Welcome to our second installment in my four-part series on the tarot suit of wands.

Last time we left off with the three of wands and the energy of positive expectation and positive anticipation. So we pick up today

with the four of wands, which is our next card in this suit. The first thing we notice immediately

here is the bright yellow background,

which is carried over from the bright golden illumination of the three of wands. So if we're

traveling through the suit of wands as a kind of journey, then the four of wands indicates that our

positive anticipation from the

previous card has resulted in a bright, positive, uplifting situation or experience, as depicted

here in the four.

Traditionally, we think of the four as a card of celebration, community, people coming together

to celebrate something. Perhaps there is a family reunion or family event. There's also a strong

sense that this could be a wedding celebration since we have the four ones arranged in a way

to form an altar,

and there are two human figures that stand out in the foreground.

They look maybe like a man and a woman.

But that's not to imply, though, that they are, in fact, a man and a woman.

This could be two women.
