The Card of the Day: Ace of Wands
Ace of Wands — vik@thetarot.cards

Observations

The “Ace of Wands” is a minor arcana from the suit of wands. Wands are the element of fire. It goes with “I desire” and is your soul.

The “Ace of Wands” shows a large right hand emerging from a cloud offering a sprouted wand. The wand has 18 leaves. There is a magical aura around the hand. The landscape in this card is lush green with a river flowing through. This landscape is not flat though. In the distance is a castle. Behind the castle in the further distance is a range of purple mountains.

Symbolic Meanings

The right hand is a giving hand. The sprouted wand is the indicator of new ideas, new opportunities, and new possibilities. The castles are representations of dreams and desires. The uneven surfaces are the indicator of hurdles. The rivers are the indicators of constant change.

Colors & Numbers

One of the prominent colors in this card is blue which is the indicator of truth and clarity. The white color is the indicator of purity. The purple color in the mountains is for spirituality. The green color in the landscape is for growth and prosperity.

The Ace is the first card in any minor arcana sequence. Which is number 1 and it indicates oneness, indivisibility. However, as the first card in the sequence, it also means it is just the beginning and the outcomes are not certain. There are 18 leaves on the wand which resolves to a single-digit number 9 (1+8). Number nine is “The Hermit” in major arcana with a key meaning of self-exploration or pathfinder.
