The meaning of the Suit of Wands in Tarot
The Suit of Wands corresponds to the Fire element and the astrological signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Each card in the suit carries a number from 1 (Ace) to 14 (King), progressively revealing the arc of fiery energy — from initial spark to mastered will.
When Wands dominate a spread, it signals an active life phase: new ventures, creative surges, or bold action. Reversed Wands indicate blocked energy — find where the fire has gone out.
