Ace of Wands – simplicity, because this disencumbers
us to move forward. To maintain
simplicity do not allow details to snag or detain you, or the negative
attitudes and opinions of others to deflate you or slow you down. As both the aces and the suit of wands
signify renewal, this card represents an intensely strong urge toward renewal,
and maybe something quite different from what came before. Adds to 5 on the level of 3, meaning a great
enthusiasm (5) for reaching out to opportunities (3), or creating them for
oneself.
Two of Wands – invention, surprising and exciting. Breaking out of patterns, sometimes
spontaneously and without your conscious knowledge that you’re doing it. Breaking free of addictions. Something purely new and original. 24 = 6 X 4, or Venus times Scorpio, appreciation
(6) of creativity and transformation (4).
These wonderful insights emerge out of the silence, so going into the
silence is a means of contacting creativity.
Renewing of our attunement to our own most creative and original part.
Three of Wands – acceptance (of our life being guided
by spiritual forces, and letting this happen).
Intuitively tapping into the workings of spiritual energy, and not
letting questioning, reasoning and logic get in the way of that, for spiritual
energy has wisdom that moves so fast it goes beyond these things. Passionate idealism. Negatively the Three of Wands can mean
getting fired up about unrealistic fantasies or delusions, or fiery confusion
that moves too fast and gets us into trouble.
It can also mean subtle, vague things which we need to focus on and take
the time to experience so that we can learn more about their true nature and
take in the subtle messages they may have to offer. The Neptunian visions of the Three of Wands
can be intensely vivid, inspiring and marvelous, which can manifest profound
healing as we take them in.
Four of Wands – Artfulness. Ability to turn lack into advantage, because
we see that we always have something to learn from lack and limitation. Continually renewed enthusiasm and optimism. Enthusiasm for growth. Growth of creativity. Renewal of optimism. 26 is 2 X 13, those numbers adding up to 15,
meaning that limitation can induce spiritual expansion. Negatively speaking the Four of Wands may
mean too much fire, a tendency to overheat, which is why we need artfulness to
control and direct the fire.
Five of Wands – Altruism –not just the giving of
money, but of time and energy. People
often think that when they have enough then they’ll be able to give to others,
but the truth is that whatever is given to others always comes back to ourselves
in a greater amount than we actually gave.
Giving our loving attention to
others. Attention is a healing
force. Containing and focusing of our creative
energies. Negatively speaking, the Five
of Wands is the repression, limiting or holding back of our creative
energies. We need to Prevent the fire
from getting out of control, but without repressing it. Five of Wands is the furnace, which is a
stove we use to cook up nourishing foods both material and spiritual, and make
the things that will benefit us. The
deepening of one’s spiritual understanding.
9 X 3 = 27, so 27 is Leo times Libra – joyfulness in relating and the
connecting of our self-expression to others.
Six of Wands – Totality, spiritual purpose. Renewed purpose and the refining of purpose. Burning away those things which stand in the
way of our self-esteem and self-worth. The
spiritualized ego, which causes our own self-love to help others find in
themselves love of their own spiritual selves.
The realization that we are totally connected to everything, which
ultimately results in joy. 28 is the
second perfect number, so it is perfection coming into the realm of duality and
physicality. When we truly embrace
totality we realize that we are everything and everything is us. We are one with all.
On a more mundane level the Six of Wands is us getting fired
up about our purpose. We approach our
life work with creativity and sparkling energy.
Seven of Wands – Commitment. Taking spiritual based (Wands) action (Mars)
is the highest commitment. Renewal of
purpose. Never worry about falling off
the wagon – just get back on! Basing our
self-confidence on our spiritual certainty rather than on what is going on in
the outer world, which is ultimately fleeting and illusory. Take the initiative to make magic meaning
that you pour energy into creating joy and bliss and deconstructing your own
negative thoughts and beliefs.
Eight of Wands – Lightness. Fiery desire, which, when we accept it we can
learn from it. When we overcome the
tendency to create adversarial relationships, we grow light. Lightness has much to do with
acceptance. Lightness is generous and
accepting – it sees things for what they are without judging them. Developing the ability to love things we
would never have loved previously. When
we make mistakes and/or “fall off the wagon” we transcend guilt by loving
ourselves and appreciating our process.
