Ten of Wands upright
A figure carries ten wands stacked in his arms, the bundle obscuring his view. The house is close but the load is unsustainable.
Decide what to put down. The Ten of Wands honours the load you've earned, but the next stretch isn't carryable like this. Delegate, drop, or share.
Ten of Wands reversed
Reversed, you're starting to delegate - or starting to collapse. Either way, the all-by-yourself pattern is breaking.
