The Turbo Tarot Suit of Wands explained

What is the Suit of Wands?

The Suit of Wands is one of the four suits in the Minor Arcana, consisting of 14 cards. It covers your ambition, creativity, motivation, and that fiery energy inside you that makes you want to get things done.

Think about the things that get you excited. Maybe it's a new project at work, a hobby you've recently picked up, or someone you've just started dating. That dopamine that hits when you get things done, that's what the Wands cards are all about.

But having a lot of energy isn't always a good thing. We as humans take on way too much in modern life: with work, dating, friends, family, on top of taking care of ourselves. And that's why burnout is so common these days. The Wands help us to verify whether we are putting our energy into the right things or not.

Wands cards in a love reading

It's all about that fiery energy in love. How passionate and excited are you in love? Whether you're single or in a long-term relationship.

Maybe you've just met someone and can't stop thinking about them. Maybe you've been together for years and are wondering how to keep things exciting. Or maybe you're putting so much effort into a relationship that you've forgotten about your own needs.

Relationships can get repetitive the longer you go. Same for dating life. The Ace of Wands might encourage you to embrace a new romantic connection or bring some excitement back into an existing relationship, whatever that means in your relationship. 😉

The Four of Wands could be a reminder to appreciate the stability and happiness you've built with someone. Not everything needs to be dramatic to be meaningful. So it's a good card to sit back and reflect. But if you draw the card in the spread where it's something to avoid, then do the opposite!

And the Nine of Wands might make you think about your boundaries. Wands in a love reading help you think about the energy you bring into your relationships, and whether that energy is being returned. In the end, is your love life draining you or fulfilling you?

Wands cards in a work reading

Wands are wonderful cards in a work reading. After all, it's about your ambition and motivation.

We all work to earn money, but we need to take care of our mental health along the way. The cards will help you think about whether you should continue to drive towards your career, take a step back, or find something new, entirely.

Some cards help you to think about the now. And some ask more long-term questions. For example, the Three of Wands could stimulate you to look beyond your current commitments and think about your longer-term career plans.

And then a card like the Six of Wands might be a reminder to recognize your achievements. If you've spent a decade working and building yourself up, don't get frustrated by the everyday issues; look back at how far you've gone since the beginning of school graduation. Look at your peers!

How can I start?

Just go to our homepage and start a reading. Turbo Tarot is free. Once you start, pick a topic, draw the cards, and really take your time to read the meaning and what they signify to you.

The cards will ask you to think about where you are not, what to avoid, and what to focus on. Either way, don't let the cards control how you should take action, but use them as a meditative way to get a big picture and clarity on where you should go.
