Knight of Wands
Wands · Fire
The bold charger who moves toward the goal without hesitation — and without caution.
Upright meaning
The Knight of Wands charges on a rearing horse, full of forward momentum, his wand raised and armour decorated with flames. The Knight has the Page's enthusiasm channelled into directed movement — he knows where he is going and he is going there now, without much patience for obstacles or detours. The fire here is both the fuel and the potential liability: it produces extraordinary momentum and occasional spectacular errors.
Reversed meaning
The Knight of Wands reversed marks the fire turned reckless, impulsive, or misdirected. The charge is happening but the destination is wrong, or the speed is outpacing the wisdom required to navigate the terrain. The energy is not the problem; the direction and the capacity to course-correct without losing momentum are what need attention.
