The business started will end successfully. This is how the appearance of the Ace of Wands in the Tarot layout is explained. This card symbolizes the long-awaited victory over troubles, everyday issues, difficulties professional activity or even in search of love. Even the illustration itself speaks about this. A human hand holds a huge staff, by itself without the help of anyone. She had the strength to overcome all difficulties.

If the Ace of Wands card is included in the layout, then good changes will occur in life

The main idea conveyed by the Ace of Wands

The Ace of Wands Tarot is not a simple lasso. Its meaning is filled with great enthusiasm, willpower and determination. Nothing happens by chance in our lives. And if the Ace of Wands Tarot card is included in the layout, you can be sure that good changes will happen in life. Even if a person wants to achieve something specific and doesn’t know how to get there, it doesn’t matter. Any chosen path to achieving your goal will be justified by fate. A favorable result will definitely come.

What tarot readers say

Magicians most often believe that the Ace of Staffs is a careerist card. This may apply to any career advancement or fulfillment of certain plans. There are many options. But the magician does not know the person personally. And this becomes a powerful argument for the meaning of the Ace of Wands Tarot card. After all, a person’s life is not only work, but also social activity - the desire to improve their living conditions, find reliable friends or a loved one. Any desire of an individual to achieve victory in a desired matter is the main idea laid down by the creators of Tarot cards.

But you shouldn’t rejoice ahead of time. The Ace of Staffs is surrounded by other cards. What if the adjacent Major Arcana appears with an unfavorable interpretation? There are many options. And it is possible that the dropped “Scepter” is confirmation that pain and disappointment await the person.

The versatility of the meanings of the Ace of Wands card in an upright position

Like any other Arcana, the Ace of Wands carries a large number of meanings. They are all related to victories and achieving goals. Some interpretations may surprise the person himself. “The right course of affairs” is not always a priority for him. More often, The Ace of Wands has meaning for a person, in the physical (rarely in the material) sense. In the layouts he points to:

• changes in life related to work or household issues;
• receiving an inheritance;
• birth of a child;
• male strength, both physically and spiritually;
• assertion of personal strength, motivation and inspiration;
• passion in love relationships.

The Ace of Wands in the Tarot has a meaning that, completely characteristic of its element, is easy to interpret. Thus, fire symbolizes cleansing from internal and physical troubles. A kind of rebirth, from bad to good, is accompanied by motivation and strength. But like any fire, it needs fuel or wood to keep it growing or it will go out. So in Tarot, the Ace of Wands requires replenishment from neighboring cards in the layout.

The Ace of Wands carries a large number of meanings

Combination of the Ace of Wands with other cards

The Ace of Wands in combination with other cards is most often interpreted as a process of achieving a goal and realizing one’s own plans. The most significant event is if some major lasso is nearby. It is important to read cards correctly, because the life of the person himself depends on it. A few examples of such combinations are enough to show how different the sphere of one’s own “achievements” is:

1. In combination with the Emperor card - responsibility and success of the chosen strategy or idea in the career field. The bosses will fully support the determination and chosen “vector” of their subordinate.
2. In combination with Arcanum, the Court is the favor of superiors towards the work of their employee. Approval of his ideas.
3. Combination with the Two of Wands means the need for detailed planning of your actions. Under such conditions, success will be “just around the corner.”
4. Combination with the Seven of Wands - trials and obstacles on the path to success.
5. Combination with the Ten of Swords - wandering in search of a solution to the problem of a ruined project.
6. Combination with the Ten of Pentacles - work will bring success to the whole family. Opening a business is possible.

But cards do not always indicate success in something. In addition to all sorts of obstacles and troubles on the path to one’s own desire, which are shown by some Arcana, more negative events are also possible. So, an example of such a case is the combination of the Ace of Wands with the Four of Swords. The interpretation of the alignment may not concern any plans or successes at all. Most often, this combination means “Sick Fantasy” or “Lack of Enthusiasm.” Or, with the Page of Swords - an internal conflict, the mind and body cannot find a foothold in resolving some issues.

Love and Ace of Wands

Almost everyone who decides to use Tarot cards is interested in how it will be on the “love front.” Predicting the future can be inclined, as in good side, and in bad times. But for love, the Ace of Wands is the card that signifies passion. Her appearance is a good sign for a woman or man. Even if the relationship has long been at a dead end, this Arcanum indicates the beginning of a new round of relations. And the main thing in it will be mutual feelings and attraction.

If the Two of Cups appears in a reading with the Ace of Wands, then this is a direct sign of a “love beginning”. Relationships will find their path in the lives of two people. And importantly, the Ace of Wands can even be interpreted as conception or pregnancy. Isn't this the fruit of love between two people?

