Four of Wands—Work Hard Play Hard

Time to turn up. Four is a number that typically represents structure (The Emperor is Arcanum IV), but when you blend the stability of this number with the fiery nature of the Wands, you just get a really well-planned party. Representing celebrations of all sorts, you can breathe a sigh of relief when this card shows up in a reading. We’ve made something beautiful, and it’s time to gather with the people we love and feel really fucking good about that. It could be celebrating a strong and meaningful relationship in the form of a wedding, or the birthday party of a friend you love. Since Everyday Magic opened, it has expanded in beautiful, unexpected ways. We have two employees, an in-house herbalist and a plant shop renting out the back space—a squad made up of the most intelligent, intuitive, hardworking and straight-up cool women I have ever met. We just had a holiday dinner together after nine months of tending to and growing this space, and the feelings of love, gratitude and respect we all have for each other lit up the whole evening. The champagne didn’t hurt, either.

Five of Wands—Wait, Why Are We Even Fighting?

Maybe you turned up too hard in the Four of Wands, and maybe now it’s the end of the night and you’re belligerent and trying to start some shit. You’re kinda pissed, kinda looking for a fight, kinda trying to break something just to produce loud sounds and kick up dust. We’ve all been here, when our partner comes home a little late from an innocent outing and we are faced with the choice of letting it go or turning the conversation into a “you always do this” blowout for the gods. The Five of Wands is unfocused, superficial conflict. The arguing, chaos and anger are to no end. Maybe you’re right, but being right doesn’t really matter. I’ve had fights like these with friends, cracking up laughing mid-argument in spite of ourselves. Try not to hold on to or get sucked into this drama. It’s not yours, or at least it doesn’t have to be. Maybe anger is being used to hide a secondary emotion—hurt or vulnerability. Re-assess the conflict in your life and the value of furthering it. There are battles worth fighting; is this one of them? Even if you end up being right, will it feel like you won?
