However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the 10 Of Wands card and 3 Of Swords card together in particular.

The 10 Of Wands card and 3 Of Swords have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords mean together?

When you combine the 10 Of Wands tarot card and the 3 of Swords tarot card, it can mean that you are feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Your burdens and responsibilities are piling up, and that can cause feelings of stress and heartache. Perhaps, you feel like you can’t cope anymore, or you may have suffered a heartbreaking loss or painful divorce. You may even have gone through surgery, or you’re dealing with depression. Whatever you are going through, it is clear that the 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords are telling you that it is time to take a break and give yourself some space to breathe.

The meaning may differ depending on what you are asking. Here are some common questions and their possible meanings

What does 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords mean together for your love life?

When The 10 Of Wands and The 3 Of Swords come together in a reading, they indicate a period of intense difficulty in your love life. As the 10 of Wands signifies a sense of being overwhelmed and exhausted by the burden of responsibility, this difficulty may be caused by a feeling of being overwhelmed and having too many demands on your attention. This can be either due to an overload of stress or to a feeling that you are being taken advantage of and having to bear too much of the burden in the relationship.

On the other hand, The 3 Of Swords representing heartbreak, divorce and loss can be a sign that a difficult period of difficulty has already passed. This can be a sign of divorce, as the card may suggest that the relationship has reached its end and cannot be saved. Even if the relationship doesn’t end in divorce, it can indicate a period of emotional pain from which you are now healing.

When these two cards appear together, it is a warning to be mindful of the amount of stress you are carrying and to be conscious of the amount of time, effort and energy that you are investing in your relationship. This is a sign that it is not healthy to take too much responsibility and that you need to be mindful of your capacity to do so. It is also a sign to look after yourself, as it is important to remember that you can only give as much as you are able to. The 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords together can also be a reminder that heartache, loss and disappointment are all a part of life, and that these experiences can be transformative and ultimately lead to a greater sense of understanding and growth.

What does 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords mean together for your finances?

When the 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords are combined, it can indicate an oppressive, stressful situation that is weighing heavily on finances and job performance. This combination can mean that the individual is feeling overwhelmed by all the burdens and responsibilities that are being placed on them. There is a tremendous amount of pressure, causing feelings of pressure to mount. In addition, the individual may be feeling that their job security or financial security is at-risk and could be in danger of being lost.

The 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords combination can also indicate that there is a lack of balance in the individual’s finances and job. This means that they might be spending too much money and not taking enough time off to rest and recharge. This could lead to a feeling of being trapped and exhausted, leaving them feeling helpless and unable to move forward. It can also mean that they are working too hard, leading to burnout and further financial and job stress.

Finally, this combination can indicate a divorce, heartbreak, surgery, or loss. This can be in terms of a financial loss such as losing a job or being unable to pay bills. It can also be in terms of an emotional loss, such as the end of a relationship. This loss can cause deep feelings of sadness and depression, adding to the individual’s feelings of stress and exhaustion.

The combination of the 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords can be a difficult time for an individual. However, there is hope to be found in this combination if the individual takes the time to take care of themselves and find balance in their life. This includes taking time off to rest, reaching out to friends and family, and being open to making changes and decisions that will bring a sense of peace and balance back into one’s life.

What does 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords mean together for your health?

The 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords tarot cards together indicate that someone is feeling a tremendous amount of stress, exhaustion, and burden. This overwhelming weight can come from a number of sources, such as work, relationships, health, or finances. It is possible that the individual has taken on far too much and is feeling the negative effects of it in their life. This can lead to feeling emotionally drained, emotionally overwhelmed, and possibly depressed.

At the same time, the 3 of Swords tarot card is also present, indicating a deep sense of heartbreak, loss, and depression. This could be related to a relationship, a job loss, an illness, or a major life event. Whatever the source of this pain, it can take a major toll on one’s mental and physical health. This can further add to the weight of the burden they are already feeling from the 10 of Wands.

Ultimately, the combination of the 10 of Wands and the 3 of Swords tarot cards is a warning to take care of one’s mental and physical wellbeing. Taking on too much can lead to feelings of exhaustion and depression, which can have long-term effects on one’s health. It is important to take time for self-care and find a way to manage stress in order to maintain balance. Additionally, it is important to reach out for support and help when going through difficult events, as it can help to lessen the burden and provide a sense of comfort in times of distress.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

  • The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
  • The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Both 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords the answer to your question is “NO”.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does 10 Of Wands mean?

The 10 of Wands Tarot card is a reminder that we may have too many responsibilities and burdens. When this card appears in a spread, it can represent the heavy weight of life and all its responsibilities. This card is a warning that too many obligations can lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed and exhausted.

Health: The 10 of Wands Tarot card can indicate that too much stress can take a toll on our health. When our responsibilities start to feel like a burden and we don’t take a break to recharge, physical and mental health can suffer. Even if we’re managing to keep up with our duties, we can still be at risk of feeling overwhelmed and burned out if the weight of our obligations is too much to bear.

Finances: The 10 of Wands Tarot card can be a warning that taking on too much debt, or trying to handle all of our finances alone, is not a good idea. This card indicates that trying to do too much on our own can lead to financial exhaustion, and that it’s important to take on a manageable amount of debt and to share our financial responsibilities with others.

Relationships: The 10 of Wands Tarot card can point to feelings of being burdened by too many expectations in our relationships. This card can indicate that we may be feeling the pressure of too much responsibility, and that it’s important to talk to our loved ones about our feelings and needs. This card can also represent a feeling of being overwhelmed and exhausted by our need to fulfill everyone’s expectations.

The 10 of Wands Tarot card can be a reminder that it is important to take a break, delegate responsibilities, and learn to say no when necessary. If we take on too much and start to feel overburdened, we risk having our health, finances and relationships suffer.

What does 3 Of Swords mean?

When The 3 Of Swords Tarot card appears, it symbolizes a variety of difficulties related to health, finances and relationships.

In terms of health, this card can indicate that a person is undergoing or has recently gone through some form of physical or mental health issue. It may suggest that the individual is dealing with a major surgery or hospital stay, or that they have recently experienced some significant trauma that they are still trying to come to terms with. This card can also be a warning sign of depression, or of poor overall physical health due to neglect.

In terms of finances, The 3 Of Swords Tarot card signifies loss, especially in the form of debt or investments. It can suggest that the individual is struggling financially due to unforeseen financial setbacks, that their investments are not performing as expected, or that they are facing major legal issues that are costing them a lot of money.

Finally, in the context of relationships, The 3 Of Swords Tarot card can symbolize heartbreak, divorce, arguments and general disharmony. It can suggest that two partners are no longer compatible, that communication between them has broken down and that any attempts to resolve the situation have so far been unsuccessful. It can also be a warning that the relationship is heading towards a break-up or even a divorce if something is not done to repair it.

When The 3 Of Swords Tarot card appears, it is a reminder to take stock of our health, finances and relationships. It can be a warning that we are in need of support in any of these areas, and should take the necessary steps to address them. It can also be a sign that, despite our circumstances, we can still rely on our inner strength to carry us through.

Conclusion

Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw 10 Of Wands and 3 Of Swords has helped you.
