Through the five lenses
The same card angles differently depending on what you bring to it.
Ten of Wands steps forward here. The load is heavy because you said yes to all of it. Carry it the last stretch, then set down what was never yours. Wands carry the fire line of the deck: appetite, initiative, and the spark that gets a real thing started. Their questions are about energy — where yours goes, what feeds it, and which effort genuinely deserves the match this week. Tens complete the suit's story: full weight, full harvest, and the turn toward whatever begins after a genuine completion. Take it as a lens for the days ahead — hold it up to whatever is currently asking the most of you. Pick the smallest true version of this and do it before the weekend.
