Four of Wands upright
The Four of Wands is the happiest doorway in the deck. Upright, it shows a celebration: a wedding, a homecoming, a housewarming, a finished stage worth marking. The garland is open, so anyone can walk through it. This is joy that belongs to a community, not just to one person.
