Upright Card Meaning

This is the card you want by your side when you are starting a new endeavor. The Ace of Wands represents the purest channeling of the element of fire. Without literal fire we would never be warm. Without the spiritual element of fire which fuels creativity, energy and passion, life would be very dull indeed.
The Ace of Wands represents that first spark when starting a project—an idea, a question, a desire. To bring your project to fruition requires discipline and hard work, but that first step of inspiration and creation is crucial. Be sure to keep that initial rush in mind, even when you’re mired in work.
At its core, The Ace of Wands represents potential. This does not have to mean potential in a work or creative project, The Ace can allude to potential in a relationship, in personal growth, and more. It also reminds you of your own potential and of all the forces that have worked together to set you on your current path. Don’t forget where you came from.
Finally, the Ace of Wands reminds us of our own potential to change our situations at all times, through the careful application of willpower or intention.

Reversed Card Meaning

Something has gone wrong with your passions. You are indifferent or bored with things that used to bring you joy. That project that had so much potential is delayed.
The Ace of Wands reversed represents a distancing from the forces that power the card. You no longer feel passion or excitement. Perhaps the grind of working towards your goals with no progress in sight has worn you down. The Ace of Wands reversed provides a gentle nudge to work through your burnout and recharge in order to reconnect with the creative spark that inspired you in the first place.
Alternatively, you may have too much energy and that is what is harming your endeavors. With too much passion and no direction, you don’t know where to start and are overwhelmed. Refocus on what you really want, passion alone won’t help you succeed. When it comes to personal relationships, too much energy can push people away by overwhelming or hurting them.
Stalled ideas or relationships are not ruined permanently, they can be rescued by reconnecting with your motivation and willpower and heeding The Ace of Wands reversed.
