Ten of Wands
In my practical experience, and this differs to the conventional interpretation of the card, the Ten of Wands represents a "road-block" or "boom-gate" that stands in the way of you accomplishing a goal. The good news is that the "road-block" is only temporary and is eventually removed so that further progress towards the goal can be made.
If the card is reversed it means that the "boom-gate" is being raised so that you can continue to move forward.
An example: A client was in process of completing a bridging course that would then allow them to be accepted into university for a degree course. The bridging course was a necessary prerequisite for the degree that they dearly wanted to do.
This meaning seems to be related to the card's astrological correspondence of Saturn in Sagittarius.
Another example: A person is required to spend some time in prison in order to learn how to behave acceptably in society. If the Ten of Wands is reversed it means that they are about to be released from their confinement.
Another good example of the mundane meaning of the Ten of Wands occurred in a tarot reading I did yesterday (9-Sep-2015). The Ten of Wands was tabled and it turned out that the client was trying to sell a property she owned, but before she could sell it she had to have the plumbing fixed/replaced which is quite a big job. This is another good example of how the Ten of Wands often represents the necessary preliminary work that has to be done before we are able to move forward and accomplish the main goal.
Your comments are welcome.
