Knight of Wands card
Knight of Wands · Wands · Element: Fire · Astrology: Fire of Fire
A knight wearing a tunic embroidered with salamanders over his armor rides through the desert on a rearing horse, a wand in his hand. The plume of his helmet and the horse's mane whip in the wind; the movement speaks of both courage and excess.
Yes/no: Maybe
Upright meaning
- passion
- drive
- adventure
- energy
- charisma
The Knight of Wands represents the energy that wants to race toward an idea or goal at full speed. You are passionate, bold and impatient to go after something. The card is a strong sign for setting off on a journey, launching a project quickly or breaking the stagnation in your life in a single move. The Knight can be charming, witty and inspiring, so the card may also point to a person. The thing to watch is that speed can throw off your direction: it is easy to make the horse gallop, but it matters to know where it is heading. Focusing your energy on one goal turns this card's dynamism into a lasting result. Don't suppress your passion, but take a look at the details of the next step too. Right now your courage is in tune with the window of opportunity opening before you.
Reversed meaning
- rash behavior
- impatience
- anger
- scattered energy
- never-ending plans
The reversed Knight of Wands points to situations where passion turns into haste and speed into scattered effort. Decisions made without thinking, unfinished projects, outbursts of anger, or a relationship that starts hot and cools quickly are the card's shadow side. You may have plenty of energy, but its direction may be unclear. The card can also describe a period when movement is blocked and plans are postponed; the horse is rearing but cannot move forward. Slow down, choose one goal and channel all your energy into it. Taking a breath before taking a step is usually enough to correct your course.
In love and relationships
A passionate, exciting and lively period; an intriguing flirtation or an adventurous partner may be on the scene. Interest can rise quickly and fade just as fast, so it's important that words are backed by action.
In career and money
Favorable for a fast-moving project, a job that involves travel or an energetic venture. Acting boldly can bring gains; carelessness, however, can turn into losses just as quickly.
Direct your energy toward a single goal; don't let your speed outrun your sense of direction.