But there is another “side of the coin”. The Ace of Wands belongs to the element of fire. Fire is passion, emotion and temperament. For relationships, this means not only a good future together. Along with all this, stormy showdowns may arise. But as they began, so they will end. Love, like life, cannot be monotonous and one-sided. Even family quarrels have their own hidden meaning. Family conflict is just a struggle for one’s own opinion and not indifference to the thoughts of one’s neighbor.

The Ace of Cups, Ace of Swords and Ace of Pentacles have much in common with their companion of staves. And this is due to the designation of the card itself. Ace is strength. So the illustrations fully indicate this to a person. The Ace of Swords contains the hand holding the sword. Such a rise is an achievement. The situation is similar with the Ace of Pentacles card. The same hand, with its own efforts, holds back the Pentacle above the surface of green, well-groomed fields.

Ace of Wands belongs to the element of fire

As in the illustrations, the interpretations of the cards: Ace of Swords, Ace of Pentacles, Ace of Cups and Ace of Wands have much in common. And above all, this is a common understanding of the meaning - achieving the goal. But the question is what they are aimed at and what thought is key in this matter. The direct interpretation of “achievement” has clear areas of interest for the person himself, as comrades of his elements (water, earth, fire and air):

• Ace of Swords - achievement in the mental sphere;
• Ace of Pentacles – achievement in financial terms;
• Ace of Cups - achievement in the spiritual sense;
• The Ace of Wands is an achievement in the physical plane.

All these cards bring enlightenment and good (the Ace of Pentacles is responsible for money). Difficulties are not typical for them. The main thing is that only good lassos fall nearby. After all, without them, the meaning of the interpretation will not be so favorable. The Ace of Wands, Ace of Swords, Ace of Pentacles and Ace of Cups are a true gift from life. The main thing is not to miss it.

Reversed Ace of Wands card

If the Ace of Wands is reversed, this is not a good sign for a person. The map can be interpreted in different ways. It can mean both opposite interpretations and completely different thoughts and information. Most often, the reversed Ace of Wands means:

• obstacles on the way;
• powerlessness and apathy;
• infertility and sexual impotence;
• loss of the correct vector of one’s own ideas and undertakings;
• lack of motivation.

The inverted position of the card most often does not indicate the failure of the person himself, but only indicates emerging difficulties. You can cope with them if you “start all over again”, carefully thinking and eliminating your own mistakes. Moral exhaustion, lack of motivation or even excessive expectations are all inevitable processes, but not catastrophic. It is simply necessary to face difficulties, because without this it will be difficult to understand the meaning of all the thoughts that have formed in one chain.

The worst interpretation of this inverted card is the collapse and failure to implement plans. Quite simply, it is failure. If the accompanying cards in the layout indicate this, then there is no point in fighting for your rightness. It is better to spend time solving other equally important issues.

Human actions and potential

Magicians advise not to give up in anticipation of success or the fulfillment of a desire. The Ace of Wands is just an indication that a person is on the right direction. If interest or strong energy in achieving your goal is reduced or completely disappears, there is no need to “sin” on the cards. Man is the creator of his own life, and the magic of the Tarot has nothing to do with it. This is just a time portal through which you can see what awaits a person. And he is responsible for his actions and deeds himself.

An interesting note in the interpretation of the Thoth Tarot deck, characteristic of the Ace of Wands. It depicts a flaming torch. The meaning of this card is similar to the classical interpretation of the classical schools of Tarot, but has some differences. Everything is also about achieving success and desires. But all this is accompanied by one nuance - the result will come only when there are no obstacles. The path to success cannot happen by itself. Only vital energy, determination and a simple desire to achieve results will lead a person to victory.

Andy had a big problem - body odor.
At times the smell was so bad that Andy was embarrassed to leave the house.
The Ace of Wands showed that Andy is aware of the situation and is capable of changing it.

In the meantime, he needs to make a new start - return to the outside world and begin to enjoy life again.
His friends may not notice his problem, but even if they do, they will know that Andy is trying to change the situation, so it will not affect how they feel about him.

The Ace of Wands is a sign of beginnings, perhaps an inheritance, as well as a sense of contentment and triumph.

Description

Almost all decks, including those that do not feature Aces of other suits, show a hand clutching a wand or club.

In some decks, this hand emerges from a cloud.
In almost all decks, including those in which the suit symbol is depicted in the form of a chiseled, finished wand, the sign on Ace has the shape of a club or its heavier head.

The symbol is clear: the will and determination to fight when necessary.
Note that almost all decks feature leaves and branches growing from the club (or floating nearby).
It is a symbol of new growth in spite of, or perhaps because of, cutting off the roots.

