Suit: Wands
Your Card: King of Wands
Chakra: Base Chakra
Key Word: Passion
The King of Wands is in a never-ending wrestling match with the 'royal stag'. The battle is to tame the passions, and harness or control the energy released through the kundalini. In many traditions the stag is a symbol of strength, and purity of the soul. It is also a symbol of male virility. The stag is linked with the 'tree of life' or immortality and to 'the king of kings' or Jesus, but the stag is an even more complex symbol because in addition to virility, power and purity, it also represents timidity and innocence. So when you get this card, you need to consider the context in which it is being seen. In many European traditions the stag is the ultimate symbol of sexual ardor, prudence, healing, poetry and song. Shakespeare made puns on the word 'hart' and 'heart' in Twelfth Night, and there are plenty of myths that involve men changing into a stags. For example, the Celtic god Cernunnos would change into a stag when he was in the forest, and in Greek myth, Artemis turned Actaeon into a stag because he glimpsed her bathing, and Heracles third task was to capture the stag with golden antlers, though Heracles himself didn't change into a stag, he did recapture his honor as predicted by the Delphic Oracle by completing this task and eleven others which are known as "The Twelve Labor's of Hercules." In Cambodian literature the stag was the herald of fire. To sum up let's look at a quote found in the Hermetic tract 'The Book of Lambspring' "...the deer desires no other name than that of soul...he that knows how to tame and master...may justly be called Master." So, the majesty of the stag which is part of the King of Wands is part of his power and allure. The King of Wands is a very charismatic and charming person. He's that guy with a lot of sex appeal for both sexes, regardless of their orientation. He has animal magnetism, and pheromones that keep him in the spotlight, even if he doesn't want to be there. He probably uses 'his powers' to good advantage, often he'll be overly promiscuous, but he may be the other extreme and harbor his pent-up energy for other purposes. If he understands his power, and can tame it, then there's no stopping him.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Queen of Wands
Chakra: Heart Chakra
Key Word: Generous
The Queen of Wands, aided by her stave, quickly climbs to the highest point on the mountain top. Her stride is long and confident. She likes stories, and has a cadre of them, when she tells one, she doesn't hold back. She is opinionated, a revolutionary at the core, so her words can seem scorching at first, but her aim is not to envelope you, but to include you, she is only using what you offer as fuel for the fire. She is hardy, and laughs easily, knowing that there is nothing to worry about. She is confident in her abilities, and isn't really judgmental, she'll tease you and fully expects to be teased; it keeps her humble and real. Don't over react to her fiery nature. She only wants to be your friend. Burning the candle at both ends is not unusual for her. In fact, it's how she best thrives. Like the flame of an open fire, she is warm and welcoming but don't sit too close, or you risk getting scorched. Quick witted, and physically adept, she is as graceful and agile in the boardroom as she is on a ski slope or roller blades. She's a very well rounded and adventurous person, but she's hard to keep up with. This card indicates a positive turn of events, either someone you know or you yourself should be beaming with confidence. You are attracting the right people and the right situations to you. The Queen of Wands says don't worry about a thing, just maintain the effortless enthusiasm that has propelled you this far, and you'll find yourself on the top of the mountain in no time.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Knight of Wands
Chakra: Sacral Chakra
Key Word: Alchemical
The Knight of Wands is a very energetic young man who possesses what the Egyptians term "Intelligence of the Heart." When rational though and intuitive feeling are joined, it is called the "conjunction of the Overself" in alchemy. Simply put, the "Overself" is the ability to maintain "presence of mind;" it is the ability to maintain the state of awareness or inner knowing that we are all connected and one. It is when our personality gives way to our higher-self. Once this state is attained it allows us to see the big picture for the greater good all the time. This state of mind is something that must be practiced however. As the joining of the two aspects of both male and female elements becomes easier for the Knight of Wands to maintain, he creates distance from judgmental or emotional behavior no matter what happens, and he remains calm. Practice maintaining your presence of mind no matter what emotions well up in you. When you come across inconsiderate or spiteful behavior in others, remind yourself that this is a refection of something within yourself. All problems, every miscommunication, every annoying person, every confusing situation is an opportunity to practice the development of the "Overself." You can tell you are maintaining this state when you laugh at stupid things that used to make you angry. When you keep your cool and you don't lash out at someone's insensitivity towards you. You are maintaining the "Overself." This card indicates growth in the ability to maintain the enlightened understanding that we are all connected. The conjunction of the male and female aspects of self manifest in the sacral chakra, so getting this card indicates the beginning of personal transformation and the empowerment of your true consciousness. This card indicates a slow release of kundalini power. It indicates a quick resolution to any worries you've had. This maintained conscious connection to the divine self is the true domain of the Knight of Wands, and it results in lightning fast thought. Thoughts are transmuted into reality effortlessly through the use of his stave. The Knight of Wands is in principle a magician in training. The alchemist of Iran's 14th century. The Knight of Wands is quick tempered and can come off as arrogant in argument. This is because he knows the truth of our existence, and that there is no cause for worry, so when pressed he dismisses ill behavior and his dismissal can be misread as disdain. His curious nature presses him forward compelling him further into the depths of wisdom. He has mastered the three archetypal celestial forces that the alchemists termed Sulfur, Mercury, and Salt, which are not chemicals at all, but our feelings, thoughts, and body. He can help you master yours as well.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Page of Wands
Chakra: Solar Plexus Chakra
Key Word: Ambition
Behind dark eyes is an all consuming flame. The Page of Wands has only just picked up the torch. He is very talented and ambitious, and he wants to test his new found confidence. With so many options at his disposal, it will be difficult to choose only one area to channel his energy into, but that is his challenge. Igniting the passions is easy for the Page of Wands, but deciding the best way to direct all of that creative energy can be problematic. If he decides to help others, his passion will generate opportunities for him, but on the other extreme, if he acts selfishly, he may find that he gets burned by those around him. He is just learning to wield the fire of his will and direct its flow into something that he is passionate about. He has a lot to learn, and he has a difficult time remembering humility. Once he has decided how he will pursue his ambitions, all the rest will fall into place for good or ill. One of his lessons is learning to wait and receive. His tendency is to force his will to the exclusion of everything else. If he does this continually, he will burn out. When you get the Page of Wands you will probably experience sudden bursts of emotion and frenetic behavior. The Page of Wands means there are a number of different options available. The best option is to move forward with one focal point in mind, but the task is deciding where to place that forceful energetic touch. Reversed: Tantrums, fits of laughter, or angry outbursts are indicated when the Page of Wands is reversed. Growing pains can happen physically, emotionally, and psychically or spiritually. You are having growing pains. The more you are able to relax and go with the flow, the easier it will be to integrate your new found power. Ambition is another way of saying "remember your dreams." Keep your dreams in the forefront of your mind, and when you experience tantrums good or bad, psychic or physical, know that changes are taking place and that growth is assured.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Ten of Wands
Chakra: Base Chakra
Key Word: Finale
The Ten of Wands is the sigh at the end of the day, the letting go of any worry or desired outcome and appreciating what is, and what we have. The setting sun through the trees reminds us that in the end, it is not so much what we accomplished, but how we got there that counts. The trees represent not only growth, triumph, and accumulation, but depending on the circumstance, they conversely represent any blocks we have experienced in reaching our goals. We must work with all of the elements in tandem to see good results. When we are rooted in one way of thinking, we diminish our ability to grow. We run the risk of become stunted, unwilling to compromise, and experiencing difficulty in finding nourishment. If we stay open, allowing the breeze to sway us, the earth, water and light to nurture us then we will continue to mature, become stronger and more able to expand and share our resources with others to make a stronger natural system. Trees keep the soil in place and give us life enhancing oxygen, shade and food. Without them the earth would be overexposed. We need others to enhance our appreciation of what we experience. When we can let go of our desires and discriminate between what is real and unreal, what are true accomplishments versus simple activities, we will know through intense contemplation that we are part of a large united system, the ultimate mind if you will, and effortlessly, we will know how to continually enhance this natural system. Reversed: If our goal is to shine like the sun, full of light, warmth and color then we must break thought the cycle of samsara (ongoing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth) to the light from within. You have achieved much, but always remember your divinity and be thankful.

