What the Four of Wands advises upright

Tina Gong's the Four of Wands guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with celebration, homecoming, harmony and community. In an advice position I read those meanings as an instruction: the attitude or action the card is asking of you, rather than a description of what will happen. The Minor Arcana overview at Biddy Tarot is a useful second reference.

Upright, the Four of Wands advises welcome and celebration: host, share good news, make your home a place people want to be.