30 is the cosmic scale number of Pisces, the sign of letting go. To lighten up means to let go.
Nine of Wands – Leadership. Our own original way of expressing
ideas. Fast thinking. Spiritualizing one’s communication. The mind’s reception of spiritual
energy. Finding new and maybe inspired
ways of saying things. New ideas. Willingness to embrace ideas that may seem
irrational, but which are joyful and feel right. Non-judgementalism.
Ten of Wands – Preservation. Clearing traumas of the past. Spiritual insight into one’s history and the
burning away of negative emotions concerning memories. A creative approach to everyday living. Emotional fire, which is love. Tracking with the fires of your emotions as
they shift and change. Renewing the
energy of your home. Revitalization
through contact with nature.
Horseman of Wands – Mindfulness = continually
bringing oneself back to the present. Let
your attitude be light and bright, the two ingredients of joyfulness. Be aware of where your mind is going and
where it is focusing. Mindfulness is
self-observation, inside and out. Just
be aware of where your putting your attention.
Do spontaneous rituals to bring creativity into the moment. Mindfulness heals inertia. Allow creativity to manifest. 33 = 3 X 11, those numbers adding to 14
showing that steadiness and stamina are needed to do these things, and that 33
is a type of alchemy, an easy and workable type in that it’s so simple. 33 adds to 6, and is 6 on the level of 4, or
love taking tangible form. Taking the
initiative to love.
King of Wands – Strength.
34 adds to 7: To make a new
beginning, as Aries does, requires transcending (7), and especially what we
need to transcend is our attempts at “trying.”
We need to let our creativity and urges express themselves rather than
attempting to push them by “trying.”
Strength is based on relaxation.
When we relax we find our center.
Strength lies in self-assurance.
The King of Wands is beyond the issue of trying – he just does what he
does and never lets any lack of self-assurance stand in the way. 34 minus 13 (the number of the Major Arcana
Card ruled by Aries) equals 21, showing that taking on the role of the King of
Wands requires focusing on what is most important: our spiritual awareness. Do not worry about not being prepared.
Queen of Wands – adventure. (Dramatize yourself. Be a mirror reflecting the spiritual
light. Know that your self-assurance
comes from attuning to your spiritual self.
Use all that you have to express yourself – 35 = 8 = Capricorn, “I
use.” Express joy. 7 X 5
= 35, and 7 + 5 = 12, so self-expression requires letting go and letting your
intuitive self take over. Even if you
don’t feel joy, expressing it can cause you to find it within yourself. If self-expression is to be creative, it will
always be an adventure. 35 – 19 = 16, so
to take on the rule of the Queen of Wands you need to be assertive, to take
initiative, to create. The image of this
hexagram is connected to a radiant sun.
Princess of Wands – Humanity. This is about staying open, not shutting
down. If we remain open it encourages
others to be open, and then we are contacting each others’ humanity. Be the one who takes the high road, and do it
with love. 36 is the first 8 numbers all
added together, so this is about the completion of karma (8), and when karma is
completed, transcendence (Sagittarius) is the result. Generosity of spirit and reaching out to
others, getting above and beyond barriers and obstacles so we can connect. What’s important is what’s cosmic.
Ace of Coins – equality, which is always achieved through
flexibility, and which brings us greater freedom (Uranus, for this card’s number is 37,
and 3 + 7 = 10). The difference between
37 and 22 is 15, signifying that the Ace of Coins focuses transformative
(Plutonian) energy.
Mental obsession. Intensity of communication. Experiencing a communication
breakthrough.
Two of Coins – Perseverance.
It takes perseverance to free the mind of its mechanical patterns and
compulsions. Inspired thinking. Sudden or unexpected breaking or forming of
connections. Finding your own unique way
of communicating. Seeing two sides to
things. Breaking away from old ways of
thinking.
