Four of Wands

UPRIGHT

Four wands stand in the foreground hung with a garland of flowers, two figures lifting bouquets in celebration beyond. The Four of Wands is the homecoming, the small completion worthy of being marked — a wedding, a housewarming, the first stable success of a long effort. The card honors the pause for joy.

REVERSED

Reversed, the Four of Wands is the celebration deferred or the homecoming complicated. The card can name a milestone that arrives without the company to mark it, a sense of having outgrown a community one used to belong to, or the small grief of a victory whose witnesses are no longer present.
