Positive features

This is a man who cannot sit in one place, a lover of the unknown, a fearless brave man, a prankster. Every time he tries to throw off any demands and shackles imposed on him in the form of unnecessary responsibility.

A person’s great desire to discover new sensations, new facets of life, to test himself and, having achieved what he wants, to be proud of himself. Such a handsome young prankster, attractive with his courage, energy and interest in life. Looking at him, you are charged with the energy of activity and inspired.

The Knight of Wands indicates that a period has come in a person’s life when he has great internal energy and a willingness not to give up, but, on the contrary, to live boldly and believe in his capabilities.

Negative traits

However, it is important to remember that the Knight of Staffs is a sprinter and he will not be so alluring for very long. Such a person gets the greatest thrill from everything that instantly captures his spirit and gives him the most intense sensations: extreme sports, danger, animal sex, speed, etc. This feature of his also has a weakness: it is very difficult for him to cool down this ardor in himself and listen to the quiet whisper of intuition.

On a deeper level

The Knight of Wands is associated with fire, suffocating from excess oxygen. This describes the airy aspect of fire, the road from darkness to light. This is an unbridled passion for learning about the world and new sensations. A person, like a shark, cannot stop, otherwise he will die. It is for this reason that the card is interpreted as a prophecy of some changes, new experiences, new impressions.

• Passion for discovery, desire, craving for the unknown, inability to sit in one place. The main goal of the Arcana seems to be to make a person realize the power of his creativity in addition to mind and logic. Walking his own path, the Knight of Wands, day after day, becomes truly ready to achieve his goals and become a leader for others, capable of not only inspiring them, but also giving them a sense of belonging to a common cause.
• The Knight of Sceptres, with contempt and determination, rejects everything that seems to him no longer relevant and boring. The radar of his attention is always tuned to search for any chance to demonstrate his courage, courage, to do something important and necessary for this world.
• In his ideas, he sees himself as the King of Wands, whose power is very great and absolutely controlled by intentions and desires. However, the Knight's excessive ardor, passion and desire to impress others prevent him from using his power exactly as intended.
• And yet, if we talk about such wonderful qualities as courage, honesty, nobility and purity of intentions, this is all about none other than the Knight of Wands. Nothing can force him to abandon them: no reasonable arguments of the Swords, not a single pragmatic argument of the Pentacles, not even the most vivid sensations and experiences of the Cup, since they occupy an incredibly important position in his value system, being something like the highest duty.

Who, no matter how much the Knight of Wands is offended by his honor, will rush into battle, even feeling that he is not ready and with a high probability may lose. Honor plays a huge role for him. In life, such people are most often found among those born under the signs of Leo, Aries and Sagittarius.



Keywords

Keywords most fully reflect the main essence of the map.

Passion

Knight of Posokhov, a very passionate nature. Often, his passion turns into obsession and fanaticism, and today's passion is easily replaced by any other tomorrow. Today he is a passionate stamp collector, tomorrow he collects butterflies with the same passion, the day after tomorrow he is a Spartak fanatic. On Thursday he is an ardent vegetarian, and for the Knight of the Staff this is very important; passion is the justification for any of his actions.

Sadness

This is a dramatic figure; being in sadness and melancholy is much more natural for him than enjoying life. The card often indicates a depressive state, hysterical behavior. His typical position is: no one loves me, no one understands me, no, I’m not Byron, I’m another unknown exile, and tearing off a T-shirt, well, that’s a sacred thing for us.

Departure

The card is associated with a sad synonymous series. Loss, separation, departure, sunset, waning moon, something is coming to an end and this end is very, very sad.

The meaning of the Knight of Wands in various readings

Career aspect

If in the layout the Knight of Wands is surrounded by other cards promising changes, it may mean a change in the direction of career development, a transition from one position to another. The goal is to boldly declare yourself to the world, work for ten people and love your job. Ability to manage several projects simultaneously, setting ambitious deadlines for each of them. The desire to find like-minded people in your company, the same workaholics who live by work.

• A source of enthusiasm and positive energy. The requirement to set larger and more ambitious goals and achieve them by any means, then set even higher goals and not stop.
• Loud and full of inspiring success stories, morning planning meetings, heated negotiations, the whole palette of emotions bursting out. However, there is insufficient consideration of how detailed and correctly constructed the plan is for bringing everything planned to life. And, I must admit, few people want to really worry and think about this.
• The Knight of Wands has no difficulty in creating the impression of himself as a successful person, capable of independently setting high goals for himself and motivating himself to achieve them. However, there is a big threat of becoming so obsessed with creating your image of a mega-successful person that in life you will end up empty-handed.
• Focusing on unnecessary details, wasting energy on unnecessary actions, ineffective goals. Haste in decisions, carelessness in actions, lack of endurance - hence vanity, chaos, confusion and unwillingness to wait long for results. All this leads to the fact that often a person either does not achieve his goals at all, or achieves something completely different from what he wanted.
• The Knight of Wands always chooses only those activities that can give him thrills and emotions and make his blood boil in his veins. He is attracted by high tempo, maximum realism, dynamism, and speed of reaction.
• At the same time, he feels unhappy if he is forced to follow someone else's rules, decrees and ideas of how things should be. It is difficult for him to live according to a schedule and infringe on the freedom of his desires and actions.
• Passions boiling inside, an uncontrollable heap of the most extraordinary thoughts, ideas and projects crumble in powerlessness before the need to do regular work day after day. Sabotage, protests, cunning plans - no question, we will carry them out!
• Therefore, as they say, let his energy go in a peaceful direction. And such a peaceful course will be the decision for him to be a valuable employee of the company outside its walls, where meeting with each new client will require all his energy and will take him “weakly” each time. It is impossible to take away from the Knight of Wands his talent to be a bright figure at various corporate events. He is great at entertaining and entertaining the audience with his jokes and behavior.
• Scope of this card: theater, competitive sports, traveling activities, organizing travel and entertainment events. Entrepreneurs, traveling salesmen, pop artists, DJs, entertainers, athletes, PR specialists, advertising and creating rush demand specialists, journalists eager for sensations.

