General:
This tarot suit of the Minor Arcana is tied deeply to creativity, and it’s association with nature represents the wilds and natural growth. It is from this tie that it represents the heart of creation, the simple seeds in the fertile ground blossoming into great trees of creativity. It also ties into our spirit, the source of ourselves and the reflection of that which we hold dear to our truth.
The Court Cards tend to represent people who are energetic, charismatic, warm, and imbued with a deep sense of spirituality. They can be recognized both by these traits, and have a tendency to be under the associated Fire Signs. (Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries).
If the wands are prominent within a reading, these elements are very prevalent in the persons life. They are in a period of their life that is active, constantly in motion, and by association with a current period of change. Often this means that they’re looking for some form of direction, somewhere to direct all this creative energy that keeps them going each day.
Positive Traits:
The positive aspects of the suit of wands deals with that which keeps us constantly in motion, the concept of self that defines us, and drive, both our inner truth, and that which we show the world. This includes movement in all its forms, and the drives that move us towards innovation and turning ideas into reality.
Negative Traits:
The negative side of this tarot suit include ego, run wild, action without thought, lacking direction, and feeling as though life holds no meaning. These will often turn up when we’re lost in a sort of chaos or malaise, finding ourselves utterly lost but constantly in motion.
It’s easy, in a period of high activity, to become lost, and the Wands can help provide direction when lost in the wilderness of our own ambition. When the wands show up, your work is to help provide your client with direction, and help them find methods to grind out the energy and point it in a useful direction.
