The Four of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Four of Wands is an excellent card to have in your reading and indicates celebration, socializing, or an important event regarding work and relationships.

When you see this card in your reading you should breathe a sigh of relief and rest easy in the fact that problems in your life are on their way out and easier times are ahead of you. Very often this card will show up in relation to growth or additions coming in your life. These are positive energies coming your way and you will feel their effects soon. Be prepared for good news and inspiration in your life.

On the Four of Wands card, we see a group of innocent children heading between four wands with a castle in the background. The bright yellow that is prominent on the card indicates that now or very soon is a time of happiness. The individual’s hands are raised in joy or triumph and it gives the feeling that they are either attending a wedding or are joyful for some reason. Usually, it is associated with some sort of rite of passage or completion of a task and now you are ready to move on into a new phase. Allow for joy and celebration but also be prepared for the next big step in your life.

The Four of Wands is truly a card of completion. You did not get to where you are by happenstance. You have worked hard and done all that you could and what you have now is complete work. If you are not feeling the joy and satisfaction that is represented in this card then you should probably think about what you could have done better. Your end result is only going to be as good as what you put into it and the result before you right now is the best result that is possible considering the efforts that you have made towards it. You will get a chance to repeat the process again if you are not fully satisfied, but you will have to break it down and restart over.

There is no more room for improvement or repair. What you have in your life is what it is – no more or no less. Sometimes dissatisfaction comes from looking from the wrong angle. You may find by assessing a situation from another point of view that there is good in an aspect of your life that you are missing. Now is a time to be focusing on the positive and holding your head high. Focus on the good rather than what can be done better. Beautiful houses is also associated with this card. Maybe it is time to make a revamp of your home surroundings.

The Four of Wands As friendship

In regards to friendships, drawing the four of wands can mean that you have loyal trusted acquaintances. If you have fallen out with somebody then it can indicate that relationships are just not "healthy" and you need to determine if you really want to continue with a friendship. If you asked a friendship "type" question it can mean that you need to forgive. Forgiveness is not always that easy when you’ve been hurt in the past,  you can forgive but not forget is my advice.

You may have found that others are unwilling to change. You need to take into account what your role in the friendship and what their role was - especially if things ended on such a bad note. If you have fallen out - do you want to venture into this friendship again?

This could potentially drive your partner away, nobody wants to be with somebody that acts as a shadow. 

We all want to be valued this cannot be demanded and should not take place in a healthy relationship.

The Two of Wands

 
 
 

Two Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

There is a duality in the Two of Wands that refers to doing a job well and then seeing the benefits.

It is a card of duty and hard work, indicating that you are working through physical issues in your life (such as monetary or work issues) or can also be internal (such as emotional challenges) that require strength and resolve to overcome. Often this card comes up when you are feeling distracted. You know that you have tasks at hand and you are not ready to complete them. Now is the time to get cracking! Events are about to unfold in your life – new adventures, new job opportunities, or new responsibilities for example – and you need to be prepared for them.

The figure on the Two of Wands card is looking out over a great distance and often is thought of as a Christopher Columbus type individual (even though it is a woman on my card). Before setting sail on the voyage, notice how she is looking at the world wondering and waiting to what is ahead of her. There is a long road ahead of you and there is a need for you to take time to plan your course of action. Be certain of the direction you are taking and possible hurdles that will need to be overcome. Know that the path you are on right now is one that is good for you but without your own input or direction, you will easily find your way off course.

The Wands overall are cards of action and they have a fiery or fervent nature to them. Putting off responsibilities at this time will backfire and soon you will find that you are overwhelmed. This moment in your life is the calm before the storm of activity, use this time wisely to ensure successful rewards when the job is done. Your work will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.

If you are willing to put forth the effort before you begin your endeavor, you will find that it was worth the work. The duality of the card indicates a need for balance. This is not a time to engage in conflict or to allow yourself to get swept away with the concerns of others. You have made a choice about the direction of your life and now you need to follow through. Distractions and arguments will cause you to lose sight of the end goal.

The Two of Wands in Love

There is a feeling of newness with the Two of Wands and often it will indicate the beginnings of a relationship that is established but in the earlier phases. The attraction has been confirmed and possibly even some dates, but in the end, there is a sense of boredom and lack of direction. Even in long-standing relationships or when referring to people who are married the Two of Wands references a change or series of events that have left you feeling less than fascinated in your relationship.

Sometimes the Two of Wands can indicate feelings of entrapment or boredom in a well-established relationship that can cause issues or concerns. Consider the spark in your relationship at its current time. If you are feeling like there is something lacking in the relationship focus on bringing you and your partner together through physical intimacy or interests that the two of you share. Make sure that you are planning and setting aside time for just the two of you.

In love, this also may be a time to consider your options. Are you being honest with yourself in what you truly want or have there been new avenues that have arisen that are more tempting to you than your current situation? Now is a good time to consider a change of some sort – whether it means ending a current relationship for a new person that has come into your life or starting a new relationship where there has been a void. A word of caution: before you decide to pursue other options consider that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Two of Wands As Feelings

In a question about feelings, the Two of Wands tarot card can indicate that someone has "feelings" on a number of different levels. This could be just friendship or even romance. Often, drawing this card means that things are alright - just ok. As the figure is looking over the water (and water means passion and emotion) this can indicate that there is a block in the way this person feels. In regards to how someone sees you,  this card can mean they like the chance but they might not stick around. Often I see this card in new relationships, and a person moving from one relationship to another really quickly. It can mean strong passion but the ambitions for the longer-term mean that a decision needs to be made. The wands are sometimes shown to indicate impatience. Are you being impatient in finding the right person? One of the wands is secure but she is looking at the globe. Therefore, he or she might be getting satisfaction elsewhere but there are possibilities out there. Often this is the courage to tell the other person how they actually feel. If this card shows up in a relationship reading it can indicate that there are people who are rather stubborn.

Two Of Wands As Friendship

People around you like to have their own way. Two's are associated with creativity and relationship a real sense of passion. Often, this card represents thinking about progress or moving the relationship forward - but not wanting to commit or sacrifice because there is something that is standing in the way of the friendship. The good news is that it in regard to feelings pulling this card suggests that there is a sense of review in regards to the feelings of this friendship in the future.

The Two of Wands in Health

You are in a state of stagnation in your health if the Two of Wands has come up concerning your own wellbeing. Often boredom and fatigue combined will create health issues in their own right and can lend themselves to overeating or other unhealthy habits that have of negative consequences. Now is a time to balance the needs of your mind and body. You may want to consider walking, yoga, or mediation as a way to keep restlessness at bay. Irresponsible health choices are a common concern when the Two of Wands appears in your reading. Be mindful of your overall health especially if you are younger and take it for granted.

The Two of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Two of Wands will often represent a healthy cycle in work and money and come up when things are going well in your life. Even if you are going through a monetary crisis or have recently lost a job, the card indicates that things are turning in your favor. Usually, this card will be associated when you are about to receive a reward for work that was done well or additional perks in your current job.

This isn’t to say that everything is perfect. Rather it is a card indicating stability and a time that allows for a pause or reflection about making a new decision. The Two of Wands is present during times of change within a company. If you are worried about being fired or laid off, consider that there may likely be a better position within the same company that you are currently in that will be more rewarding to you versus the job that you currently have.

Yes, the world is your oyster but it a small one.

Work or career moves you means you are gaining steady progress.  On a romantic level that could possibly be a friendship or relationship and spiritually. This is a great time for development and feels empowered to take advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves.

It can signify that others may create issues and problems but these can be overcome.
