Four of Wands Meaning [Reversed]
The four wands sometimes suggest tension, arguments, or even a breakdown within your home and family in its reversed position. The trust and support you should be able to depend on have worn away, creating anxiety.
If this sounds familiar, there's no time to waste. It will help if you look for realistic solutions to improve your situation.
Another reason the four of wands appears reversed is to offer you low-key congratulations. Suppose you've overcome a personal problem or beaten a private demon. In that case, you may not want to boast of your achievements too publicly. However, this tarot card can do that for you. So if you've given up coffee, started the couch to 5k challenge, or quit smoking, the celebrations are still visible but suspended in mid-air.
Key Points - Love [Reversed]
- The reversed four of wands is a tarot card isn't great news for romantic relationships. When this appears, there's some kind of conflict in the air. Maybe your family and friends don't approve of your lover, or you are keeping things secret for some reason.
- Whatever the motivations, the reversed four of wands suggests reluctance or resistance when it comes to your relationships going public. Or perhaps you are holding back from committing.
- This tarot card needs you to think carefully about what's going on. If you are scared, perhaps you can conquer those feelings.
- Basically, you should figure out if your relationship can or should move forward.
Key Points - Money [Reversed]
- The four of wands tarot often appears in reverse when your financial position is unstable. Quite often, the driving factors here are family or domestic demands.
- Don't be afraid to look for free advice on debt management or budgeting. If you are shelling out cash to support others, it might be time to get tough.
- Whatever else you do, resist lending money to either friends or family unless they have a very genuine need. You are in a vulnerable position, and your priority must be self-care.
Key Points - Career [Reversed]
- In the reverse position, the four of wands threaten stability, which manifests as tensions in the workplace. This can create issues between colleagues or between employees and employers.
- Another possibility is a chaotic work environment. Here the tensions are in the way things operate, rather than between those who work there. Heavy workloads, poor planning, or unworkable systems can all cause problems.
- Commit time to address these challenges. That may involve moving on if you can do nothing to recover the situation.