Inner meaning

Starting a new venture, probably related to business or finance.
Creation, invention and (or) source for them.
The birth of usually a new business or idea.
It is possible to receive an inheritance, monetary or property, or to inherit the abilities necessary for the success of a started enterprise.

The mood of the Questioner is also favorable; Sometimes this card signifies a feeling of contentment and triumph.
This interpretation is similar to that of the Ace of Swords, but in a more positive sense.
The point here is not about conquest, not about defeating enemies, but about breaking ties, throwing off shackles, which will allow you to start anew; essentially an escape to freedom.

Value in the layout

Direct or positive: an inspiring start to a new business or venture.
It's also a good time to start.
The circumstances are favorable, the ideas and plans are correct.
A state of contentment and triumph.

Reversed or negative: collapse and decline.
Either the project was poorly conceived, you didn't have enough information or ability to handle it, or the timing was wrong.

The cards, for example, may show that you could have done this if you lacked confidence in yourself and in your undertaking.
In any case, the result will be failure if appropriate steps are not taken.

The Ace of Wands symbolizes new opportunities on the energy plane.
This is the card of the big “yes!”, the equivalent of which is a thumbs up in approval, and which gives a powerful energetic push to everything you think and dream about.

It could be an idea, a passion, an inspiration, or an impulse for inner growth.
Sometimes this card signifies birth.
You have a vital opportunity to charge forward energetically.
Since the Aces represent potentials or the beginnings of future phenomena, whether you develop these currently latent possibilities is up to you.

This card shows a clear phallic symbol, suggesting hot and ardent action.
You have a full tank, and if you are ready, squeeze the clutch and go full steam ahead!
This card can encourage you to act spontaneously and make snap decisions.

If it appears in the reading, it means that, most likely, you have been longing for change for a long time.
It represents the motivating belief that life can be much more interesting than it is now, and promises future success.

It also reminds you that magic still exists in the world, and that by taking on the challenge, like a true magician, you can pull the most amazing things out of your hat.
The position of the Ace of Wands in the layout clearly indicates a certain striking point that determines your goal at the moment.

However, there is a known case when the querent saw in a rod a carrot followed by a donkey - a bait that could force him to do something he did not want.

Reversed Ace of Wands

The reversed Ace of Wands is the equivalent card thumb down and meaning inaction, "no" or "not now."
But we should not forget that even with reversed aces, new beginnings are still in the air.

You feel ready for change - at least the desire or intention is clearly there - but there is no suitable opportunity yet.
It may be that the situation has not yet matured and you do not have enough energy, or for some reason you are not ready to act right now.

This may leave you feeling frustrated or backed into a corner.
If your goal is illusory or inconsistent with the law, enthusiasm can evaporate very quickly.
If it was excessive, there is a risk of false starts and rash actions.

You may resist what is happening or refuse to take on additional responsibility.
Neighboring cards may indicate what exactly is slowing down the process.
Delays, cancellations of agreements, compromises and missed opportunities are likely, as well as damage to property or wasted labor.

Someone may let you down or leave you in trouble.
Perhaps you are not really very interested in what is happening or you simply do not have enough strength.
Like all other reversed cards, the Ace of Wands can indicate illness.

In this case, the phallic symbol clearly declares weakness or powerlessness.
Your actions may not be effective.
If you applied for a particular post or presented a project, the result could be a veto, refusal or return for revision, or even a direct ban on further action in the same direction.

Perhaps it would be best to reconsider your goals and plans, and even postpone something indefinitely.
In the Waite-Smith deck, the wand seems to take root in the heavens, suggesting the rooting of your ideas on the spiritual plane and advising you to act without hoping for results.

Just as it says “no” to the external, this card can say “yes” to the internal, promising access to innermost power and energy.
From a shamanic and magical point of view, this card can represent a torch - a guiding light that helps to make a difficult and dangerous journey through the lower world.

Occultism associates with wands the concept of will, meaning the concentration of energy on a consciously chosen goal.
Traditional Reversed Meanings: fall, decline, destruction, decay.
Trouble, discontent.

Loss or damage material objects.
Unproductive work, futile labor.
Darkened joy.
Illegitimate birth or other problems with it.
Tyranny, cruelty, persecution.
Leave, quit.
Bad start.

Key phrase

I discovered a treasure trove of ideas, a source of inspiration.

Description of the card and its internal meaning

This card depicts a hand holding a staff entwined with green branches.
Symbolically, the staff signifies determination to fight if necessary, and the leaves and branches represent new growth despite being cut off from the roots.

