The Ten of Wands is sometimes referred to as the Lord of Oppression and aligned with Saturn in Sagittarius. While Sagittarius wants freedom, expansion and possibilities, Saturn wants rules and safety and certainty which arises from fear.
This is the card of carrying large burdens, having taken them on and perhaps underestimating the scope. The Ten in this Suit comes after victories have been achieved, accolades have been received, and yet the world is still asking more of you.
It can represent a fear of success, for with success comes great responsibility and there is a question in your mind - can you sustain it? There is an exponential growth in what you feel you must take on to keep the momentum going and if you are not careful you may feel outweighed by responsibility.
The Wands are cards of fire which is energy, and this card can indicate that your sources of renewing your energy have been overtaxed and are on the wane. You need to find ways to recycle your energy so that it is ever-renewing and not used up like some fossil fuel.
There are important areas in your life where you are repressing your energy and your vitality. When you operate from a sense of fear or obligation, this increases stress and prolonged stress ultimately affects the health in a negative way. Our physiology is not built to carry the burden of continually stressful conditions, and something will give in the end unless you understand the importance of self-care.
Find sources of energy in nature to rejuvenate your depleted stores - sunshine, rain-showers, waterfalls - that is what will revive your flagging spirits.
