Four of Wands

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!
