Suit of Wands Meanings
Fourteen cards, Ace to King, for fire: drive, creativity, ambition and the energy to start something. Wands tend to show up when a question is about what you want to do and how much fuel you have for it.

How to read the Wands
The numbered cards trace a project from spark to burden: the Ace is a new impulse, the Three and the Six are momentum and recognition, the Ten is carrying more than you should. The Page, Knight, Queen and King show the same fire as a person or an attitude — curious, restless, magnetic, commanding.
Many Wands in a spread point to action and initiative. Reversed, the energy is still there but scattered, stalled or burning out, so the question becomes where it is being spent.
