Four of Wands meaning
The upright Four of Wands brings a celebration: a wedding, a housewarming, an anniversary, the completion of an important stage. It is a time to gather with loved ones and mark what you have achieved.
The card also speaks of an inner sense of home: when a person is in the right place and feels supported.
Four of Wands reversed
The reversed Four means a celebration is postponed or overshadowed: tension in the family, an event that falls through, a feeling that home has stopped being a source of support.
Often these are temporary difficulties: the stability is there, it is just hard to feel right now.
