Card of the Day: Ten of Wands - Struggle

     The man here is being crushed and burnt as he struggles to free himself from the wands toppling about him. Fire rages and seems to destroy a city in the background. As a Ten, something is coming to an end. Outside passions and responsibilities have come to a peak that may be too much to bear. He must either find a way to cool the fires or let all burn and create something new.
     This card appears when we feel we have to much stress, strain, and responsibilities. At wits end, balancing so many things, it is time to step back and reevaluate how much energy truly needs to be extended at this time and give ourselves a break. If we push too hard, we will merely burn out, incapable of finishing what we were fighting toward in the first place. Today, retreat into the cool quiet for a little while, and let the fires cool.
