Mythic Tarot
For Tuesday's 5 minute Tarot Connection I pulled for us the Page of Wands.

This page is expansive, kind and generous in his time and enthusiastic cheer leading of your efforts. This page is about being the party of YES, he will try just about anything once and is encouraging you to take the world by the horns go out into the world.

I am not surprised to see 10 of Wands make an appearance in between Ostara, Passover, Easter, Vernal Equinox and so on. What seems to be a fun holiday for many often means extra burden for the caretakers of the home with extra shopping, cooking and all the trimmings that go into a holiday. 10 of Wands is the card of overwork, oppression, being burdened and difficulty with coping with the load. This is not always a bad thing, sometimes we have to bust our buns to meet a goal but if this feels like always rather than sometimes then the danger of burnout can occur.
