A card of the suit of Wands

Upright
celebration, homecoming, stability, community, milestone
The Four of Wands is a gate of flowers. After the journeys of the earlier cards, the staffs now form a frame, and the garland is thick with blossom and fruit. Two figures lift their bouquets in front of a walled castle, safe within it. Upright, the card points to a wedding, a move, a finished project or any occasion that gathers people and marks arrival.
Reversed
unease at home, a delayed party, tension, lacking support
Reversed, the garland sags. The card points to a gathering that does not happen, tension at home, or a milestone that feels hollow. It is mild, not grim: the foundation is usually still sound. It can also mean you do not yet feel you belong. It asks what would make the place feel like yours. It is a pause, not a verdict on your life.
