Meditation
Wands represent primal energy, growth, the will, inspiration, determination, strength, intelligence, intuition and creativity. Wands mirror what is important to you at the core of your being. Wands are also about ideas, growth, ambition and expansion, original thought and the seeds through which life springs forth. Wands also represent the Spiritual  - they deal with the spiritual level of your consciousness. They address what makes us tick - our personalities, egos, enthusiasms, self-concepts, and personal energy, both internal and external.

At the start of every day write a list of things that you would like to achieve personally. Endeavour to fulfil at least one of these daily, perhaps working towards a greater goal long term. Look at ways in which your life can give you personal satisfaction. Begin with small steps initially – if you have a dream ambition, are desiring a new direction in your career or in life generally, this Ace can help you to set the wheels in motion by asking you to at least make that small step forwards to achieving your goal. Formulate ideas, make plans and then go for it!
