Ace of Wands and Two of Wands

The spark and the first plan made from it. The Ace is the impulse arriving; the Two is standing at a height with the world in hand, deciding where to send it. The tradition reads the run as the moment an urge becomes a direction, which is the point most enthusiasms never reach.

Associated with attraction that has begun to be thought about. Read as the step from wanting to considering.

The idea and the first serious look at what it would take. Frequently read at the point somebody stops describing a plan and starts sizing it.

The Two of Wands is still holding the globe rather than travelling. This pair is about deciding, and the deciding has not been done yet.
