General Interpretation

4 of Wands

The 4 of Wands is a bit of a mixture of possibilities both in concept and in the context of negative vs. positive. Generally it is a positive card but it does have some potential for being negative, particularly if any warnings given are not heeded.

Business is likely to be going well and you should feel proud of what you have achieved just as others are proud of you. Your pride is justified and there is nothing wrong with congratulating yourself on your success.

The 4 of Wands also carries a slight warning to those who are indeed now congratulating themselves on their success. Although potentially negative it will only become so if you allow it to happen.

You have been pretty successful in your endeavors up to now and you can be rightfully proud of that, but that doesn’t mean you can or should rest on your laurels. There is no harm in reaping some of the rewards of your success as long as that is not all you do. Onward and upward should be your motto.

There is an element of travel attached to the four as well. It can indicate an upcoming event which you are considering, and if so, then you should go. It’s going to be much more fun than you think!

The element of travel may also refer to you moving home. Although this could be relocation on a temporary basis for work, it is somewhat more likely to be of a permanent nature.

Friends and Family

There are a couple of possibilities when the 4 of Wands appears in this context. It can indicate an engagement, or a marriage, or any event where commitment is a necessary element. It could be friends or family that this applies to and one is not more likely than the other.

The other main possibility is that travel of some sort could be forthcoming. It may be a message as simple as someone is going to have the opportunity to go on holiday, or to travel in connection with work. It could also mean travel of a more permanent nature insomuch that someone will be physically moving home in connection with a job. Whereas this may not be forever it is certainly not temporary either.

Love and Relationships

Your relationship is about to be taken to the next level is one way of putting it. If you’re dating then it could be an engagement. If you’re already engaged then marriage is now on the cards. And if you’re already married things are going to deepen between you. The four is all about commitment.

It is also a good card to get if you are still looking. Events are where you need to be! But not just any event. Weddings, engagement parties, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, anything that involves a level of commitment to another or to a belief. Commitment is the key word.

So if you get an invitation that makes you want to groan think again. If it’s a special event as mentioned then go!

Spiritual Growth

Your spirituality is yours and yours alone. It doesn’t matter if friends and family don’t understand or agree with your beliefs because it’s what you understand and believe that’s important.

Listen to what they have to say by all means but don’t let them sway unless that is the right thing to do for you. Not for them. You have your own beliefs and you have them for a reason.

Even if you have to go it alone there is no reason why you should not continue to grow spiritually if that is what you want to do.

Work and Career

You are probably quite pleased with the way things are going at work right now and you have every right to be so. You have worked hard and been successful in your endeavors and this has been recognized. This has been recognized so kudos to you!

Don’t make the mistake of sitting there and basking in the glow of success. There will always be others who will be willing to work just as hard as you do and they would love to take your place. Identify the next goal on the ladder to success and start working on it.

If you are looking for a job then the four is not a bad card to get but it does mean that you should be cautious when going for an interview. Even if you are experienced in the field you are applying for don’t let hubris get in your way. Make sure you are up to date with current practices and thinking.

Message from Spirit

Just because your way is not their way does not mean that you must be wrong. Just because their way is not your way does not mean that you must be right. Simply that your ways are different.