Your Card: Nine of Wands
Chakra: Crown Chakra
Key Word: Zenith
The Nine of Wands represents a rest period in your life because you have accomplished what you set out to do. When you get this card, you should draw your community together to help you celebrate your achievement. Recognize your skill and welcome the rest and relaxation. You deserve to use the reset button on occasion, use it wisely. Through awakened Kundalini you are experiencing the height of expectorations. Sometimes Kundalini is awakened violently. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were decimated in WWII, but out of the horror there emerged new heights in architecture. Kenzo Tange's building style has influence the world, and it has paved the way for new innovations in Japanese art and architecture. The Nine of Wands represents the ultimate achievement of man overcoming all obstacles and creating a more robust future. In White Light Tarot the Nine of Wands are streaks of light against mirrored glass of a modern building's windows. The idea is the expression of human innovation, whether found in a building, a heart valve, language, god, cloning, a fast engine, the international space station, instant coffee or nano-technology, whatever your notion of the pinnacle of achievement of man, this is it. You have achieved your highest point. Celebrate.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Eight of Wands
Chakra: Throat Chakra
Key Word: Emanate
In the Eight of Wands we see a temple based on the one at Ephesus. In this image, the temple's pillars are the actual eight wands reaching up towards the heavens. Stately, stable, the pillars course with energy. The fires are lit around them to burn away any fear and ineffectualness, and to energize our thoughts into actions. The temple at Ephesus was dedicated to Artemis and became one of the 'Seven Wonders of the Ancient World'. Artemis was worshiped as a fertility goddess, but she is also a deity dedicated to purity. Twin to Apollo, she is a huntress with bow and arrow, able to aim high and spot on. When you get the Eight of Wands, take your time, do not speak too soon and think before you act. The fires of ritual burn bright under a starry sky. The communion of the elements of fire and air create the environment where you can rededicate yourself to whatever task is yours to do. Bring spirit and flesh together into one magnificent being. Burn away any doubt, and emanate your true self, your hopes and desires for yourself, for your community, for mankind and the planet. Communicate your highest goals for the good of all, and give thanks right now. Sacrifice to the gods, by pouring a bit of wine, mead, beer, or plain clear water in honor of them. They appreciate your efforts, and will assist you in moving you forward. Release your energy to heaven, and allow your energy to rise like smoke from the fire.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Seven of Wands
Chakra: Sacral Chakra
Key Word: Diversity
In Dante's Inferno at the seventh circle, Virgil leads Dante into the suicide forest. It is a sad forest, full of wailing, loss and unmet desires. From The Purgatorio Canto XIII : "The Spirit explained how suicides came to be sad trees: Minos sent them to the seventh circle as seeds, to sprout where they fell. After the last judgment they would bring their bodies down, but would not inhabit them, since as suicides they had no right to take them again: instead they would hang their bodies on their trees." The imagery of Dante's suicide forest is used to demonstrate the despair that surrounds you: In the Seven of Wands a young pregnant woman full of life and hope walks alone through a forest of sad faces. Her responsibilities feel heavier as she walks through this forest of unsupportive jeering, self-absorbed connections. Alone, she must learn to trust herself, develop her character and pay no mind to the naysayers. It is easy to lose hope when you are surrounding by negativity. Don't be a 'sad sack' hanging from a tree of despair. We are all pregnant with hope and possibility which we can grow. We develop character by calling upon our internal supports when faced with adversity, hostility and feeling alone. Do not give up, the Seven of Wands is saying, for within you is the seed of possibility, renewal and growth. Keep after your dreams; you will get through this forest of negativity. If you are brave you will succeed. Do not let your guard down, but be brave and press onward!

