The Four of Wands tarot is a representation of stability and security.
It suggests that you have everything you need to feel safe and secure.
This is a time of celebration and happiness, as you have achieved a sense of balance in your life.
The four wands also represent the four elements (fire, air, water, and earth), which means this is a time of harmonious energy flow.
Things are going well for you right now, so enjoy it!
First, let's talk about the history and appearance of this tarot card before delving into anything else about it.
The History And Appearance Of The Four Of Wands Tarot Card
The earliest known tarot deck was created in Italy in the 15th century, and the Four of Wands was one of the original tarot cards.
The tarot card has remained unchanged over the centuries, except for a few minor details here and there.
When you look at the tarot card, you see two happy people who are dancing, and they are celebrating.
They hold flowers, and you will see a lovely wreath with flowers and grapes connected to the four wands.
Those elements indicate your happiness once you achieve a significant milestone or accomplishment.
In the background of this card, you will see a family in front of a castle that represents the comfort and safety you have at home.
Now, let's go over what it means when you get the Four of Wands in a reading.
When You Get The Four Of Wands In A Reading
As you know, the Four of Wands tarot card represents a time of celebration, success, and happiness.
This is a time to enjoy the fruits of your labors and to revel in your accomplishments.
A special event or milestone may be celebrated, such as a wedding, graduation, promotion, or another significant achievement.
Whatever the case, this is a time to enjoy yourself and savor your good fortune.
Other people may play an essential role in your celebrations, whether friends, family, or colleagues.
The Four of Wands can also indicate a new beginning or phase in your life.
This may be moving to a new house or city, starting a new job or relationship, or simply starting a new adventure.
Whatever the case, you are ready to embrace change and start fresh.
The Four of Wands tarot card can also represent harmony and balance in your life.

The Four of Wands tarot card can signify that things are finally looking up for you if you have been through a difficult period.
You may still have some challenges ahead of you, but you now have the strength and support to overcome them.
In a reading, the Four of Wands tarot card can indicate that you are about to experience a time of good fortune and happiness.
This is a time to enjoy your success and to celebrate your achievements.
You may be embarking on a new phase in your life, such as starting a new job or relationship.
Whatever the case, this is a time of positive change and growth.
When you have a mental illness or are struggling due to trauma, you are not going to see any Four of Wands stuff in your life.
So what is there is celebrate? What is stable? Where is the peace that you crave?
Those are the things that you may ask. And that is definitely the case with Risa Green.
If you were to ask her what she finds worth celebrating in her life, she would not know what to answer.
She thinks her life is one colossal failure.
But here is the thing, for you to move onto different areas of life, you have to achieve milestones, and she is no different.
I had said this before when I talked about her not thinking she had made any progress with anything in her life in other episodes.
However, if anyone moves away from home, and gets a job, regardless of whether or not they like it, those are milestones.
So, therefore, the Four of Wands would apply to those things.
Risa did attain those. She also married and had one child, and regardless of her mental health, no one can take that away from her.
So, even though her family situation is less than ideal, it does not matter. Those are milestones.
I do want to clarify that you do not need to get married and have kids to achieve a milestone to celebrate, as that is not what everyone wants to do.
Many people who choose to live a childfree or single life are fortunate enough to travel the world, as that is a significant thing to be proud of, and that makes me envious to think about lol.
Maybe one day I will reach such a significant milestone myself too. Only time will determine that.
Either way, if you had a large celebration such as a Sweet 16, 21st birthday party, engagement party, wedding, baby shower, 50th birthday bash, and you name it - or if you have been to those events, then you have related to this tarot card one way or another.
What about when the Four of Wands is reversed? Does that mean disappointment in those areas?
Not necessarily, and let's talk about that.
Four of Wands Reversed
The Reversed Four of Wands has several reasons, which are positive, negative, and neutral.
This card may represent that you want to have a personal or private celebration to reach a personal milestone such as a weight loss goal you attained.
You would not likely want to celebrate that with others.
Instead, you will just reward yourself, by buying a new pair of shoes, for instance.
This card's position can indicate also finding inner peace and self-acceptance after doing soul searching.
It can also mean a transition phase, such as moving to a different home or a new job.
But it can also mean there are conflicts with family members and friends, and you are keeping away from them.
Everyone has had this situation happen, some more than others.
I am not going to bore you with my experiences among those, but sometimes you cannot resolve those conflicts.
I will elaborate on that more when I talk about the next tarot card, but before that, let's talk about how you can apply the Four of Wands to your life.
How To Apply The Four of Wands To Your Life
I would say this is an excellent card to look at when you need some encouragement when it comes to you going after a goal such as weight loss.
It does not have to be in the reverse position.
You want to reach this milestone, and perhaps it can give you a bit of motivation, especially if you are tempted to indulge at a time when you are not planning it.
It can remind you to stay on course.
Also, if you need a reminder of the things you accomplished in life if you feel like a failure, this is an excellent card to grab and think deeply about all of the things you accomplished in your life, no matter how small they seem.
That can motivate you to do more in the future too.
Next, I will go over the next card which is pretty much all about the disruption of the Four of Wands, and that is the Five of Wands.
