25-Four of Wands – Reversed Thoth 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.

Number Symbolism: 4 – structure, stability, building, order, foundation, manifestation.

Etteilla: Social success, association, community, alliance, agreement, pact, contract; (R) happiness, good fortune, increase, prosperity.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: Late in the nineteenth century, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn incorporated astrology into its understanding of tarot symbolism. Arthur Edward Waite, a member of the Golden Dawn, instructed artist Pamela Colman Smith (‘Pixie’) to illustrate the numbered or pip cards of the Waite-Smith deck according to her understanding of the influence of the signs of the zodiac on each of the four suits of the tarot. Thus, anyone who uses the Waite-Smith deck is relying on astrological symbolism, often without being aware of it. First published in 1909, the Waite-Smith deck became the most popular tarot of the past hundred years in the English-speaking world. Due to the widespread influence of the Golden Dawn, astrology has played a major role in defining the meanings of today’s tarot cards.
