Four of Wands

A sense of belongingness prevails whenever the upright Four of Wands appears. Rooted in the warmth of community, this chapter feels like a homecoming, marked by joy, stability, harmony, and jovial celebrations: a relationship that is founded on shared trust and devotion, peaceful family ties, strong community bonds, a career or project milestone, or any accomplishment worth celebrating. The card may also appear to signal fresh starts, including a blossoming romance, a new venture, or a new home. It’s a great time to gather friends and family to share in your happiness.

The Four of Wands represents close family and community ties and celebrations. A reversal implies a breakdown in these areas. Instead of harmony, relationships at home, in the community, or in your personal life are strained or plagued by conflict. Rather than care, you’re met with limited support. There may also be obstacles in planned events or projects. This card asks you to examine and address the why. It may require reconnecting with others and holding honest, compassionate conversations. Be sure to hold space for self-care, too. Sometimes, we must redefine belongingness to discover a path or a circle that truly supports us, no matter how small it is.
