Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into tarot lately, and it’s been a wild ride. Today, I wanted to really get a handle on what the “Ace of Wands reversed” means when it comes to feelings. Like, what’s this card trying to tell me about someone’s emotional state?
Digging In
First, I pulled out my trusty Rider-Waite deck. I shuffled the cards, really focusing on the question: “What does the Ace of Wands reversed mean as feelings?” I laid out a simple three-card spread – past, present, future – just to get some context. And boom, there it was, the Ace of Wands, upside down, smack-dab in the present position.
My First Impressions
My gut reaction? Ugh. This didn’t feel good. I know the upright Ace of Wands is all about passion, new beginnings, and that spark of inspiration. But flipped? It felt like all that energy was blocked, or maybe going in the wrong direction.

looked up, and confirmed it. So, it is delays, and lack of direction, which I already feel it.
Putting It All Together, What is mean?
- Lack of passion: Instead of feeling fired up, someone might feel blah, unmotivated, or just plain uninterested.
- False starts: Maybe they thought they were excited about something, but it fizzled out quickly. Like, starting a new project and then immediately losing steam.
- Blocked creativity: They might feel like they have good ideas, but they can’t quite make them happen. It’s like writer’s block, but for feelings.
- Hesitation: Instead of jumping into a new relationship or opportunity, they might be holding back, unsure if it’s the right move.
- Misdirected energy: This is a big one. It’s like, they’re putting all their effort into the wrong things, or maybe chasing after someone who’s not interested.
My Takeaway
For me, seeing the Ace of Wands reversed as feelings is a big red flag. It’s a sign that something’s off. It made me look myself.
Maybe they need to take a step back, figure out what’s really blocking them, and find a way to reignite that inner fire. It’s not necessarily a “bad” card, but it’s definitely a “pay attention” card. And I pay atttention to it.
