Сильный человек тащит целую охапку Жезлов, держа их прямо перед собой: из-за них он не видит дороги. Эта карта означает человека, взявшего на себя слишком много — ответственность, которая ему не по силам, или обязательства, которых не в состоянии выполнить. Вместо того, чтобы шагать дальше с этой ношей, ему нужно остановиться, сбросить хотя бы часть ее и оглядеться: куда он зашел и стоит ли тащить весь этот груз дальше?

Эта карта часто выпадает бизнесменам или «трудоголикам», работающим по 25 часов в сутки. Тогда она предупреждает, что человек немедленно должен дать себе отдых, иначе его ожидает расстройство здоровья или неудача во всех делах. Как прогноз, она означает, что за планируемое дело лучше не браться, потому что сейчас оно «неподъемно».

В перевернутом виде указывает, что неудача уже произошла, человек «надорвался» и поплатился за это здоровьем или удачей.

 (Е. Колесов «Азбука таро»)

Другие названия аркана: десятка посохов, десятка скипетров.

ОПИСАНИЕ: Молодой человек сжимает тяжелую связку из де­сяти цветущих жезлов. Наклонившись вперед, он упорно шага­ет к своему расположенному вдалеке дому. Число Десять сим­волизирует совершенство через завершение. Элемент: Огонь.

ОБЪЯСНЕНИЕ: Ваша решимость и решительность окупятся, поскольку вы заложили фундамент (основу) для следующего шага в вашем жизненном путешествии, однако чувствуете, что ваш нынешний груз для вас тяжел — физически или эмоцио­нально. Вы испытываете большое давление и ощущаете мно­жество изменений, которые достигли критической стадии. Число Десять символизирует конец и начало, поэтому это мо­жет быть заключительной фазой вашего прошлого цикла и ве­роятностью появления новых, свежих возможностей. Навер­ное, вы должны спросить себя, нравится ли вам нести на себе груз тяжелой ответс­твенности или незыблемых убеждений. Возможно, это идеальное время для того, чтобы принять помощь и совет других людей, чьи мнения вы цените.

ЗНАЧЕНИЕ ПЕРЕВЕРНУТОЙ КАРТЫ: Ваши таланты и навыки используются непра­вильно. Вы применяете свою силу и творческую энергию для эгоистических целей и склонны несправедливо перекладывать груз ответственности на других людей.

УРОК ПО САМОРАЗВИТИЮ: Независимо от бремени, которое вы в одиночку несе­те по жизни, все же наступают времена, когда полезно обратиться за советом и по­мощью к другим людям, которым вы доверяете. Когда ваши личные трудности ка­жутся вам непосильными, проведите переоценку своей жизни, для того чтобы убе­диться в том, что вы по-прежнему находитесь на правильном пути.

( Н. Дрюри «Таро. Пошаговое руководство по изучению» )

Десятка Жезлов — это карта мрачного настроения, показывающая, что мы ожидали слишком многого, а теперь все наши радужные перспективы развеялись, как дым. Может быть, мы сами где-то плохо сработали и теперь расхлебываем. Иногда эта карта означает также, что на пути своего развития мы перескочили через несколько ступеней сразу и теперь чувствуем себя первоклассниками, попавшими сразу в пятый класс; новые непонятные задачи висят тяжелым жерновом на шее. Так что вполне возможно, что сейчас мы с ними опозоримся. Тут нужно время, чтобы привыкнуть, время и терпение, и тогда и задачи перестанут казаться непонятными, и мрачное настроение пройдет, и мы займем, наконец, подобающее нам место.

WORK: Stress, overload or too much responsibility that we have received at work. Often this is the result of a rapid rise, which forced us to take on responsibilities that we had no idea about until now. It is important to concentrate (maybe with the help of meditation), gather strength so that the necessary time passes and we get into the right track without too many losses. This card can also mean «corvee», that is, unloved work that we have to do for some time, or a long search for work through an employment agency, or difficult trials that cause us a feeling of horror. It is important to get rid of the unnecessary burden that has accumulated over the past years in time.

CONSCIOUSNESS: The Ten of Wands shows that we are tormented by doubts and thoughts about difficult problems, and we do not see a way out of them. We are ruled by fatigue, overwork, gloomy mood. The best way to overcome this bad streak is to abstract yourself from it, take a break, go on a long-desired vacation, be it a vacation at the dacha, an expensive trip to the sea or a pilgrimage to some famous monastery.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: Gloom, complete gloom. Most likely, this card shows that you have been suffering from loneliness for a long time and do not see a way out of this situation. Or that you do have a partner, but there are such problems with him that you again do not see a way out. During such a period, it is better to give yourself a break, take a vacation, go away — or, if this is impossible, carefully monitor yourself so as not to let yourself break down and destroy what is still good in your relationship.

Tens in Tarot

The number «ten» is associated with the Wheel of Fortune, the planet Pluto, which rules Scorpio and the eighth house. Pluto is the planet of death, birth and transformation; in a cycle, a period of growth and decline is followed by a new period of growth. Like the Wheel of Fortune in the Major Arcana, Pluto speaks of the great changes that fate has in store.

Despite the weight of your burden, you still have the strength to complete the task. You are driven by the desire to succeed and achieve your goals at any cost. However, you must understand that you cannot do everything yourself. Learn to distribute responsibilities and do not take on more than you should.

You must clearly know your limits. You are so absorbed in your work right now that you do not yet realize the full weight of the burden you have taken on. Excessive focus on your career can negatively affect other aspects of your life. The earth will turn without you, but overwork can lead to serious health problems, and this can be especially dangerous for your back, heart, muscular system and musculoskeletal system.
