Ace of Wands Tarot Card Meaning
What Ace of Wands means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Ace of Wands shows a hand reaching from a cloud, holding a wand that is sprouting leaves. It belongs to the suit of Wands, the element of fire (passion, action and challenge), and its rank carries the theme of beginnings and seeds (Ace). An Ace is a spark, not yet a result. Move while the wish is fresh, or it goes out.
