Upright Meaning:
This is a majestic card for a career reading as it foretells new (successful) business ventures, money, wealth and inheritance. If you were wondering about investing money into your passions – then this is a positive “yes!” If you were wondering about a new business partnership or a promotion to a higher position – the answer is “yes”, your passion, efforts and enthusiasm have been noticed and will be regarded in the near future.
Conversely, this card is urging you to act, and very soon, for the chance for you to shine is coming! Your 5 minutes are going to be up soon and you should have both your eyes and mind open in order not to miss and seize your chance for greatness. Ace of Wands is a very positive and urging card when it shows up in a career reading.
This card also indicates that you should listen to your intuition, and follow your passion without fear of failure. If you were wishing for a promotion or a new business start and manifesting and praying, well, this is your cosmic answer – go for it baby, and go for it with all your might, you’ve got this.
Reversed Meaning:
When the Ace of Wands shows up reversed in a career reading it implies that right now is not the right time for moving ahead with your plans. More patience and perseverance is required from you. It doesn’t mean that your idea is not good, or that your plans are lacking in some way (although it could imply that, too), it’s more likely that it is implying that right now is not the right time for the execution of your plans/ideas.
This card showing up reversed can also mean that you are getting bored on your current job and you lack enthusiasm for your daily work. It can imply that you need to put more of yourself into the work you do in order to become more successful and noticed by the higher-ups. If you’re a business owner yourself, then it implies that you need to put extra passion and creativity into your own business at the moment.
Ace of Wand reversed can also indicate a sudden loss of money or an investment going sour. It certainly is not a good omen to see when career and finances are concerned, but since it’s a fast-working card, whatever loss might come, it’s not here to stay or affect you in the long run, so there’s at least that silver lining in a reading.
