Episode 31: Ten of Wands

Published: March 7, 2018, 11 p.m.

b'Feeling tired?\\xa0 overburdened? weighted down and leaden-limbed?\\xa0 welcome to the Lord of Oppression! In the 10 of Wands, cold, dry Saturn governs the final decan of the fire sign Sagittarius.\\xa0 The embers are fading here at the northern Hemisphere\'s winter solstice; a mere pinpoint of southern light at the darkest time of the year.\\xa0 Here the associated majors, Temperance and the World or Universe, combine in an uneasy duet of aspiration and enclosure. In this episode we speak of the burden, the barrier, and the weight; the perils of "lust of result," and the 99% perspiration that goes into all creative acts.\\xa0 We find Hephaistos and Ananke, and a surfeit of ambition which can only be cured by compassion, when the 10 of Wands gives way to the Ace of Cups.\\xa0 To learn more about the suit of Wands, the world of Atziluth, the ripe transformation of the number Ten, the color schemes of the cards, and so much else, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse.\\xa0You can also shop for Fortune\'s Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more at our RedBubble shop.'
