Upright Meaning

Someone's hand reaches out from flames, holding a budding branch. This card symbolizes action and inspiration—if you've drawn the upright Ace of Wands, it means new ideas and perspectives have ignited. This card calls on you to give 100 percent of yourself. Fire surrounds you, but you pass through it, holding your destiny in your hand. Listen to your instincts and trust your intuition. Now is the time to act. Details will reveal themselves in due course; what matters most now is the initial burst of passion and energy.

Reversed Meaning

It seems your energy is blocked, and processes that should flow easily and simply are slowing down and stalling. This may be the result of your inability to clearly define what exactly you want. The reversed Ace of Wands suggests you take a step back and pause to truly understand what your goals and aspirations are.
