All cards are upright.
1 - 7 of wands
2 - 5 of wands
3- 6 of wands
4- hanged man
5 - high priestess
6 - the lovers
7 - 10 of swords
8 - king of wands
9 - king of pentacles
10 - the world
Any thoughts would be useful.
Thank you in advance
To me, the amount of wands in this suggests maybe you are following your passions in regards to finance/career instead of what's most practical.
The 7 crossed with 5 is a very active, very competitive, stressful combination. Almost like you are wrestling with yourself to keep your ideas and your desires where they are, but also really brainstorming on how to make this work. The fact that the underlying cause is the 6 of Wands says to me that maybe you are finally starting to feel proud of you passions and your own abilities, or that you want to, and you are just now starting to try. Lots of energy right now, although I feel it's very restless.
The Hanged Man in the past says you were in a wait and see mode, maybe trapped in a dull job out of responsibility and routine? The High Priestess in the 5th (how you feel about the situation) seems to me that you are starting to approach your finances and future plans with faith, be it in your own abilities or the universe. The Lovers in the immediate present says to me you are FINALLY starting to strike a balance between your need for adventure/passion and your need for practicality. Also, the fact that all three of these cards are majors suggests that you HAD to go through these past experiences, and this one you are in now, in order to grow karmically. No way around it.
The 10 in the 7th says you are feeling like a failure, but at the same time, I think when you look back at the 3rd position... it's more of an optimistic failure. The killing of the part of yourself that was limiting who you are deep down, so it's also a bit of a positive thing. The environment being the King of Wands is the universe's red carpet for you. JUST DO IT. That's what it's saying. The time is ripe to chase the dream, to make the moment count, and do what it is your intuition and faith is telling you to do. The advice is the King of Pentacles -- this to me suggests that as you move forward, you need to strike a healthy balance between your work life and your personal life. All these wands seem like you are an all or nothing person. You put all your eggs in one basket, and don't really spread yourself around evenly. My guess is you stress yourself out easily. Take a deep breath. Learn to relax and play just as much as our work. Balance is the key with the King (just like the Lovers). He also is someone who trusts that he is right. He is a little slower to make decisions and a little slower to arrive where he is going, but when he gets there, he is VERY solid and secure, both financially and emotionally. Make sure you pay attention to yourself, just as much as your finances. The outcome if you do this... the World. I mean, come on. That's an amazing card.
Everything about this spread says to me, yes, whatever you have been thinking about doing -- whatever dream you have been thinking about chasing -- needs to be done. Trust in the universe. Trust in yourself. It will not be so easy (the 7 and 5 suggest it will take a lot of work and energy) but if you strike the right balance between work and play, and if you just keep you head on straight, everything will be great. Better than great. The World is the doorway to the Fool, who gets to start on a whole new and wonderful journey.
Best of luck!!!
