Work: If you are looking for a new position when the Ace of wands appears, know that something new and very positive is likely to be headed your way soon. Be bold and ask for what you want/need in the work/career arena. You are likely to be more successful than you'd dream possible.

If this means exercising for two minutes or eating vegetables at one meal a week, then that's what you should do. The payoff for doing so will be huge. Don't delay.

REVERSED ACE OF WANDS
When reversed, the Ace of Wands Tarot card points to a moment of confusion. Here, it’s important to keep your head on your shoulders.
You don’t want your current disorientation to escalate into full-blown chaos. That could spell an inglorious, early end to something that had a very promising start. The reversed Ace of Wands also suggests that something is about to come to an end. But that’s not always a bad thing. In fact, there are plenty of times when the end of something spells very good news: such as a job search, a garnishment or a hospital stay. The reversed Ace of Wands broadly has to do with the realm of accomplishment and work/career. With the reversal, it may be difficult for you to keep your focus and to avoid becoming ineffective. Keep your focus on one thing at a time. General: In general the reversed Ace still points to the reason for feeling good, but you may be having difficulty "feeling it." If you are struggling with anxiety, try to get a handle on what you are worrying about and what is bothering you. Work: The Ace of Wands reversed shows good possibilities at and for work, but there is a downside implied here as well. For instance, you may find/have a good job, but have a supervisor who is difficult. Or there may be misunderstandings at work that make you feel as though you aren't valued. Love: As with the upright meaning, if you are single, the reversed Ace of Wands can indicate the beginning of a new love relationship. This card can also indicate the birth of a child; so if this is a possibility for you and you are not yet ready, make sure you take all the appropriate precautions and then some. In an existing relationship, this card shows a need to think before you speak and to listen hard to your partner. Misunderstandings are easy now. |
Finances: The Ace of Wands reversed shows a need to pay close attention to what you are doing with your money. This is not the time to take chances or to just hand over your financial responsibility to a broker or banker and expect them to act in your best interest. There is no such thing as a "sure bet," in investing or in horse racing, so be careful.
Health: The reversed Ace of Wands points to a need to watch out for--and limit or stop--indulgences. Being moderate in your habits now is very important. Overindulgence in food, alcohol, or drugs (even over-exercise or over-dieting) can wreak serious havoc with your system and your long-term health.
