Suit Element:
Fire, male active energy Keywords and Phrases: Plans stabilise. Enjoyment of reward after effort. (Secondary: wedding plans). Four of Wands Tarot Card Meanings The scene depicted in the Gilded Tarot is slightly different to that found within the RWS, which appears more celebratory. The family in this card are dressed in simple country attire, appearing relaxed and contented, in the midst of four wands that form the solid structure of a square. The scene is more reminiscent to the 'Harvest Home', which is an easy way to recall the card, a time when people would gather to feast together to celebrate and give thanks, after their hard labour from gathering in the season crops. The Four of Wands brings solidity to the work that has gone before, which allows time to relax with those you love, a short pause in activity to take your foot off the pedal. It provides the contentment in the moment for a job completed and well done. As we’re still dealing with low numbers, the Four normally brings stability and suggests modest enjoyments, pleasant R & R activities, short breaks, and a general sense of well-being. The garland of flowers atop the wands can suggest someone making wedding plans, although normally applied as a secondary meaning when strengthened by other cards indicating marriage. The Four of Wands often remains unchanged if reversed although some see it as a sense of insecurity, or the same as upright but to a lesser degree.
