Ananda Tarot
TEN OF FLAMES
The Image
A star of majestic grace with ten rays of light shines from the infinite space of the Universe over the planet Earth, which rises out of a haze.
Meaning
The Ten of Flames represents fire energy in its highest potency: great strength, optimal ability and maximum success. However, this can also mean that the given conditions require extreme effort. A common trait of the sequence of ten is the peak at which no further improvement is possible. Things have developed in such a way that they can no longer be ignored. It is no longer possible to disregard them. In a greater sense, this means that the highest degree of consciousness is possible.
The given circumstances require goal-oriented use of powers to justify the requirements of the momentary situation. Based upon outer pressures, realistic self-assesment may be needed, as there is a high degree of energy to be dealt with. A single spark could cause a gigantic wildfire. Yet, nothing should be forced. In the worst-case scenario, doing so would turn the powers against oneself. The attempt to jump over one's own shadow would mean that one is senselessly wasting his strength.
However, the straining powers of fire also fulfill a purifying function. Beside the eradication of negative characteristics, this card can also point to the introduction of a healing cycle. Under the given circumstances, fortified with courage and heart, man can achieve much even in the knowledge of certain risks. It is necessary to bring forth the entire strength of one's being and to act in the interest of holistic consciousness. Possibly, a great task is imminent.
