Knight of Wands, tarot card in the Waite-Smith tradition

Knight of Wands

Minor Arcana · Wands · Fire

Upright

  • Boldness
  • Passion
  • Departure
  • Impulsiveness
General
Fire in motion: charging ahead. A departure, an adventure, a charismatic and hurried person who sweeps everything along.
Love & relationships
A blazing passion, a fiery charmer. Intense and exciting, but not necessarily built to last.
Career & money
A project launched at full speed, a relocation, a risk taken. Money spent as fast as it's earned.
Advice
Dare, but hold the reins. Boldness pays when it knows where it's going.

Reversed

  • Recklessness
  • Anger
  • Interruption
  • Frustration
General
The horse bolts or refuses to move. Haste, anger, an interrupted project, or blocked energy turning into irritation.
Love & relationships
A passion that burns and burns out, explosive fights, someone leaving as fast as they arrived.
Career & money
A hasty decision that costs dearly, a cancelled trip, impulsiveness that annoys the team.
Advice
Breathe before acting. The right speed is the one you can sustain.
