Guidance held with care, insight without haste
Wands
Out of a cloud comes a hand gripping a stout wooden staff with fresh leaves sprouting from it. A river, hills and a distant castle lie below. This is fire in its first form: the spark, the urge to begin, raw creative force before it has been given a shape.
A surge of energy arrives and wants somewhere to go. The Ace of Wands marks the birth of an idea, a passion, an enterprise. You feel it as excitement in the body. Act on it while it is hot. Do not wait until you feel ready; begin, and the readiness comes. This is the green light for whatever has just caught fire in you.
The spark catches and goes out. You have the idea without the drive, or the enthusiasm with nothing to attach it to. The Ace of Wands reversed shows false starts, delays and a creative block. The fire is not dead, only damp. Find what truly excites you, not what ought to, and strike again.
Desire, attraction, a new flame. If you are alone, someone sets you alight, and the pull is immediate and physical. In a relationship, passion returns, so make the first move and bring adventure back. It is a beginning full of heat. Its depth is still to be found out.
A new venture, an offer, a burst of inspiration. Say yes to the project that excites you and move quickly, because your initiative is your greatest asset now. Open the business, send the application, make the call. The energy to carry it follows the decision to begin.
Yes. The spark is lit, so act on it now while the fire is fresh.
