The Ace of Wands card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck

Wands

Ace of Wands

a spark · new energy · raw potential

Upright

An idea has arrived with some heat behind it. The Ace is the beginning of something you actually want to do, before anyone has asked you what the plan is, and its only real suggestion is to act on it while it's still warm.

Reversed

Reversed, the spark isn't catching. Often the idea has been described so many times that the enthusiasm for it is spent, or there's energy about with nowhere useful to go.

If this is your card this month

What idea have you been describing instead of starting?

A card is a prompt rather than a forecast. It doesn't know what will happen, and the useful part is what you do with the question it hands you. We make that case at more length in not a prediction, a mirror.

Where this card came from

If Ace of Wands arrived on a postcard, it was drawn for you for that full moon, and the reflection on the back was written from what it means. And if it didn't, well — that's the other thing we do here: a card and a reflection in your mailbox every full moon.