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Six of Wands
Chakra: Brow Chakra
Key Word: Inward
A figure is seated on the stone in the forest. He takes his form from Auguste Rodin's sculpture "The Thinker." In 1880, Rodin aimed to depict Dante at the gates of hell, in the traditional heroic statuary style - like Michelangelo's David. "The Poet" as Rodin called it, became "The Thinker" by the time it was finished in 1902. The seated figure has come to represent higher learning, philosophy, and man's internal struggle - an icon of intellectual activity. In the Six of Wands our thinker sits on a rock in a grove of birch trees. He is journeying inward, yet psychically radiating outwardly his inner most energy. His presence penetrates through the forest's floor, helping him to ground. The energy recycles back to him, wrapping him in peace, tranquility, and gratitude. Soothing his worry and allowing him to radiate his inner most self outward without fear. His thoughts and breath fall into sync with mother earth's, the two are one and reverberate and pulse with nurturing energy. His victory is in allowing this natural communion and knowing he is capable of serenity. The achievement that is celebrated externally is often hollow, those that we celebrate internally, are much more lasting. Connect with your breath, connect with the earth. You have worked hard, thought hard, loved hard and what you have done has paid off internally if not externally. Breathe to clear your worries, breathe to renew your connection. Go inward.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Five of Wands
Chakra: Solar Plexus Chakra
Key Word: Imprisioned
This is a very complex symbol. Problems must be solved with skill, and belief in ones abilities is at issue. The feeling that this card represents is an inability to cope with what lies in front of you. Ultimately, in combining the spiral, eye and red hand into one symbol, what we have is knowledge imprisoned in flesh. The fingers and thumb are the five wands. Wands direct energy from the spark of imagination through to manifestation. In this painting, the color red represents the physical manifestation of our bodies, and the spiral represents our own ability to create, and the eye is our true inner knowing. We must first recognize our abilities as real and meaningful before we can manifest our destiny. The imprisonment is only in our minds, but our minds are very powerful. Recognize your mind's role in whatever holds you back. Breaking through your limitations is the task at hand (so to speak.) This is a very powerful symbol to meditate on, as it strikes not only the root chakra, and psychic chakra but also the solar plexus. This image could help banish fear and oppression, and help you connect to your internal bodhisattva.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Four of Wands
Chakra: Brow Chakra
Key Word: Psychic Force
The stability of the four pillars, allow you to call in your forces, and build anew. It is time for you to harvest the stored energy. Just like a piece of fruit is the accumulation of the stored energy that started as a seed, you have within you something that is ready for harvest. Energetically, now is the time to call in your creative abilities and force them to a focal point. A departure for the usual image of fruit trees heavy with fruit, in the Four of Wands a human figure is atop the four pillars of thought, or the foundation of knowledge. The figure is actively calling in the four winds, and the energy amassing in and around the human form is about to be released in an immense psychic blast. Note that in this card the human figure is calling in his forces, he has yet to focus them. The energy is immense and when he is ready, he will have amassed great wealth of energy. How he harvests that energy has yet to be determined. Other four pillars symbols include the concept of destiny in Chinese astrology and Feng Shui. Our destiny is made of the four parts of Fate, marked by the year, month, hour and minutes of our birth. In the Green Party the four pillars are ecological wisdom, social justice, grassroots democracy, and nonviolence. For the Moldova nation the four pillars are a declaration of independence as a small separatist nation in Eastern Europe. All of these uses of the four pillars have one thing in common they have declared their destiny, by using the four pillars to create a stable support for their beliefs. Harness your energy in a stable environment and you'll see the fruits of your labor. It is time for you to channel your abilities, appetites, and creativity into a powerful force. The pillars are the four wands, which offer the foundation for clarity and letting go of limitation. This card is about freedom and creation. Your destiny is to declare you are master of your own fate, work with the Moirae, the Fates in Greek mythology, the Parcae, the Fates in Roman mythology, the Norns, the Fates in Norse mythology, and the Matres an ancient version of the Fates from northwestern Europe, and stabilize your environment, stabilize your beliefs, stabilize your body and then let go of limitations by focusing your energies on creating your true destiny with an immense psychic blast.

