Your Chosen Card – Ten of Wands Reversed Salem Deck
When reversed, the Ten of Wands implies an inability to delegate and an undue sense of responsibility for all aspects of a project. Others may be taking advantage of your willingness to do everything yourself. Its time that they stepped up to the plate and pulled their fair load. If you dont trust your colleagues to participate fairly, perhaps you should not be working with them. Consider the proverb, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and Jill a dull girl.’

Book Details
Reversed Cards: One of the things I notice the most about the Ten of Wands from Llewellyns Classic Tarot is that the wands are blooming. Even though right now you may not see their potential, that doesnt mean that you wont. Lets face ityou wont be able to keep that fiery energy blocked, bound, and bundled forever. I mean, you do have ten matchsticks ready to spark at any second. Think of it this way: the more you suppress your energy the bigger the explosion you will create.
Tarot for Beginners: Reversed, however, this card may actually be advising you to challenge the status quo, at least in your personal belief system. Beware of the influence of an oppressive, older person who wants you to do things their way regardless of your actual circumstances.

Reversed Cards: We first met the sixes in the Lovers card. It is there that we got a glimpse of the challenges and positive attributes of the number six. Here in the minor arcana, we see how those traits play out in everyday life. Our commitment to ourselves and others will be tested, rewarded, and challenged on a much more practical and daily way. Whether we get stuck, find ourselves needing to move, or allowing ourselves some success will depend on how the sixes show up on your cards. Relationships are part of our expansion: they test us and ground us. Here in the sixes, we see just how much.
