I'm adopting a dog this month! I'm a cat person, I've never owned a dog before, I have no idea what I'm getting in to, and I'm completely lost. And yet I feel like this dog is the missing "wand" in my four-poster family table. I can't wait!  The Four of Wands is a time of joy, community, and togetherness. After your "ship comes in" with the three, the four represents a chance to celebrate that your hard work has led to success.
You have built a great foundation and a happy home, now it is time to step back and celebrate your efforts with family, friends, and even your dog! Questions answered by the Four of Wands: Who? Someone at home What? A house; a gazebo Where? At home When? April 11-20; within 4 weeks Why? Because you deserve a celebration Yes or No?

Four of Wands combinations With The Tower: Don't fear change, celebrate it. With Three of Wands: (if 3 precedes 4) Look forward to the day you can celebrate; (If 4 precedes 3) Appreciate your hard work. With King of Cups: A compassionate older male has reason to celebrate. With Seven of Swords: You may be celebrating for the wrong reasons - Did you act mischievously to get to where you are? With Six of Pentacles: Celebrate success but share the wealth with the less fortunate. Not everyone makes it this far.

 Visually, the Three of Wands often portrays a person on the beach overlooking a fleet of ships. The ships have not quite docked yet, so there is still work to be done. However, this card indicates a time where conditions are favorable for success.

With Six of Swords: A difficult transition is necessary for success. With Seven of Pentacles: The seeds need more time. Between my post about the Ace and this one, I discovered my internet hosting company completely changed their interface and I had to figure out how the new one works. It was a very Two of Wands type of engagement - now I'm wondering if this blog will post correctly. I guess the only thing to do is launch it (like I'm launching two boats) and find out!  After the brilliant idea of the Ace, the Two of Wands is going for it!
It is a choice to make and thoughtful planning before you commit. The classic Rider-Waite deck shows a man on the edge of the water, either contemplating his new endeavor, or watching his launched ships as they disappear over the horizon. After the Ace tells us to launch our new energetic plan, the two is the nerves of it, wondering if everything will work out as we hope. Questions answered by Two of Wands: Who? Someone puzzling over a problem What? A globe; A boat; a Project just getting started Where? Where you go to think about things When? The last week of March; Aries; within 2 days. Why? The only way forward is to set one foot in front of the other Yes or No?

Two of Wands combinations With The Moon: The journey ahead is difficult, trust your intuition. With Ace of Wands: Make a decision, quick! With Page of Cups: A sensitive person has happy news. With Ten of Swords: Go ahead but have a plan for failure - We learn the most from our mistakes. With Eight of Pentacles: If you are contemplating going back to school, do it! (If the eight is reversed, don't do it!) (If the two is reversed, you might not be thinking about school, but you should be!)  Some Tarot decks have one or more extra Major Arcana cards. Often these can be interpreted as ultimate question cards, the all-knowing or all-gifted, or other specific meanings such as Gratitude, Artistry, or Ascension.
For the most part, this card is useless in your quest for simple and practical answers, as it often asks you the questions rather than the other way around. Today I learned that my favorite arthouse cinema is permanently closing its' doors due to the Pandemic. I'm full of melancholy over this, as I spent many high school evenings there catching absurd or foreign films such as EraserHead, Wings of Desire, and Akira. But this random Major Arcana card reminds me that nothing is ever completely knowable and predictable, so maybe this closure is just the start of something new in the film industry, or a brand new career launch for all the employees who've been at the theatre for a very long time. Whether you pull this card or what it means will completely depend on the deck you own, but for a general overview of what this card might recommend, here you go: What career should I have? It doesn't matter. You can do anything! What food should I eat? It doesn't matter, I want some too! What color should I paint my nails? Whatever you think is best What movie should I watch? Something uncategorizable, such as Eraserhead or Being John Malkovich What should I clean? Everything or nothing, it doesn't matter. Where are my missing keys? You will find them when you are meant to find them. 
The Ace of Wands is the planted seed waiting for water and sun. It is the birth of a new career, a bright idea, or the spark of creativity. It is the moment just before the launch of something new. The Ace of Wands asks the querent to have courage as they set forth into the next phase.
After the uncontrollable and life-altering Major Arcana cards, this first card in the Minors represents a phase that you yourself can control, so go forth and change your world! The Ace of Wands Before any card: Put emphasis on (card) After any card: Energy, spirit, goals Questions answered by Ace of Wands: Who? Someone starting a new job; the newest employee; a baby What? A stick; A pregnancy; A torch Where? A palace When? Today! June through September, either the entire season of Summer (Northern Hemisphere) or Winter (Southern Hemisphere) Why? It is time to take the leap Yes or No? Yes! The Ace of Wands as: ...an action?
...a place in your house?
...a place in your city?
...a place in the world?
...something to clean?
...where to find the missing item?
...something to eat?
...a color? Red ...a movie theme? Starting brand new
