Tarot 101 - Ace of Wands

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

All the Aces in Tarot represent potential - something new and exciting on the verge of manifestation.  Fresh energy is about to burst into your life and shake things up. This card bodes well for your health, your career, your creative projects - in fact, it’s just a pretty good card all round!  I’d be very happy to see it anywhere in a spread.  If you have asked about love, this card indicates passion - it’s pretty phallic, don’t you think?

If you want to get really esoteric about it, the Ace of Wands contains all the other Minor Arcana cards within it.  It is the ultimate potential! It is linked with the Sun and is the masculine counterpart to the feminine Ace of Cups, which is linked with the Moon. All of the Aces are found within Kether on the Tree of Life. 

Tarot 101 - The suite of Wands & the Element of Fire

This suite represents your passions, sexuality, physical energy and activity.  In Tarot, this suite is often linked with your career or business interests.  This is a powerful, positive, active suite.  It talks about what you are doing, as opposed to what you are thinking (Swords) or feeling (Cups).  If the question is about timing, it shows the influences at work around you now and in the very near future. Correspondences of Wands include the season of Summer and the zodiac signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
