Ace of Wands Tarot Card, in its core, represents pure action fired by passion. This card is associated with the Fire element, representing the Zodiac signs of Aries, Leo, and Saggitarius, and its season is Spring. Ace of Wands, being the first card of the Wands Suit, carries all the qualities of number 1, which in a psychic reading would be translated to new beginnings, leadership qualities, avant-garde approach, and being very stubborn about new ideas.
Ace of Wands Meaning
When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawing, the Ace of Wands may come up straight, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers like to read reversed tarot cards. Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic reader conducts their readings, because a Tarot Card deck is connected to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.
Upright Position
Merging the qualities of number one, “Ace” and the qualities of the “Wands Suit,” the Ace of Wands card would represent:
| A force of creation | Inventing a new way or approach |
| Potential expansion | Open to new possibilities |
| A new talent | Coming up with a better solution |
| Enthusiastic, excited | Inspiring others through your work |
| Self-confidence | Having a strong faith in your path or work |
| Overpassing limitations | Dare to face your fears or phobias |
Reverse Position
In a reverse position, the Ace of Wands would mean precisely the opposite of its core qualities, bringing in the drawing:
| inaction | low self-esteem |
| a foggy mind | no plan to move forward |
| wasting time procrastinating | not knowing what to do or how to do it |
| having no plan or goals for the future | being tired and uninspired |
Horizontal Position
There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal position. If the Ace of Wands would sit in a horizontal position, it advises you to stay put.
You don’t need to re-organize anything. You don’t need to overlook strategies. Instead, you have everything in place, you have everything planned out well, but this may not be the right timing for you to set things into motion.
Ace of Wands – One card pull [Yes or No]
There are times when you need a straight forward precise answer, and that’s when you will do a one tarot card pull. You shuffle the tarot cards with your specific question in mind, and you either draw one card from the deck, or you read the one that falls out while you are shuffling.
Yes or No Answer
If it is a Yes or No answer, and you pull the Ace of Wands, then your answer is a big Yes. It doesn’t matter if it comes straight or in a reversed position. The answer to your question is Yes.
For a Yes or No answer, the Ace of Wands represents Yes, as a card of the Cups Suit.
Ace of Wands – Love and Relationships
How someone sees you or feels about you?
If your question would be how someone sees you or feels about you, the Ace of Wands is quite an attractive card to pull. It may hurt your feelings a little if you are questioning someone you have been with for a long time. It would mean that this particular person sees you as someone to have fun with, he considers the relationship to be passionate, fast-pacing, but not the relationship to settle in.
Just starting dating?
If you are asking about someone that you have just started dating, that this card would indicate passion and excitement, the other person has those butterflies in the stomach every time he is with you. He wants to take this relationship or dating to another level. It also brings into your attention that maybe the excitement is moving things too fast, and you may want to take it slow and get to know the person.
In the intimate aspect, this card indicates an amazing intimate relationship, filled with passion, desire, fun, and longing for each other.
What not to do?
When asking what not to do in a relationship, the Ace of Wands would tell you to take a step back and consider your partner and relationship’s real values and qualities. Don’t let yourself be absorbed by your passion or intimate life, that you forget to check in with how their personality matches or not with yours.
Reverse Position (Love and Relationships)
If the Ace of Cards comes out reversed, that would mean the relationship has hit a plateau status, maybe the desire and passion are missing, or he/she doesn’t see you as that exiting, mysterious, fun person anymore.
Ace of Wands – Finance, Business and Career
If you get the Ace of Wands in business, job, or finances related reading, this would be excellent news for you. If you already have a job that you like, or at least you are not about to give it up just yet, this card would indicate a promotion for you. It could also mean that you find a new way to approach a work duty, which will lead to you being appreciated and valued as a good employee, maybe even winning the employee of the month.
On the other hand, if you have considered starting your own business, this could indicate a good sign that you will be able to pull it off, reach your target audience, or meet the right people who can assist you in your success. If you have been looking for a job, or you have scheduled job interviews, pulling the Ace of Wands means that you will soon be employed, possibly at your favorite position.
What not to do?
The Ace of Wands would advise you to take it down a notch, whatever you are doing. For example, if you are asking how to do better at your job, so you get along with your co-workers, your answer would be to let other take the lead for once, or if you are in a leading position, it would advise you to trust others and not demand to do everything yourself.
Reverse Position (Business and Finance)
In this case, you may find yourself stuck at your job, or not knowing how to pull it off. Maybe you are burdened by many responsibilities, or maybe your job is asking so much of you. You may be working in a toxic environment, which does not offer you opportunities to grow, or it is not the job for you.
If you have your own business, this could mean that your idea won’t work as well as you expected it, or you may find yourself in financial debt.
If you are unemployed, this could mean you will still have to deal with that situation because it indicates you won’t have many job offers in the near future, or you won’t find a job that fits your criteria, goals, or your profession.
Ace of Wands – Timing
When will something happen answer?
If it is a question that involves around the timing of an event and you pull the Ace of Wands, this would mean that whatever you desire or wonder about will manifest pretty soon. How soon is that? It would be kind of complicated because it would mean springtime, of a Zodiac Sign season Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.
It would also be counted in days or months, which would mean one month later, or around the 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th of the upcoming month.
The way you want to interpret this is keeping in mind that whatever you are asking about is coming pretty soon. From there, you would figure out the time. For example, if it is summertime when you are doing the reading, it would not indicate that your desire will manifest in Spring. The highest possibility is that it would manifest during Leo Season or the upcoming month.
