The meaning of the Four of Wands Tarot card is that it symbolizes stability. You will draw the Four of Wands when all is well (or is going to be well) in your home life.
The Four of Wands is a very family orientated card. For the period of time which the Four of Wands represents, your family will be on your mind. Therefore, if you’re looking for reassurance about a family matter or issue, the Four of Wands is the card you will want to see.
As it symbolizes the family, the Four of Wands also represents the home. Perhaps, you’re considering making a house move or will in the future. If you desire an uproot, the Four of Wands is a good omen. Often, it will be a family home in the cards as opposed to a ‘lads pad’ or apartment.
On a minor level, there could be home improvements. While this may be stressful, do not worry; all will end well, and you will have your house just as you want it.
In general, times will be happy. Relationships, jobs, and work will be stable for a short time, at least. As it predicts a comfortable outcome, Four of Wands in a future position is desirable. If there is a particular area of you’re life which you are concerned about, the Four of Wands should put you at ease.
Although the Four of Wands is a positive card, there will be times when it appears as a negative or a drawback. In these cases, it can mean that you’re too introverted and not willing to put yourself out there. You rarely venture out past your comfort zone and are too afraid to mingle with new people in a strange place. Your need to feel like you belong to something or somewhere is also putting a damper on your creativity and independence.
Four of Wands Love Tarot Meaning
For love readings, the Four of Wands is a good card to get; it means that they find comfort in your company and would rather have you around than not. It can also symbolize the fact that they see you as someone who has ‘long-term partner’ potential, not just a fling. In fact, the Four of Wands is one of my Tarot cards which indicates love.
However, if the Four of Wands appears as a negative or in a sinister-looking spread, it can mean that – although your partner sees you as marriage material – they may not be ready just yet to make that commitment. If your lover seems overly childish or difficult to pin down beware: just because they see you as wifey material doesn’t mean they’re ready to put a ring on it. I would be especially cautious when your Tarot spread includes a ‘lonely’ card such as The Hermit.
Although the Four of Wands is not always a marriage card per se, it marks romantic seriousness. The Four of Wands can mean that you will soon set up home with your partner, which of course, is a notable commitment.

Four of Wands Future Tarot Meaning
I often interpret the Four of Wands as the purchase of a new home. The home you will buy will make you much happier than the house you currently inhabit.
It is a very good sign to get a Four of Wands in an outcome position for love Tarot readings: it can mean that you will set up a happy home with your lover.

Four of Wands Business & Career Tarot Meaning
Even though the main meaning of the Four of Wands does not deal with business or career, I am inclined to read it as a brilliant career card for several reasons.
Many company owners do not earn enough to take home a substantial wage from their business. Therefore, any indication that they are (new home, new car) generally means that they do not fall into this category. Therefore, I read anything in a Tarot reading related to large purchases as a plus.
Usually, the Four of Wands comes up as a house you have bought, not one you have gotten through other means (rent, government). Most people know that it takes a substantial amount of money to be able to afford a home. The Four of Wands implies to me that your career is successful enough that you will be able to purchase a home.
In some career readings, the Four of Wands can predict an opportunity for you to work from home. If you do not have the chance to work at home now, you will have in the future.

Four of Wands as a Negative, Weakness or Blockage
When the Four of Wands appears in a negative, weakness, or obstacle Tarot spread position, this means that you’re too introverted.
