25-Four of Wands – Reversed Golden Deck

When reversed, the Four of Wands hints at interruptions in completing a project or committing to a relationship. An offer on a house you were hoping to buy may not be accepted. An important goal may go unrealized, as you learn that more work is required to make it a reality. Rather than preoccupying yourself with worry, put your effort into getting the job done. This is generally a positive card, and any delays are likely to be short-lived.

Astrology: Lovely and affectionate Venus (debilitated) in the third decan of fiery Aries, realm of the Waite Knight/Thoth Prince of Disks (Air of Earth) and the Emperor (Aries). Venus is linked to the Empress.
Number Symbolism: 4 – structure, stability, building, order, foundation, manifestation.

Mathers: Society, union, association, concord, harmony; (R) prosperity, success, happiness, advantage.

Complete Book of Tarot: Fact 2: The tarot is simply a deck of seventy-eight cards with imaginative images printed on them. The accuracy of the tarot depends on the intuitive faculties of the reader. Evil does not reside in pieces of cardboard; it is a distinctly human trait. Those who are old enough may recall the introduction to the classic radio program The Shadow: ‘Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!’

Complete Book of Tarot: Myth 3: You must never make a major decision without first consulting the cards.

Complete Book of Tarot: The noted physicist Werner Heisenberg once said (italics mine): ‘What we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning … asking questions about nature in the language that we possess and trying to get an answer from experiment by the means that are at our disposal.’ 21 If we consider the tarot in light of Heisenberg’s statement, reading the cards is our method of questioning, and the answer we receive depends on the language that we possess and the means that are at our disposal. Let’s look at these three ingredients of inquiry described by Heisenberg.

Tarot Triumphs: It’s important to keep this basic premise in mind and see the fundamental practicalities of Tarot reading as a foundation for our own forays into divination. We may study the deeper meanings, long history, and subtle nuances of the Tarot, but if we are going to give readings, the ultimate premise is that of question and answer. So, in this chapter, I invite you to begin as ‘fortune-teller,’ to consult the cards and obtain a reading in a similarly direct and simple way.
