What’s my aura?

Ten of Wands, upright — the one card for "what do people read off you."

What comes through isn't brightness or softness; it's weight. People sense competence first — this is the person who has it handled, who carries the thing nobody else wanted — and strain second, close enough behind that it colours the first impression. The aura is authority at the edge of its capacity: reliable, slightly braced.

If the people around you describe their first impression of you as "she/he's the one who manages it," that matches this card. If they describe something else entirely — warmth, sharpness, distance — then this isn't your seat and we pull again rather than paper over it.

The one thing this card can't see for you: which of the ten you're actually still holding. Before this ends, put your current load in writing, item by item, and mark the ones that were never yours to pick up — then hand one of those to a named person out loud rather than in your head.
