The Wisdom of Release & the Courage to Let Go
By TMLD

The Ten of Wands is a mirror, one that shows us all the things we’ve been carrying: The weight of expectation. The need to be everything to everyone. The unspoken pressure we’ve placed on ourselves to just keep going. But this card is not about guilt. It’s about liberation.
The energy of the Ten of Wands, this is the final card in the suit of Wands, which tells us something important: You’ve made it far, but something must shift now. Are you still carrying everything because it’s truly aligned? Or because you’re afraid of what will happen if you let it fall?
This card often shows up when:
You’re overwhelmed but pushing through
You’ve lost joy in what used to inspire you
You’ve been saying “yes” out of guilt instead of love
Make space for the sacred, let this card be your permission slip: You don’t have to carry it all. Something can be valuable and too heavy to hold alone. The question is not “Can I keep going?” It’s “Do I want to carry this anymore?”
