I. Analyze and describe 4 of Wands Thoth Tarot
On the card, all eight heads of four sticks (made up of two crosses) touch the circle, so they represent the level of accomplishment as well as equal creative behavior limits. This statement is emphasized by eight tongues of fire around the center of the axis. Eight sparks are considered to be the connection between the earthly quadrant and the divine circle.
Therefore, it represents the ultimate human will that attempts from the earth (quadrant) to reach the divine (circle). Each head of a stick is decorated with a sheep’s head showing the power of Mars, while at the other end is a dove, a symbol of Venus. This explains the balance between the two genders and the harmony of the energy sources.
II. Interpretation of 4 of Wands Thoth Tarot
1. Energy
This card represents the idea of the cosmic order (deeper: the origin of the world). The cycle is complete and it also closes itself. The original will of 2 of Wands is spiritually anchored through 3 of Wands Thoth and is limited in space (concretized) in card number 4. It shows that the owner of all things is revealed and demonstrates order, the material world and the principle of power.
2. Inner
The card shows that we have deeply understood the original order of creation and its perfect balance. In the process, we gradually understand what ancient texts said about the “At first …” state, which does not mean a phenomenon that happened somewhere in the past, but actually original state. Only when we realize how far we have deviated from the original state can we connect with the past. This is a true religion (derived from the Latin “religare”: turn back).
3. Career
4 of Wands Thoth card represents a new scope of activity or a new project that – perhaps after a long time of preparation – will be implemented. Or we will be able to experience the culmination of an incident that has been formed from diligence and effort, now we are connecting the hardships of work with enthusiasm and passion of fire harmoniously.
4. Sentiment
We can also find strong harmony when we realize “the other half” is our own reflection. It is the law of energy that will make us attract people who complement us at a corresponding emotional level when we suddenly find ourselves. We can learn a lot about ourselves through our experiences with the partner, through the recognition that he or she is the embodiment of our emotional images (anima/animus) that are sexually opposite to us. If you live this way, that combination can lead to inner harmony and a happy feeling.
