Ten of Wands as feelings

How to read a feelings question

A "how do they feel" question is answered by the card's emotional register, not by a yes or no. Ten of Wands describes the mood and the direction of what the other person carries — read it as a snapshot of the connection now, and let the position of the card in your spread (their feelings, their intentions, the near future) sharpen what it refers to.

Reversed, it announces relief: you finally set down burdens that weren't yours, or learn to delegate. It can also warn that you're still denying the weight you carry. Acknowledging it is the first step to releasing it.
