Tarot Tuesday 2/25/25: Ace of Acorns (Wands)

Ace of Acorns ~ Spiritsong Tarot

How exciting to see the Ace of Wands this week, right after Mars just stationed direct! Aces in Tarot signal potential opportunity and the start of a new phase. No doubt, you may be feeling the wheels start to turn again, slowly but surely, as a bit of forward momentum begins.

Wands are ruled by the element of fire, so this week you might feel like the torch is re-lit, in some sense. The flame you thought was fading still has a lot of life in it, so seize this chance to let it light your way. Ace of Wands brings a much-needed glimmer of hope, so don’t be afraid to carefully take matters into your own hands to help this energy of change grow brighter.

Be sure to take note of any ideas, creative insights, & possible solutions that come to you this week, no matter how far-fetched! It’s a great time to think outside the box when it comes to problem-solving and discovering options you hadn’t seen before. Don’t shortcut the creative process: let yourself be imaginative and dream again. The New Moon in Pisces on Thursday Feb. 27th is supportive of these intuitive endeavors.

Plus, Venus stations retrograde on March 1st in the sign of Aries (represented by the Ram and element of fire), highlighting themes around love, pleasure, creativity, and finances. Ace of Wands could bring opportunities of reflection, rebirth, and determination when it comes to these areas of your life. However, it won’t be without tension, since Mars in Cancer and Venus Rx in Aries both exist in opposing elemental dynamics of fire & water (and vice-versa). And did I mention that eclipse season begins at this month's New Moon?!

Therefore, don’t push too hard or force things along too quickly—retrogrades and eclipses are sometimes suspended in time, so just find a cohesive flow and be adaptable to change & discovery. Your determination will lead you towards more hope & optimism, as long as you keep taking steps forward.