Well, and last but not least, he can be appointed as an employee of the department developing projects for organizational changes in the company, or for overcoming severe crisis situations.

For finances and property

The change is likely the emergence of some new and more attractive opportunities. A card in an inverted state indicates debts, possibly problems with collectors.

For love and relationships

Knight of Wands Tarot meaning in relationships is a passion for adventure, initiative and resourcefulness in love. Very emotional, sensitive and hot. It starts easily, but just as easily cools down afterwards. If he loves, then he is very sensual and passionate in his manifestations.

Sometimes it seems that his inherent unbridledness and lack of restraint does not give his partner enough faith in long-term plans for the future. His behavior is sometimes similar to the behavior of a child who just a minute ago was captivated by someone, and now all his attention has been attracted by a new person... more beautiful, more interesting, etc. His love is very ardent and passionate, but as soon as he loses interest in the person, he says goodbye without regret and leaves to meet new adventures.

• The Knight of Scepters sees for himself a special pleasure in new meetings and acquaintances, but his love for freedom is much greater and brings him more intense sensations and emotions than relationships, which can be very exciting for the blood, but he is not capable of being faithful and reliable for a long time. He quickly loses interest. It is absolutely not difficult for him to meet the person he likes, take the first step, seduce him and invite him on a date... however, then he will need to remember the details of the agreement for a long time.
• He is a real conquistador, starting a siege of the tower he likes immediately and without any doubt. His inherent openness, pressure and perseverance can lead to confusion, and a person does not immediately find what to answer. The Knight of Wands, without hesitation for a long time, takes silence for consent. In love, he wants the fastest results possible.
• Like a real knight, he is indeed very generous and tries to be honest, but with all his appearance he expresses how difficult it is for him to be tactful and restrained. He is created for love and passion, incredibly charming and attractive to the opposite sex.
• Has a large and unbridled sexual appetite. Surely he will advocate for not using protection during sex, but in this case it is especially important to monitor this. For him, the thrill is primarily important, and not the consequences that can occur in case of an irresponsible attitude.
• It is important to be prepared for the fact that until he has conquered you, he will resemble the most affectionate and gentle partner in the world, but as soon as you answer him, he will grow cold. The Knight of Wands is not averse to presenting you as a long-desired trophy in a conversation with friends. He is ambitious and sometimes very arrogant.

However, his love of life, inner freedom and bewitching audacity do not leave anyone indifferent. He is at the same time the most desirable and the most unsuitable person for someone who dreams of stability, long-term relationships, a large and strong family. However, it is this person who will love with all his heart.

For health status

Physically, this card indicates good health, designed for serious sports activities and results. May indicate ailments such as sports injuries, high fever, rash, tachycardia.

Cups

Parting, breaking friendship, betrayal, betrayal. Envy, conflicts, intrigues, deceptions. Divorce of spouses. Jealousy. Someone who brings a lot of negative emotions and problems into life.

On this day it is not recommended to attend mass events or drink alcohol. You should expect unpleasant surprises. Colleagues may become angry and quarrel. Don't get involved. Believe me, if you take the position of an observer, you will win. Then you won’t be ashamed of careless words or strange accusations uttered in the heat of a scandal.

Influence on work and finances of an inverted lasso

Most likely, the fortuneteller has not bothered himself lately with current affairs. Because of this, they found themselves in desolation and disorder. An inverted lasso indicates that you will have to quickly set up and disassemble everything. There will be very little time. There will be bustle, running around, quarrels and discord. The inverted Knight indicates a number of unexpected surprises of the most unpleasant kind that you will have to face. There will probably be changes at work. Some kind of certification or exam for which no one has time to prepare. Or the most important boss will unexpectedly come with an inspection and see how things really are in production. A debriefing will follow with a scolding for all the guilty and innocent. Financial punishment is also very likely. The Five of Pentacles, located near our lasso, will indicate it. The loss of money is predicted by a scenario in which the Moon and the inverted Knight of Wands (Cups) are standing next to each other.

In Tarot, the meaning of figures is multifaceted, as already noted. If you see two inverted knights in a row, it means that the team in which you work is not friendly. Cups in this case represent empty dreams that have no relation to reality. That is, when thunder strikes, you will not understand what is happening. You should not rely on your colleagues; strictly fulfill your duties, no matter how others look at it. The Knight of Wands inverted is unfavorable in a financial scenario. It foretells losses. With the Seven of Pentacles and the Moon - theft. If the Tower is also nearby, it means you will be accused of theft committed by someone else.
