Today's Tarot Reading For Pisces

Ten of Wands

Ten of Wands

According to The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by A.E. Waite, the Ten of Wands is described as the following:

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.

The Ten of Wands is the tarot card of the day today. The theme with the Ten of Wands has to do with the heaviness of responsibility. This responsibility can also feel more like a burden sometimes. The Ten of Wands often points towards feeling like you're the only one carrying out this responsibility, which is what makes it feel so hard and as if it's a burden to you.

The Ten of Wands indicates that lately, you may have been feeling like you're the only one pulling all the weight. It may also seem as if the responsibility is burdening you. Just know that this is also a sign of accomplishment in disguise. Be proud of your hard work and keeping up with what you need to do to get by in life. It won't always feel like such a burden, and in the end, you'll have something to be very proud of.

The responsibility of mortgage payments may feel like a burden.

The Ten of Wands speaks of a big responsibility that you've taken on, which may sometimes begin to feel quite heavy. This is especially so when you're the only one carrying the weight of this responsibility. For example, paying off a large mortgage can sometimes be a struggle, even more so when you begin to fall behind on your mortgage payments.

However, the Ten of Wands is also a sign that whatever responsibility you've taken on will be worth it in the long run. It won't be a burden in your life forever, and when it's over and dealt with, you will be rewarded for your hard work.

If you've taken on paying for a large mortgage on your own, you could feel the weight of it begin to pile up quickly. Just keep working on making your mortgage payments, and the weight will be lifted in time.

By the time you reach the end and have it all paid off, you will have achieved a great accomplishment. You will have a home that you paid for yourself, and that's something to be incredibly proud of.

You may feel like the only one being responsible at work.

The Ten of Wands can also point towards the feeling of taking on other people's responsibilities. Although this may not be fair at all on your part, making sure that your work is done correctly and on time will come with its rewards.

If you're picking up on your coworkers' slack at work as well as taking care of your business, your employer will notice your efforts. You may need to point it out for them to first see it, but once they have an eye on what's going on, you shall be rewarded for your hard work. Perhaps you may even receive a bonus or even a promotion for picking up everyone else's slack.

The Ten of Wands wants you to know that whatever you're carrying won't feel so heavy forever. Once you get to where you're headed, you will be rewarded for your accomplishments. You can then be proud of all you have achieved, and the hard work you're doing now will all be worth it.

How to keep up with your responsibilities?

The Ten of Wands empathizes with you and knows it can be challenging when you feel like you're being burdened by your responsibilities.

Here are some tips to lighten the weight a bit for yourself:

  • Stay organized.
  • Take things one step at a time.
  • Stay productive. Even a little bit can go a long way.