Three of Coins – Dynamism, which is uplifting energy that
can release our blockages. Negatively,
the Three of Coins signifies murky, obscure, or unformed throughts, which can
cause miscommunications. Positively it
signifies psychic, intuitive communication that is deep, clear and cosmic . The
psychic communication is shown by 39 adding to 12, which is Pisces.
Four of Coins – Resolve.
Expanding on ideas and following them through all the way. Keeping thinking and communicating
positive. Not allowing ourselves to
become overwhelmed with thoughts and ideas.
40 is the cosmic scale number of Aries, and so the expansion of
communication requires the ability to continually take a fresh approach to it.
Five of Coins – Anticipation. The ability to see where thinking and ideas
are going, as well as to understand what they are really wanting and needing,
and to guide them toward that. Careful,
slow, focused communicating and thinking.
Deep conversations. Talking about
difficult things.
Six of Coins – Detachment.
The beautiful mystery is that we can be fully connected yet completely
detached, which allows us to fully embrace our world without being suppressed
or limited by what it seems to be demanding of us or expecting from us. Letting go of our attachments allows us to be
in clear communication with all aspects of ourselves. Ideally we are connected to everything but
addicted to nothing. 42 adds to 6, for
true detachment is love, for when we are not attached we can appreciate things
for what they truly are. When it comes
to communicating, the Six of Coins helps us to focus on what is most
important. The Negative side of the six
of coins is egotistical communication, which tends to defeat and deflate
communication, as it repels others and weakens their tendency to listen.
Seven of Coins – Insight.
Constructive communication. Clearing
negative or destructive connections and building positive, supportive
ones. We can’t make insight happen, it
needs to come to us. The Seven of Coins
is about allowing. If we allow insights
in, we can use them to build constructive communication. Arguments always call for new insights, and
help us to see more about how our mind works as well as how the minds of others
work.
Eight of Coins – Teamwork. Love shared with the ones we’re meant to be
with. When we appreciate our connections
we get more of the same kind of connections we are appreciating. This is the message of the book “The Secret.” Each one of us is a team, and learning how to
love and appreciate the various aspects of ourself promotes team work and heals
inner conflicts.
Nine of Coins – Synergy. Individuals’ mutual and positive stimulation
of each other. Shared ideas. Communication that clarities and stimulates
more ideas and communication. 45 is 1 to
9 added, showing that it completes the Leo energy, meaning a fulness of
self-expression.
Ten of Coins – Delight. Completeness of connection, and tracking with
the way in which connections flow and change.
Being in stimulating and enjoyable rapport with everyday life and each
passing moment. Negatively this card can
mean ideas at a standstill, or communication that is stagnating. When this happens we need to try new ways,
and allow our instincts to take over rather than following mental patterns that
are stuck, circular, and not working.
Horseman of Coins – Transmutation. The forging of new connections, which is
often fueled or triggered by adversity. We
make new connections by reaching out to others and to new opportunities. Transmutation refines, which is shown by 47
adding to 11, the number of refinement.
Bringing more life and creativity into our communicating.
King of Coins – Resourcefulness. Connecting our depth to the depths of
others. When we approach others in an
open-minded fashion we are more likely to bring forth their open-mindedness and
have a richness of connection. This is a
card of diplomacy, which can keep relating on track.
Queen of Coins – Revolution, which always looks toward the
future, and this card is ruled by Aquarius.
This card is about understanding what really does support us, and what
doesn’t. It’s about the effectiveness or
ineffectiveness of our survival strategies.
It’s about helping people to adopt a positive vision of the future, and
about supporting others through friendship.
Princess of Coins – Equillibrium. Sharing information and ideas in a way that
promotes dynamic balance rather than throwing things off course or diverting
away from the most important topic. 50
is the cosmic number of Taurus, even though this card is ruled by Gemini. This shows how much Gemini needs the Taurean
stability and groundedness as an antidote to its tendency toward scattering of
attention and chaos. 50 = 2 X 5 X 5, those three numbers adding up to 12,
showing that a major key to communication is being in sympathetic rapport with whoever
you’re communicating with, and that thinking needs to be grounded in one’s
intuition.
