Upright
Four wands rise like the corners of a doorway, garlanded with flowers and grapes. Two figures lift bouquets in welcome. A castle behind. The Four of Wands is celebration that means something — a homecoming, a milestone, the moment the work becomes a feast. Take the picture. Toast the room. The card reminds you to mark the good things while they're happening.
Reversed
The garland still up, but no one quite present. The Four of Wands reversed is celebration that feels off — the wedding you're not sure about, the home that feels unstable, the milestone that didn't bring what you thought it would. Sometimes it's transience, a celebration that won't outlast the week. The card asks you to notice what's actually being honored, and whether it's still yours.
