A festival of hard-won stability

Four wands linked by a garland stand like a gateway, and beyond it people rejoice with flowers before a castle. The Four of Wands stands for celebration, stability, and a harmonious community. It is the card of sharing the fruits of your labor and enjoying rest together.

Money
