yes, I've had those moods too.  you can read for someone if your not ready no matter what the reason it is.  its not fair to them at all if you can't give them your all.

Yep, very often. And it is for the best interest of everyone concerned in a reading.

I do not find the ten of wands so bad, however. It is usually a person's tendency to overburden herself woth everybody's problems. As an attitude, it can be changed. Of course, it depends on the deck you are using: I was never faced with the meaning you encountered, Anas: what was the deck you were using?

TEN OF SWORDS.. really powerful card...this card says to me be careful someone close to you someone you trust will stab you in the back, this person has already decieved you but you are not prepared to admit this to yourself, it will be a servere blow you will feel you have lost but you cannot go down any further

What strikes me here with the Tens is the fact that all the cards represent the extreme of situation, the paroxysm and the maximum. It seems also that the cards speak about the spiritual realm as opposed to the actual real  and physical world.

10 Pentacles: no flaw in this picture... A feeling of complete fulfillment. I feel that the querent could be just anyone of the characters. I f a child, then you are loved and cherished by your parents and well provided for... If an animal, you are well fed and entertained. If the elderly, you children ahve not abandoned you, they cosnider you very much a central part of their life. etc... If a couple, then they will live happily ever after and have many children... This picture emphasizes material comfort though ( nice buildings, decorations and sculptures)

10 Wands: The young man, not only overburdens himself, but also is not even looking to see where he is going, or what is around him. He is only concentrting on his load and not on his surrounding. There might be someone behind him that is willing and able to carry part of his load. Also, does he really have to carry all those sticks in one setting? He could have made two trips!

10 swords: That hurts. This is the only card I find worst than the 3 Swords. The feeling of being hurt here is not only in the heart (like the 3 of swords) but all over the body, from the head to the buttocks. This is completel clinical depression, with a feeling that the bottom has been reached. Only death is better than this. The good news about this card is that nothing else can be worse than this.... and also, can't we see dailight rising with a beautiful yellow color..? Hope is there. After night, comes day.

10 cups: This is almost a replica of 10 pentacles , except that this is purely affective and sentimental. A fulfilled family, love that is pure with no material things attached to it. Innocent and genuine love and joy. It is not about how much money we have and how big a house we have but this is about nature and people.

10 of swords: He feels like he has been stabbed in the back. Maybe a business decision gone wrong due to his partner going behind his back and closing the deal. But realizes now that all along he did not need a partner anyway. He can make it on his own.