Your Card: Three of Wands
Chakra: Heart Chakra
Key Word: Bliss
The old master Joseph Campbell said, 'Follow your bliss.' The bind-rune for joy and growth is carved on the middle tree in White Light Tarot's Three of Wands. Following your bliss means continuously growing, and expanding and purposefully finding ways of expressing joy, and appreciation. When you get the Three of Wands you need to do the thing that is effortless, that makes you feel good. Find your bliss, and follow it.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Two of Wands
Chakra: Throat Chakra
Key Word: Steady
Mounting courage to take on a task, slow and steady, you are in control of your actions, and you may have some control over others, use it wisely. A kind yet stern nature is indicated when you get the Two of Wands. In this image, the rising sun beats down on two standing staves in a lake. Perhaps the last remnants of a standing stones worship ring. The energetics represented is subtle yet powerful, as the Two of Wands examines the internal sources of passion and drive. The message is one of steadfastness, clarity and dynamism. Although the standing stones seem unmoving, over millennia, they move as does the earth around them. Sun, water, rock and sky combine to make this place energetically fluid and dynamic creating a sacred space. You have managed to create that sacred space within yourself. Drink in the image of the stones rising from the water into a burning sky. Experience the ability to 'steady on' in any situation. Burn through any issues that you feel are holding you back to the solid solution underneath. Communicate your fluidity and solid commitment along with your burning desire to see whatever you need to through to the end, but remember to breathe and keep space within to renew and balance your energies wisely.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: Ace of Wands
Chakra: Crown Chakra
Key Word: Furnace
Focus your mind and stay stoked. The Ace of Wands card means the beginning of enterprise and adventure, the start of releasing power, energy and passion, or the inkling of intuition. The power of the Ace of Wands largely is enthusiasm and feeling compelled to take action. When you get this card it is a signal that the spark of spirit necessary for the rise of Kundalini energy is taking place. Kundalini is Sanskrit for 'coiled up'. Tantric yoga uses the term to describe energy stored at the base of the spine in a coil of subtle chakra energies. In English it is sometimes called 'serpent power'. To engage this subtle energy, yogis use postures or breathing techniques. Sometimes being excited or eager can also cause this subtle energy to rise up through the Sushumna (center spinal energy conduit) from the root chakra to the crown and back again. While at the same time the subtle energies swirl and combine through the Ida (left feminine channel) and Pingala (right male channel) in a rush to escape through the crown. This is the opening of the chakra energy system. Control is necessary to further enhance the opening of the subtle energies, and to use them, so you might want to practice Pranayama breathing techniques. It is essentially yogic breathing. Breathing slowly with full inhalations and exhalations, in three parts allows us to slow the release of Kundalini and control the energy. These techniques are part of pranic healing. The Wands are the most mutable of the suits, hence the most adaptable, and the most prone to quick evolution and revolution. When you get the Ace of Wands you are demonstrating passion about some aspect of your life, and you are in a position to experience some kind of ramped-up change that will come on suddenly. Remain passionate, but temper it with sound judgment because the Wands will let you burn the candle at both ends, if you don't watch out, and you'll burnout quickly. The Wands are the phallic equivalent of the Empress' womb-like warmth. Celebration, creativity, and ambition forge together in the fiery furnace that holds the essence of the Wands. Celebrate your ideals passionately.

