collectiveness of the number 10 was passed over for the RWS 10 of Swords in favour of the 10 of Wands but it is worth remembering these alternative interpretations when intuitively feeling for the correct meaning and interpretation of either of these cards. The image depicted in the RWS 10 of Wands often gives an initial impression of a man struggling to pick up and carry 10 long sticks which leads to the common interpretation of being overburdened or having taken on too many projects at the same time. The 10 of Wands, 10 of Rods or 10 of Batons, is a card of heavy burdens, long term ambitions and large projects. The element here is Fire which relates to energy, drive, home, community and work. The number 10 in numerology, like the 1, is symbolic of something new but different because it is built upon something else, something that already exists. © Phuture Me Ltd 2010-2019. All rights reserved. THE PICTORIAL KEY TO THE TAROT By Arthur Edward Waite (1911) A man oppressed by the weight of the ten staves which he is carrying. Divinatory Meanings: A card of many significances, and some of the readings cannot be harmonized. I set aside that which connects it with honour and good faith. The chief meaning is oppression simply, but it is also fortune, gain, any kind of success, and then it is the oppression of these things. It is also a card of false-seeming, disguise, perfidy. The place which the figure is approaching may suffer from the rods that he carries. Success is stultified if the Nine of Swords follows, and if it is a question of a lawsuit, there will be certain loss. Reversed: Contrarieties, difficulties, intrigues, and their analogies.

I started to think about this card today in relation to endings . I can see how the tens of the other suits can refer to something completed ...but the wands card feels a little different . I had always assumed that the guy carrying the sticks was going to do something with them ...so futher work etc needed on his part , not really a completion . I guess this may relate back to the energy
of the suit . The fire is the last to die out ?!

Remember that Wands are passions. When a passion becomes a burden and/or there's so many parts to it that you have to break up your energy into several wands
rather than concentrate it into one....it's over. Think about someone's passion, like baking cupcakes. They have so much fun and energy baking them up. They start a cupcake business, and put all that energy into it and it does great. But what happens when they've got ten businesses, and they have to manage all? They have to pay the bills, deal with employees, suppliers, advertising, etc. Suddenly, they run out of energy. And their passion is no longer a passion, it's a chore. One hot
fire burning warms you. Separate that fire into a lot of little flames, each in their own room, and they not only can't warm those rooms, they can barely illuminate them. That's why 10/Wands is the "end" of what Wands can do. Because energy divided into too many parts means energy ended. It might as well have been put out.

It is like in a cycle, the person tries to do his very best, then comes a point of break-down, but the typical 10w-person starts to work hard again very soon after the recovery. It is nearly impossible to carry 10 wands at the same time and the person could learn to ask others for help, or he or she could carry 5 wands and then come back and carry the next 5 wands.
I think it is always tricky finding a common thread belonging to each number and seeing how it runs through each of the suites - I can often see it through 3 of the suites and then I really have to twist my brain to see the same thread through a different lens in the 4th suite. To me wands is the most impermanent of all the suites - the least likely to settle down and stay
put, the most likely to get up and leave - and do they ever finish anything?

Like Thirteen says, the energy driving this man is very much waning and it is this element that is so important when this card comes up. That is not to say, that the numerology of this card doesn't apply anyway, an ending may be close by, but in the mean time, it would be important to pick up on how this person is carrying
their load. It is also worth mentioning that we all react very differently with the same amount of energy, so this is unique and personal to the querent, therefore how they are viewing their situation, is just that, their own personal view and how they are managing to deal with it. Its all about how to best manage the lack of energy or drive for that final push. Eddie
Have you ever had a fire going and dumped a ton of wood on top and instead of a blazing bonfire, all you get lots of smoke and steam and the fire goes out? That's 10 Wands, too much of a good thing overwhelms & smothers the fire.
For me, the 10's indicate the most you can have of something...as there is no number higher than the 10's in the Minors. Wands are about creating something or the desire to create something. Put it all together and the 10 of Wands for me indicates the desire to creaet the most that you can possibly create in (of) the situation. Certainly at times that might involve some hard work to get there. But the focus, for me, is on the desire to create that that leads you to be willing to work so hard to get there (not on the actual work itself). If you know what I mean.  OR in the sense that the Wands sometimes refer to passion...it could indicate the most passion possible to have in the situation...that the person is passionate about the situation as they could possibly be, or sometimes even physical passion...
