Wands represent the element of fire in tarot, Vanderveldt adds, so consider this ace like a first spark or desire for something. “It’s life force, spirit, and positive motion,” she says, asking you to get started. “As with all Aces, it’s an opportunity, but nothing’s guaranteed,” she explains, adding that your presence and energy are required to take this further. “You’re being asked to work with this energy in a new way, but there’s real potential here,” she notes. “Now’s a good time to take some alone time and take stock about the relationship or your approach to finding love. Come back to your vision and what you want, and trust that,” she suggests. “Honor your inspiration and passion, and use it to propel you forward,” she says, adding, “There’s an opportunity for success here.” Rather than charging headfirst, she recommends grounding yourself, taking some breathing room, and even coming up with a new plan if necessary, when you pull this card in reverse. Though, Vanderveldt explains, “We might not always have the time or space to act on ’the thing’—be it inspiration or intuitive hits. In that case, make sure you keep track of these creative pulls and circle back to them later if they still feel aligned and good to you.” Just be warned, she adds, “If we neglect a thing for too long, it can lose its magic and potential for us.” “It suggests there’s a lack of trust in one’s own ideas or enthusiasm that’s calling for a deeper personal exploration or discernment,” she says.
