Four of Wands Reversed Tarot Card Meaning
Even when the Four of Wands is reversed, there is still a happy tone to it. The joy and celebration for the hard work that you have accomplished may not be something that you feel needs to be shared with everyone. For example, a small milestone as part of a bigger goal. Having a nice celebration of your own may be more fitting here.
In contrast, you may not be appreciating all of the things that you already have. When you don’t appreciate what you have, you will never be able to be truly happy with what you achieve because once the achievement is made, the feeling of emptiness sets in. This could also manifest by always aiming for lackluster goals. You may want riches, but don’t see how working towards a goal for this could be beneficial for you. So you work towards mediocrity.
The Four of Wands reversed could also indicate that you have lost friends and/or business partnerships due to impatience and being unprepared to put in the work required.
