Everything has got on top of this guy and from the look of the image, quite literally too.
In the foreground of the card we see a man cowering beneath 10 wands. In the distance we can see a house (presumably the guy's destination) and a beautiful sunrise, or is that a sunset?
Usually this card depicts a man carrying 10 Wands. He's loaded down with his burden but he's still managing to carry the wands.
In this card the guy has completely given up. The burden was too much and he looks as if he's hiding behind (or underneath) his responsibilities.
Tens relate to The Wheel of Fortune and so are cards of change. Here we see the end of one cycle and the start of then next but building on what has already gone before. The sunrise or sunset in the distance shows this: Things may be on top of you now but with a little bit of adjustment, you should be able to change things for the better.
I've included images from the International Icon Tarot which is a simplified version of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot and from the Heron Conver Tarot de Marseille.
I think that the Conver TdM image shows a feeling of saftety that I often get from this card and that the World Spirit card seems to portray too.
The TdM card looks so solid and safe, almost like a basket whilst the guy in the World Spirit card looks as if he's trying to find a place of safety amid all that he has to do and he's found it by hiding under all those wands.