Thus, the meaning of the card is this: you are facing a period of new ideas, thoughts and achievements that will be radically different from your previous lifestyle and, possibly, worldview.

Ace Posokhov speaks of the beginning of a new enterprise related to business, finance, creativity, the emergence of new thoughts and the source for them.
Like the Ace of Swords, the Ace of Wands promises the release of large amounts of energy.

Only in this case it will not be aimed at fighting enemies, but at breaking old ties and bringing fresh ideas to life.

Connection of the card with other occult sciences

Letter - L, number - 1, Ruled by the planet - the Sun, zodiac sign - Aries, Correspondence according to the Book of Changes - 3rd hexagram ("Difficulties of the Beginning"), Weather conditions - clear and sunny, Corresponding color - white, According to Kabbalah - corresponds to the sephira Kether .

Card meaning

Straight position

In this case, the card will talk about creative endeavors, ideas that require implementation, the arrival of the right time for any action, real plans, and a general state of satisfaction and triumph.

In addition, this Arcanum speaks not only about inventions and creations, but also about the sources for them, about receiving an inheritance, sometimes the Ace of Staves card indicates travel.

Inverted position

The card warns of decline, collapse of hopes, and disappointments.

Perhaps the Questioner did not collect enough information about the idea he was working on, did not have enough life experience, or the project itself was poorly conceived.
Or maybe it’s just not the right time to start.

In addition, the inverted Ace of Staffs may indicate that the Questioner is not confident in his own abilities, and because of such indecision, various kinds of delays will arise.

Daniela Chris. "Magic book of Tarot. Fortune telling."

< >
The Ace of Wands symbolizes the origin or emergence of an idea, an enterprise, a plan, a goal.
You are full of energy and enthusiasm, full of initiative.
The situation will develop harmoniously and stably, without sudden shocks and rapid radical changes.

However, if it falls next to an unfavorable card of the Major Arcana - the Devil, the Hanged Man (especially in their inverted position) - your desire is not yet fulfilled.
Reversed - the implementation of new plans may encounter difficulties or obstacles.

You should beware of manifestations of selfishness and excessive nagging.

ACE OF WANDS Just like the other Aces, the Ace of Wands represents the opportunities that have opened up to us - or that we have yet to discover.

The Ace of the Suit of Wands denotes enterprise, courage and willingness to take risks, as well as inspiration, enthusiasm and personal development, and in the most important components.
Considering that the Wands correspond to the element of fire, these components can safely include strengthening the will, beliefs and moral principles, as well as other processes of internal maturation and growth.

Thus, in general, the Ace of Wands symbolizes life affirmation, optimism and joy of life.
Although, however, in some cases it indicates a lack of patience.

Astrological equivalents: the signs of Sagittarius and Aquarius, the planets Jupiter and Uranus.
The Ace of Scepters symbolizes something fundamentally new - a new idea, a new way of looking at things, a certain primary creative act, creative thought, invention, enterprise.

Metaphysically, this corresponds to the stage of the birth of an idea, its embryo.
Astrologically, it is difficult to accurately match a chart to any sign or planet.
It seems that all active planets are at work here, among which Uranus is most involved.

This decade is characterized by a desire for distance and complete indifference to what is not within its sphere of interests, stubborn adherence to its course, regardless of its needs and the needs of others.
The trap is stubbornness and pressure on others.

Straight position: IN upright position the card symbolizes creativity, creation, beginning, invention, the beginning of understanding, push, luck, a happy coincidence, income, inheritance (in general, the Scepter suit is more of a Jupiterian suit), the birth of a child, the first step towards gaining significant life experience, adventure.

Inverted position: In an inverted position, the card means the absence of new ideas, narrow-mindedness, reluctance to accept anything new, premature start, delusions, inadequate perception of reality, loss of meaning (goal), decline, empty wasting of life, aging, insanity (the client is advised to report the latter with caution ).

As a card that represents its suit in a more concentrated form, the Ace of Sceptres relates to the concept of social prestige, so keywords such as exaltation and humiliation can be associated with this card.

The beginning that the card symbolizes can lead a person to universal recognition and glory or to shame and general disdain.

A sparkling hand emerging from the cloud clutches a staff decorated with fresh shoots and leaves.
In the background is a landscape with a river, mountains and a fortress.
The Ace of Wands symbolizes fire, growth, vitality; this is also the masculine principle, will, energy.

It means not only fully conscious desires, but also sufficient strength to fulfill them.
Feel free to get down to business - and luck will be yours, this card says.
In the most ordinary sense, it can mean masculine strength: if it falls on a man, it means that everything is in order with this matter; if it is for a woman, it is advice to find a man for herself.

