Four of Wands

The meaning of the Four of Wands in Tarot readings, including definitions for the upright and reversed positions.

Four staves are planted in the ground and  flowers, leaves and fruit are woven together and hanging from their tops.  In the background a couple dances joyously in front of a castle, waving bouquets over their heads as they dance.  A few individuals on the left are engaged in conversation, seemingly oblivious to the celebration taking place next to them.

Upright: A card of celebration, happiness and union.  The idea that sprang forth in the Ace of Wands has been successfully brought into being and it’s time to celebrate.  On a different level, the four wands very much resemble both a wedding gazebo and a gate and this card may indicate two people starting a new life together.  It may be a private arrangement of living together that even family members don’t know about. Alternatively it may show a well earned vacation after a period of intensely hard work.

Reversed:  Delays and difficulties.  Troublesome details are preventing the completion of a project and celebrations and rest must be put off for the time being.  A romantic relationship may be going through a rough patch that’s causing second thoughts about living

EXAMPLES: Two people who are madly in love and celebrating life with all of their hearts and souls.

A wedding.
