If you pull the Four of Wands/4 of Wands tarot card in a reading, here's what it means, including upright and reversed interpretations and keywords.
This is an exciting moment! Something major has happened, and now a celebration is in order. Did you say yes to a marriage proposal? Launch a big professional project?

Take this opportunity to show your gratitude for how far you've come and the people who've supported you along the way. Sometimes you don’t need more an excuse to throw a party. Don’t hold back.

Four of Wands Upright Meaning
Incredible accomplishments bloom from a stable foundation. This is the space where creativity thrives, intimacy deepens, and goals can soar to the next level. But before we get to what’s next, let’s take time to see what’s here, right now. Yes, some stuff is just beginning to sprout, but there are other things that are in full bloom!
Wherever you’re at on your journey, this is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses and take note of all of your achievements in the present moment. Have you noticed what’s here? Your hard work is paying off! You've accomplished so much, and you will continue to accomplish even more. Take this time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Indulge in a respite and allow yourself to savor the sweetness before pushing off into the wild unknowns of the future. The universe is proud of you, and you should be, too.
Four of Wands Reversed Meaning
Everything feels like it’s off or even in total disarray! Maybe you've been clashing with all of the different personalities at work, or maybe you and your partner just can’t seem to get on the same page. Everything somehow turns into an argument, leaving you feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unseen. Or maybe you feel completely unsupported by your family—they don’t understand your path or your choices, because their notions of success do not align with yours.
Whatever it is, peace and harmony are decidedly lacking in your current circumstances. This is a fine time to figure out exactly why that is, and what you can do to change this situation. Compromise may be in order, but the problem here might be more along the lines of your own self-acceptance. You know who you are and why you’re doing what you’re doing, even if loved ones don’t understand. It’s truly okay not to fit into others’ ways of defining you. We simply cannot fit in everywhere with everyone, and that’s a good thing. No need to doubt yourself! Focus on your own sense of stability and inner peace, and the rest will fall into place.
