Known also as the Lord of Perfected Work and aligned with Venus in Aries, the Four of Wands represents successful completion of a cycle, and the beginning of a new one. Venus values love and relationship, while Aries values new beginnings, so the time is ripe for a new phase in your relationships, and in your love life.
Tensions are resolved and there is a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.
There is a free flowing energy with this placement, buoyed along by recent success having overcome a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. Relationships are working beautifully, differences are appreciated instead of being a source of antagonism, and communication is flowing favourably.
If you feel that there is something still to be resolved then now is a good time to approach a reconciliation or smoothing over any misunderstandings.
This is a joyful card, the energy is just right to allow you to feel that your work and other efforts are worthwhile and important, and there is time too, to enjoy the fruits of past labours. It is early success and while it is not the end of the road by any means, you are encouraged towards future accomplishments and support in your work and creative projects.
Four is a foundational number, the first of the quaternal cards of completion and balance and so this card tells you that what you have laid down now is also setting up your future for abundance and prosperity. There will be ups and downs along the way naturally, but you can be sure that the measures you put in place now are assuring your future happiness and wellbeing.
It is important at this stage to celebrate the successes you have and will enjoy. Reward yourself for your achievements so far, celebrate your milestones, and don't wait for everything to be finished before you do. It is the little steps along the road, the small joys and triumphs that we can acknowledge and bless and appreciate, that make life so joyful and buoys us through any rough patches that inevitably appear from time to time.
What rituals can you create to honour yourself for your hard work and tenacity?
