Ten of Wands Relation with Astrology

Ten of Wands Zodiac sign:
The Zodiac sign associated with Ten of Wands is Sagittarius.

Saturn | The sun as a symbol of heaviness in the soul and gloomy mood or Saturn in the 11th house as an image of hopelessness.
Ten of Wands signifies Oppression
Ten of Wands stands for The third decade of Sagittarius from December 11 to 21.
The Tenth and First Houses and their associated planets.

The third decade of Sagittarius, governed by the planet of completeness, Saturn, lays the foundation for the transformation of energy into material results and describes its manifestations on the earth plane.

The distracted worldview and exalted spirituality of the previous decade here become an ideology and a ritual that creates the idea of support.

For representatives of this decade, more than for the previous ones, it is important to translate the idea into reality, and therefore important are the social position and authority that can protect the idea in the world.

But … an idea at this level – can turn into a dogma.

This decade is interpreted as a stopped development: further movement is suppressed, and a person takes a conservative position until then, until he receives material satisfaction from the implementation of the intended. This is a desire to complete and eliminate everything.

The task of this decade is to use what has been achieved for a new movement. The desired goal obscures the world from a person. therefore, the materialistic position stops the expansion of thought and authority affirms comprehended truths in life.

A TEN of wands ends the fiery stage of the affirmation of one’s material-social “I”, and a person turns to his inner world, passing to the stage of soul development – comprehension of the sensual sphere of the elements of water.

If you climbed to the top step of the staff of the TEN, you will have a strength test. In the end, every test comes from God: is your position really in harmony with “your heaven”? Prove it!

Ten of Wands Symbolism (Raider Waite)

The Ten of Wands shows us in his figure a man carrying with effort a heavy load of logs or long sticks.

However, its pace is firm and it seems to be heading successfully to a certain place in the city, which is shown in the background, to place its product and obtain a profit for it.

But at the same time, in another look , he may not succeed, as he seems to be exhausted and faltering from the weight he carries and the effort, and he may not be able to get there.

Ten of Wands is a card of gloomy mood, showing that we expected too much, and now all our bright prospects vanished like smoke. Maybe we ourselves worked poorly somewhere and now we’ll disentangle. Sometimes this card also means that on the way of our development we jumped through several steps at once and now we feel like first-graders, who fell into fifth grade at once; new obscure tasks hang with a heavy millstone on the neck. So it’s quite possible that we’ll be dishonored now. It takes time to get used to it, time and patience, and then the tasks will cease to seem incomprehensible, and the gloomy mood will pass, and we will finally take our place.