Inverted: The Ace of Wands, on the contrary, does not advise interfering in events, because the questioner may not have enough strength.
In everyday terms, for men - problems with potency, for women - an indication of the absence of a man.

Inner meaning: The Ace of Wands is one of several cards that represent a suit. Wands are associated with the element of Fire, which in turn is associated with creative fervor, imagination, intuition, and initiative. Wands, unlike Cups - sensual dreams, or Swords - castles in the air, are a life-giving creative force in its pure form, which gives not just ideas and fantasies, but also motivation and energy to bring ideas to life. It's like a dandelion sprout making its way through the asphalt towards the sun. The Ace of Wands indicates the awakening of inner fire, new opportunities for self-realization, an awakened creative volcano. Internal restlessness and feverish bustle are necessary in order to break the boundaries of an ossified life; they are already too tight for you. Sprouting buds and leaves on the Rod indicate growth, despite being cut off from the roots. The coming period will be marked by ideas and thoughts that will be radically different from everything you are used to.

In magic, wands are associated with the concept of will: Concentrating energy on a chosen target.

Consciousness: Risk is necessary for personal growth and full self-realization.

Personal relationships: A very good card for starting a relationship, if the relationship is established, it speaks of the selfishness of one of the partners, the one on whose side the Ace fell. Obsession with one's own interests. Strong sexual desire can destroy romantic relationships, so don't rush. Otherwise you will lose something more valuable. If this card falls with 15 or 11 (Strength) Arcanum - a burning sexual craving.

Business, finance: Map of new beginnings. Inverted, the card speaks of financial difficulties caused by inability to handle money, or, simply put, by wasting it.

Studies: Seize the moment to improve your performance and pass all exams. Studying is easy.

Advice: Take advantage of every chance you get. Take on new things with enthusiasm.

Warning: Be careful not to be too arrogant and enthusiastic, do not overestimate your strength. Hot temper, impatience and arrogance are your problematic qualities.

Card of the day: be prepared for surprises, new information, and use emerging opportunities with enthusiasm and confidence. Your optimistic attitude will attract other people to this cause. Whatever task you face, today you have enough energy to get things moving. Don't let fears hold you back, trust yourself more!

Characters: A brave, active, enterprising person who is not afraid to take risks. An optimist, he knows how to enjoy life, but he is extremely impatient and it is easier for him to actively start some processes than to continue them. Because of this, in a negative aspect, this card can warn of irresponsibility, stubbornness, taking into account only one’s own interests, putting pressure on other people, extreme selfishness, following only one’s course and complete indifference and disregard for everything that is not within the scope of one’s interests. Such a person is not malicious, and will trample you not because of personal hostility, but simply because he did not notice you on his way.

Professions and field of activity: Traffic police officer, conductor, welder,

Personal relationships: stormy meeting. Passion. New acquaintance.

Main meaning:

Like all other Aces, the Ace of Wands speaks of new opportunities that have already opened or are about to open for the querent. This card always talks about something fundamentally new. In metaphysical terms, it corresponds to the embryonic stage. And what will grow from this seed largely depends on the person, his will, patience and effort.

This is the Flash, the insight, the hopeful beginning, the willpower and determination. A surge of creativity, exciting plans, incendiary ideas. The Ace of Wands describes something completely new. The stage of the birth of an idea, its embryo. These are always unexpected plans, creative endeavors, a new page in life, ideas that require implementation. The current situation will push you to try yourself in business. A new way of looking at things. Starting a new business or project. Adventure. A lucky coincidence.

Negative, inverted position: Those seeds that were or will be sown on the Ace of Wands can lead to decline and lowering of position. Perhaps the questioner collected insufficient information, does not have a complete understanding, was hasty and overly self-confident. In any case, the querent does not yet have the strength to implement the project. But there is a strong temptation to rush headlong into a new project, which in reality will turn out to be a very risky undertaking. An internal feeling (albeit illusory) of uncertainty quite realistically interferes with the implementation of plans. The card also speaks of the lack of new ideas, reluctance to accept changes, loss of strength, empty wasting of life, indecision and cowardice.

The cards in the layout will indicate exactly why there are delays, what or who is slowing down the process. Cancellation of agreements, unfavorable compromises, surrendered positions, disrupted projects and unfinished work are possible.

If you are too enthusiastic, there is a high risk of rash actions and false starts, and you can end up in trouble. But enthusiasm and drive to correct mistakes is no longer enough.

Next to heavy cards, the Ace of Wands emphasizes their strength and unfortunate outcome.

• With King, Queen, 9 or 10 of Pentacles– speaks of the financial success of the project.
