Wands Meanings in General

The suit of Wands is generally associated with the element of fire. Not surprisingly, astrologically speaking they are associated with the fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. In some decks you will see literal depictions of fire in the art of the cards.

As a broad generalization, Wands relate to career and employment issues, whether for you or for those around you. Wands also relate to movement and possibility in your life and so are not always related to business or career.

In general, literal people who are signified by the suit of Wands will generally be energetic, organized, businesslike, logical, and compassionate.

Wands are also the energy of new beginnings of any kind. Note, for example, in the Rider-Waite deck the new leaves in bud on the ace of Wands. This is active, forward-looking energy. There is also an element of intuition to the Wands suit, so Wands-type people are often very intuitive.

The season most often associated with Wands is the spring. There is a strength inherent in the Wands suit that is not necessarily present in the other suits. Think of the underlying strength of spring. Almost without exception, no matter what humans do on this planet, with their money (Pentacles) or with their wars (Swords) spring of some description will always take place. So, Wands energy definitely includes the concepts of strength, rebirth, and renewal.