Suit: Wands
Your Card: King of Wands Reversed
Chakra: Base Chakra
Key Word: Passion
Kundalini energy if released prematurely can be very scary and painful. Emotional or life threatening situations can manifest a rise in Kundalini energy without the person understanding what's happening to them. The body quakes or vibrates involuntarily, and the Kundalini reenergizes or turns-on the repressed emotional (psychosomatic) areas of the mind. If left unchecked, the rising energy forces old trauma to manifest in dreams, and as past life memories. In most people the complete rise of 'serpent power' is blocked because of our psycho-social upbringing. Hatha yoga has asanas that are designed to engage and release it in a more controlled manner, and meditation and yoga practice can help tame the Kundalini if released too quickly. When the Kundalini awakens involuntarily, it can feel unrelenting. In most instances, it burns away and heals old wounds, but the passions may be ignited as it happens. If you get the King of Wands reversed, you're probably in for a bumpy emotional ride. The passions will be aflame as the karma is clearing. The process often is very intense, and you will probably feel exhausted, but by clearing away old emotional baggage, you'll make room for new experiences in life. It won't be easy, but once you get through this, you'll never have to do it again.

Chakra: Heart Chakra
Key Word: Generous
When you get the Queen of Wands reversed, it probably means you're acting like a brat. This fiery lady won't back down, and coercion isn't pretty. Whatever is going on, even if you're right, you can't win by being a bully. Eagerness to jump head long into something isn't everyone's cup of tea. Your teasing may have turned into malicious mockery. If you've crossed the line, apologize. Being annoyed won't get things done any quicker. You may need to find another strategy to get where you want to go.

Your Card: Knight of Wands Reversed
Chakra: Sacral Chakra
Key Word: Alchemical
Like King Philip IV of France indebted to the Knights Templar, and purposefully burning them at the stake to get out of repaying his debt, someone or some aspect of yourself is trying to undermine your power. Although the date doesn't actually correspond to Friday the 13th, the arrest of the Knights Templar on October 13, 1307 has become associated with the unluckiness of Friday the 13th. You're walking around with a little black cloud over your head, and you'll lose your energy if you continue doing what you're doing, or associating with someone that isn't honoring you. The Knights Templar controlled great wealth and power throughout Europe and the Middle East. This monastic order was the first international organization, and lasted almost 400 years. The Knights Templar were brought down by a new papal regime and economic strain. The story of the demise of the Knights Templar, or their "fall from grace" indicates that you're not recognizing your indebtedness to your higher self. You are on your way to getting what you desire out of life, recognize that you have a controlling interest in what happens and undertake to give thanks for your "Overself" making sure that you stay connected to the greater white light web of life.

