Upright
New ideas, people, or events that inspire you.
The Ace of Wands
“Ooh, that’s a good one.”
Reversed
Delays after inspiration, a blockage of creative energy
You know the feeling— a brilliant idea that comes from nowhere. That spark of something new and yet just right for you. That sudden idea, event, or even person that makes you go “Ooh, that’s a good one,” and gets you excited to immediately spring into action. That’s the Ace of Wands at work: a hand from seemingly nowhere giving you what you need to light the fire.
When the ace is reversed, it doesn’t mean the feeling isn’t there; it means you’re having trouble realizing it into action. There may be delays or difficulties. It also could be that you are having trouble realizing the feelings, and having creative block.
