In the picture

Four wands topped with a garland of flowers and fruit form a canopy. Two figures raise bouquets in celebration, with a crowd and a castle behind them.

Upright meaning

The Four of Wands is a celebration: a homecoming, a wedding, a finished milestone, a happy gathering. It points to stability, community and a sense of belonging. Enjoy what you have built together.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the party is muted. There may be tension at home, plans that fall through, or a feeling of not quite belonging. The foundations are still there; it may just be a time of change.