You feel you've not lived up to your potential in some way. If you continue to worry about what you neglected to do, you'll only exacerbate the problem. Diversion isn't always bad, and sometimes it is necessary to find the next development along the path to the ultimate achievement. Diversity is from the same root as diversion, so don't worry about how it will all come together in the end, you may not be able to see the end in sight, but eventually things will come together. We are always building upon our skills in some way if we are actively participating in the creation process. Don't sit on the couch and stew in front of the TV. Go out and find something that interests you and dig in, don't worry about the consequences of your actions unless it might hurt someone or yourself. If that's the case, then correct your misdeeds, but otherwise, find new and interesting ways to reach your own potential.

You may have missed your chance this time around, but opportunities come and go. If you get the Eight of Wands reversed, don't worry about it too much, not every opportunity is for the taking, but you sort of missed the boat on this one. You'll need to raise your energy back up, as you've lost the flow for now. If it is something that you need to do, then the situation will arise again. Only next time you'll recognize it, and you'll be prepared to act. Carpe Diem because the only time we have is the present moment.

Chakra: Sacral Chakra
Key Word: Diversity
You may feel emotionally lost, or you may have let your guard down a little too far. Sometimes we have to decide for ourselves who has our best interests at heart. We need to give ourselves a little sound advice. Unsolicited advice is often given by people needing advice, and the advice they offer is about their own needs and requirements for peace of mind. A version of 'do what I say, not what I do.' This is not to say you shouldn't share your feelings or your problems with others, just to say always take advice with a grain of salt. Think for yourself and don't simply do a thing because you were advised to do so and it was touted as 'good advice.'

Chakra: Brow Chakra

You may be trying to hard when you get the Six of Wands reversed. Finding new connections isn't as hard as you think. Engage and enlarge your sphere of influence simply by deciding to allow connections to appear. Learning something new takes concentration, but actually understanding it can take a lifetime. There are many different aspects to 'connections' and 'learning.' Passion plays a role in our abilities, so does inspiration. So use your passions to inspire. Remembering that we are much more than we appear to be can help us to maintain our optimism, the rods or wands are about passion and development of spiritual connection. Although cliché, an optimistic attitude will more often than not lead to some sort of victory, even if that victory doesn't receive external acknowledgment, it will probably lead to connections you can't even imagine. So don't get hung-up on why things are like they are, just do your best and stay optimistic. The connections will come as you learn. Be open.

Put into practice what you know is true. You can banish fear and oppression. Give yourself permission to use your hands creatively. You can here to learn, to love and explore the extent of your power. Exercise your creative abilities; create something. We are more than we appear to be, your hands are gateways to reiki energy. Harness that healing for a better world. Some studies in Japan have found that we radiate light biochemically, and our hands and fingernails emit the most particles. Use your hands wisely, and value the human characteristics that we can express with our hands.

The problem is you loose power every time you focus on the problem. This is not to say that you shouldn't question authority, or find a better way to do something. It is to say stay focused on the solution. Stay focused on what you think you really want, right now. That may change, and that's okay, but stay focused on what you want, not on what you don't want. The limitations that you let go of allow you to create a larger psychic force or area of what you do want. This is as potent as your instinctual drives, because it is one of them. The chemicals in our brains are what create our destiny as much as anything else, so endeavor to create an environment that helps you harnesses your energy in a way that will help you harvest your highest goals and ideals. Focus on what you want, and call the energy to you.

You may be having trouble finding joy in your life. If you are feeling stunted in some area or malnourished in some way, find a way to supplement your emotional life to get back your spark and passion. When you get the Three of Wands reversed, the cards are saying you might not be experiencing full fledged depression, but feeling uneasy or sad isn't easy to live with, so find small ways to make yourself feel better that help you recognize yourself again. If you don't know what makes you happy, don't sink into food, alcohol or drugs as an escape, find something that is productive that will help you connect with others. Inspirational movies and books, book clubs or even a walk in the park where you can pat a few dogs might help you feel better when you're out of sorts. Do things that you enjoy doing. This card is telling you to take action, to add pleasure and passion into your life.

Your Card: Ace of Wands Reversed
Chakra: Crown Chakra
Key Word: Furnace
If you keep up this pace, you'll burn out. Sometimes you need to let the fire burn down to coals. Let the flames die down, listen to the charcoal hiss and pop, watch the subtle flicker of the red coals. Coals are actually hotter than flames, and they work much better for toasting marshmallows. Marshmallows in flames simply burn up, but marshmallows over coals roast to a golden brown. Don't be in such a rush, you have all the energy you need to do whatever it is you want to do, but you should allow for it to happen gradually. Patience.
