Wands

The suit of Fire — passion, creativity, drive, and action.

Wands are the tarot suit of fire — passion, creativity, drive, and the spark of will. When Wands run through a reading, it's about energy and action: ambition, inspiration, the projects and adventures you throw yourself into.

The suit climbs from the Ace of Wands (a pure new spark) through cards of building, competing, and travelling, to the burdens of the Ten. Wands reversed or blocked usually read as that fire stalling — burnout, scattered energy, or drive with no direction.
