Are You At Risk Of Burnout? These Tarot Cards Will Tell You
Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords can be a brutal card. It means the end of something, and often symbolizes the fact that you will soon be at a low point in your life. When it represents burnout, this card means that you have hit a wall. You have exhausted yourself and there is no point at throwing yourself at this goal any further; this is the end of this particular chapter in your life.
The Ten of Swords can sometimes mean that you will soon be forced into rest. Burnout is your own body’s way of telling you that you can work no longer; you are at the point of complete exhaustion. Take the Ten of Swords as a sign that you have worked your hardest and tried your best, but that it is now time for you to take a break and give yourself the rest you need. You cannot continue your goals and accomplishments when you have no energy left for them; let go of them for now and reorganize yourself in a healthy way later on.
Nine of Wands
The Nine of Wands is a positive card, but one that signifies you’re tired nonetheless.

The Nine of Wands is a card that encourages you to continue, because you are nearly at the point where you need to rest; but it is also a warning that you will soon wear out under all the stress and pressure.
Plan a long break for yourself once you have accomplished the project the Nine of Wands points to. Doing this can help you achieve your goals without risking your personal wellbeing; something the Nine of Wands wants to guide you towards.
