Advice & Messages
The Ace of Wands appears in your reading to say “hey! Pay attention to what gets you excited and enthused!” because that’s important. Then, follow that initial spark of enthusiasm and see where it takes you!
The world needs your energy and it’s time to venture out into the world and share your passion and excitement in a more extroverted way.
This Ace encourages you to take the initiative and grab the opportunities that interest you with confidence and passion. Don’t sit around waiting, get out there and DO IT!
External vs Internal Meanings
Internally, the Ace of Wands is about noticing what excites you and fires you up, while externally, it advises you to follow your enthusiasm and get out there and take action!
Reversed
If the Ace of Wands appears reversed in a reading, it can represent a lack of motivation, enthusiasm and energy for something. Or initial enthusiasm that dies quickly because it can’t find a direction to go in or it’s squashed quickly by naysayers or “reality”.
A reversed Ace of Wands can also indicate that you’re having trouble identifying what you’re passionate about right now and struggling to get out there and explore your passions in a meaningful way.
