Let's unpack this a little bit. Since the Winter Solstice (when the sun enters Capricorn), the amount of daylight compared to night has been growing. Spring Equinox is day that the Sun enters Aries. This is the time of equal day and night, when the daylight is still growing, and the sun is still climbing higher in the sky (Northern Hemisphere). The Summer Solstice (when the Sun enters Cancer) is when the total amount of daylight peaks, and then begins to subside. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and a fire sign. Now you know why Aries starts almost every monthly horoscope forecast. π In Tarot, the suit of wands = the element of fire. So we could say that every wands card has some affinity with every fire sign of the zodiac (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). The wands cards of Tarot are often depicted as tree branches sprouting with new leaves. Or sometimes they are torches of burning wood. Or in the case of the Ace of Wands in this article, both leaves and fire! Christ is resurrected on the first full moon following the Equinox. Life has returned! Spring has sprung! New life is beginning. It seems quite appropriate to me, then, that the Ace of Wands would symbolize this starting point of Spring. Questions to ask yourself this Ace of Wands week:
