10 of Wands

10 of Wands:

The harvest has been good & lessons have been learned. Hard work has become the norm, & though not a bad thing, has become too much of a good thing. Responsibilities weigh heavily now. No one can do it like you can. No time to rest. Wrong. If you don’t stop, you’ll keep plodding along until you hate your life because you’ve lost the ability to play and you’ll lose sight of the golden future.

The 10 of Wands also suggests that old habits are very, very hard to break. We have a tendency to hold very tightly to what is familiar, sometimes so much so that we can’t see the detriment it’s causing. We can be so blinded by it we can’t even see where we’re going anymore because we’re so steeped in habit, or the daily rut. So, if you’re willing, have a look around today and see if you can find one, just one, place where you need to lay down an old habit, or a cumbersome burden. See if you can figure out a plan through which you can let it go…

10 of Wands (R):

Though the burden has been laid down, or removed, there is still a danger that it will be picked up again.  Or, that you’ll find a new burden to replace the old one.  Enjoy the release.  Breathe.
