Ace of Wands

"A hand emerges from a cloud grasping a wand already sprouting buds: the spark that ignites a new desire."

Upright meaning

The Ace of Wands is the fire that catches: an idea that lights up the body, a project born eager, a desire that pushes you to act now. It is pure energy, unfiltered inspiration, the green light to begin something with passion. The budding wand reminds you that this spark, if you feed it, becomes a fire that creates.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the fire will not catch or goes out. Lack of motivation, an idea that does not start, enthusiasm that cools before it begins. The spark is there, but something keeps it from growing.

In love

Intense attraction, desire igniting, a spark that calls for action. Passion in its purest state.

In work and money

The ideal beginning for a project, a venture or a creative idea. Start the engine and go.

The card's advice

Grab the burning wand: inspiration is a match, it lasts little if you do not light something with it.
