Are you burdened by responsibilities and feeling overwhelmed, or are you allowing yourself to release that which no longer serves you?

Are you tired of carrying this heavy load?

The Ten of Wands in reversed position hints that you are feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities you are carrying. It’s time to acknowledge that you don’t have to do it all by yourself. You’ve taken on too much, and it’s time to ask for help. Delegate tasks or let them go entirely.

You cannot keep up this pace without consequences.

Look at the big picture and ask yourself what is really necessary.

Is it all a priority, or could you let go of some responsibilities which no longer serve you? Avoid people-pleasing and ask yourself if you are taking on too much to avoid disappointing others.

Release the burden of responsibility that isn’t rightfully yours.

At first, it may feel uncomfortable to give up control. But recognize that by doing so, you allow space for new experiences and growth. Like the weight of ten heavy wands being lifted off your shoulders, you’re allowing yourself to breathe again.

When the Ten of Wands is reversed, it is time to release the burdens you have been carrying and find a lighter path forward

You may be holding onto outdated beliefs, or people that no longer serve you.

Now is the time to release these burdens and find a freer, more spacious path forward.

But how do you do that? Sometimes, it is as simple as being honest with yourself about what you are carrying.

Ask yourself, ‘What are the burdens that I am carrying right now?’ Write them down, and then ask yourself which ones no longer serve you.

Sometimes, we carry burdens that we don’t even recognize, until we take the time to name them.

Once you have identified the burdens, it is time to release them.

Here, patience and persistence are required.

Releasing burdens is like unclenching a fist–it can be painful and takes time, but it’s worth the effort. Take small steps to release each burden, and don’t be hard on yourself if it takes longer than you expect.

Remember, it is always better to release something that no longer serves you than to hold onto it out of fear.

Finally, as you release your burdens, make sure to create a vision of what you want in your life.

Ask yourself, ‘What kind of path do I want to create for myself, once I release these burdens?’ Write down this vision, and let it guide you forward.

Remember, the reversed Ten of Wands is an invitation to create a lighter, more joyful path forward–one step at a time.
