In the upright position, the King of Wands is characterized as a restless, charismatic partner who knows how to gain favor from the object of his affection. He knows how and loves to make broad gestures, he is ready to completely give his soul and heart to his soulmate.
Often the King burns out by giving too much of his love. But after some time, his feelings flare up again, but in relation to another person. That is why we can talk about some inconstancy of the King of Wands.

Description of the map
The King of Wands in the Tarot is the most powerful card of this suit. Symbolizes spiritual and material progress. The illustration shows a man - a leader, the head of his kingdom, sitting on a throne. In his hands is a staff, larger than that of a Page or a Knight. There is confidence in his eyes and with his entire appearance he shows the status of the strongest and most powerful person.
Like the rest of the arcana of the magic deck, the meaning has common features with the external description of the card. Arkan himself is the inner strength of the individual, his skills accompany progress, and he is also characterized by nobility and generosity. The clothes are made in bright red and yellow colors, which also emphasizes inner strength, passion and sexuality. The lizard, which is depicted on a staff or near the throne, symbolizes wisdom and success in business.
When it comes to finances and work
The King encourages a person to dream, act and make the most daring plans, because now is a very good time for new projects, endeavors, and cooperation.
Don't count on instant success. To get money and recognition you will have to work hard.
Often the person who gets the King occupies high leadership positions. Sometimes, his profession is associated with some degree of danger and risk. For example, with exposure to high temperatures or high speed operation.
It is important to remember that Arkan favors achieving financial well-being, however, the person himself will also have to really make every effort. The inverted King of Staves advises the fortuneteller to postpone new beginnings and projects, since there is a high risk of failures and breakdowns.
If a person occupies a leadership position, he may begin to significantly exceed his authority. For example, talking rudely to subordinates, threatening to punish them with rubles, creating a tense atmosphere in the team.
In financial matters, a person under the influence of the reverse King of Wands may begin to boast of money and material goods that he received by inheritance or as a gift from relatives.
Different situations
Each layout examines a specific situation or provides answers to questions. If they provide unambiguous “yes-no” answers, then in the event of the King of Wands falling out, the answer is yes. But with small reservations - the solution to the issue depends on an influential man, or with social success and leadership.
The answer is no in situations involving an egoist and an empty talker who promises a lot but delivers little. There will also be a negative effect in cases where the querent makes promises, but does not have the strength to implement them. In this case, the project will most likely fail.
As the card of the day, the King of Wands recommends: setting your best goal and achieving it. The person will be filled with energy and will inspire everyone else with it. Any difficulties will be solved with a wave of your hand. It is likely that you will meet an interesting man.
As a card of the year, the lasso advises: determination and efficiency are two qualities of this period. They allow you to accomplish accomplishments and good deeds. To achieve high results, you need authority and charisma.
The meaning of the King of Wands Tarot card in a health reading
The king in an upright position guarantees a person good health and a high level of vital energy. He has a lot of vital resources and a desire to act. Such a person certainly does not suffer from a lack of strength or apathy. However, the card advises a person to take care of himself. For example, don’t work seven days a week, take sick leave on time, don’t suffer from colds on your feet, and get enough sleep. Otherwise, a crazy lifestyle can lead to heart problems in the future.
The King of Wands reversed warns that the fortuneteller may experience professional burnout. At the same time, a person works extremely hard not because he lacks money or because he is sincerely in love with his work. He just needs to constantly prove his superiority to someone.
Often a person commits rash acts in order to attract attention to himself, for which he pays with his own health. For example, he may dive into an ice hole in winter to impress new acquaintances or a member of the opposite sex, but as a result ends up in the hospital with pneumonia.

Psychological characteristics of personality
A direct card characterizes a person who is not used to speaking and engaging in demagoguery. He is a man of action, although from the outside he may seem somewhat stern and silent. Exchange, betrayal or slander are alien to him. He is used to treating the people around him honestly and respectfully.
People who love life like the person with the King of Wands card are worth looking for.
The reversed position of the Arcana represents a leader and a very assertive person. In an effort to demonstrate these qualities, he often behaves aggressively, inappropriately, and not always decently. He likes to dictate his terms and rules. He may begin to be sincerely surprised that those around him do not want to obey him in everything. Sometimes his desire to prove something to someone becomes obsessive.
General characteristics in inverted position
If the King of Wands has an inverted position in the reading, its interpretation will be completely different. The card may portend quarrels, conflicts and misunderstandings. It can also symbolize a person who has pronounced selfishness, stubbornness, and lack of life experience. The card advises you to stay away from such a person. He can fail in any situation, especially when you don't expect it. It cannot be relied upon, but it does not purposefully cause harm. You should not expect help from such a person. He can easily take advantage of people's kindness. The main meanings of an inverted card include:
- excessive pride;
- manifestation of power;
- a man of strict rules;
- lack of patience and quarrels;
- pronounced selfishness and arrogance.
The reversed meaning speaks of intolerance, unreliability and excessive severity. The king imposes his opinion and considers it the best. The point of view of others does not interest him. And also the lasso can warn of a quarrel and advises not to sort things out. The symbol of the card is a man with authority, financially secure and quite strict. He will never give up his goals to help someone, but will not interfere with others unless necessary. He will even approve of the plans you want to achieve. In cases where the card does not symbolize a specific person, but a situation, you need to work hard to achieve your goals. In general, the situation is quite encouraging and positive. Even if there is no outside help, success will still be achieved on your own.
The King of Wands in the tarot, whose meaning in an inverted position is not the best, speaks of a man who has a constrained behavior, dogmatism and persistence in realizing his plans. His actions are often based on personal stubbornness. He has arrogance, pride, excessive ambition and power. Arkan suggests that leadership positions may be lost.
Arkan also talks about claims to the role of leader, an ostentatious manifestation of feelings that are caused by hidden self-doubt. There is rudeness and complete submission, as well as a lack of compromise. The king has no nobility, only excessive pressure.
The inverted King promises quarrels
