Reading Tarot

What better card to begin this blog project than with the ace of wands? In the illustration, a hand firmly grasps a wooden staff, from which new buds sprout and old leaves are shed. When reading tarot, this card generally signifies change, opportunity, creativity and opportunity.

The appearance of the ace of wands in a spread suggests that the querent should act with confidence, and go purposefully in the direction of his or her intuition. It is often a premonition of an upcoming opportunity that the subject of the reading would do well to recognize. This card symbolizes the presence of inner strength, creativity, courage, and a sense of adventure. The recipient of this card should seize any upcoming possibilities and embark upon new paths with confidence, but they must also be prepared to take individual responsibility for their actions.

Sometimes the ace of wands portends a new beginning or a new stage in life. Overall, this is a very positive card, however it can have different meanings depending on which position it appears in a spread. For example, when it shows up in position 2 in the Celtic Cross, the Ace of Wands can portend a surplus of exuberance or a lack of stability and direction. In position 6, it most likely signifies a new beginning, and a powerful opportunity for change.

In The Reverse Position:

The Ace of Wands in the reverse (upside-down) position can symbolize the negative potential or the downside of creative endeavors: risk, fear, setbacks and uncertainty. It can tell us that we should take caution when embarking on new projects, and that perseverance will be necessary.
