Full Meaning
The Four of Wands is symbolic of the laying down of firm foundations for the future. It is a card of looking back and admiring the fruits of one's labour. This card is indicative of the completion of projects and whatever has been established is worthwhile and should be enjoyed. Consolidation is a good descriptive term for the meaning of this card particularly if two or more fours appear in a reading because this suggests the realization of one's dreams and fulfillment of your ambitions. With this card in your spread you may find that relationships move to a deeper commitment or will acquire solid foundations. If you are considering the purchase of a property then now would be a good time to give this serious thought; and if you have had any money worries lately then this is a good card as it can indicate monetary success.
Traditional Symbolism
From the four great staves planted in the foreground there is a great garland suspended; two female figures uplift nosegays; at their side is a bridge over a moat, leading to an old manorial house.
