Keywords: Journey. Departure. Business trip. Excitement, movement, pressure, activity, passion. Burn with impatience. Hothead. Competition.

Personal relationships: The emergence of a promising partner. Vivid, memorable relationships.
In the negative aspect: passion is either feigned, or it is a storm in a teacup. One of the partners flares up with anger for any reason, as well as for no reason. Strong jealousy, resentment, quarrels. An acute feeling of dissatisfaction pushes you to search for new romantic adventures. This is why the Knight of Wands in a relationship reading so often indicates the presence of a mistress or lover. Especially when there is confirmation in the form of: Three of Swords, inverted Two of Swords, Strength, Devil.

Business and finance: The card is very good for business. Specifically based on finances, one must evaluate the presence or absence of the suit of Pentacles.

Advice: Step forward boldly and actively. The card gives a clear answer to all questions - act!

Warning: Don't raise a lot of dust; there's no need for ostentatious activity either.

Card of the day: It's going to be a hot day! Or you will find yourself in a situation where passions will heat up to the limit. Or your violent temperament will make itself felt, and you will want everything at once. Even if all the fuss is about trifles, on this day you can act according to the dictates of your heart and give free rein to your feelings. Pleasant surprises, such as a bouquet of roses.

Characters: A young attractive man, in his prime. Very active and interesting, easily makes contact, makes a lot of acquaintances. Very attractive to women. Knows how to please men. Open and friendly. Does business honestly. A man with an entrepreneurial spirit. Everyone argues that he won’t take it on. He conquers the world with his fire and perseverance. Takes on all endeavors with enthusiasm and is open to new knowledge and alternative points of view. With great delight and enthusiasm he meets new heights that are yet to be achieved. She loves to be in the thick of things, and draws energy from this. He has his own opinion, has an independent mindset, and unlike the previous card (Page of Wands), he clearly knows his goals. Perhaps this person has already established himself socially: he has a good position, authority, high earnings, and is proud of his successes. But he does not intend to stop there, and increases his knowledge and experience with real achievements. One cannot blame him for the fact that he takes everything for himself; the Knight of Wands is generous and happily shares both his knowledge, practical experience, and material wealth.

If you want to please a man like the Knight of Wands, then you should find out as much as possible about his hobbies and interests, what he does, how he relaxes. By showing interest in his hobbies, you can win much more than just trying to please him. A very temperamental and ardent lover, but may avoid long-term permanent relationships. As a husband, such a person has a rather difficult life in everyday life, because... he is pleasant to himself: he is either immersed in work or in his hobbies: tour. Hiking, cycling, skiing. At the same time, he is indifferent to everything that is not part of his hobbies. The only way out to avoid being left on the sidelines is to share his interests.

This person is always ready for action and for active defense of his interests. His horse is always ready to rush forward and for this the rider only needs to let go of the reins. Thirst for life and optimism are his characteristic features. He is impulsive, easily excitable and prone to exaggeration. A sort of hussar. Maximalist, loves to take everything from life!

In the negative aspect: braggart, bully, very fond of status things and objects, pretentious. He is impatient and always looking for adventure. Can engage in dangerous extreme sports. He often acts for show, clowns around a lot, or flaunts too much, challenging everyone. Rebel. You should not count on the loyalty of such a man. All his love may lie in sex, and even then as a competitive sport. At best, it’s a way to have a good time. The Knight of Wands wants everything at once. If it is impossible to get what he wants, he becomes furious, becomes aggressive and uncontrollable. In addition to being violent and uncontrollable, he is also unreliable and unpredictable. Due to a violent temperament, a person gets turned on at any moment. And it’s like a fire that burns the entire area. Due to rashness, recklessness and impatience, such a person creates discord and destruction around himself. Selfishness, temper, stubbornness - all this makes communication with such a person unbearable.

Professions and field of activity: Entrepreneur. Driver. Athlete.

The main meaning: the appearance in the life of a person or some event that will reveal something hitherto unknown to you: in the outside world or in yourself. Through the Knight of Wands, a change of views, an expansion of horizons and horizons can occur.

In the state of the Knight of Wands, you can move mountains! Even if you get into a trap, you can easily get out of it. Nobody can stop you. The energy of this card can also give rise to a strong, uncontrollable desire for change. I want to stand up to my full height, stretch, run, and generally act actively and with pleasure. You may be possessed by the spirit of adventurism, distant travels, or philosophical and religious research. But of course, for such profound changes, more than just one Knight will require the Major Arcana: Hierophant, Devil, Judgment, Fool, Hermit, Peace. In any case, you will urgently want to expand the horizons of your world, to feel that you are living and not existing. The dynamic energy of this Knight will give you courage to take actions that you would never have dared to do before!

Negative, inverted position: The risk is not justified, events will turn out completely differently than you expected, troubles on the road, a bad trip. Forced relocation. The card is fiery, and therefore, in the context of the question and taking into account other cards in the layout, it can speak of excessive heat, exaggeration, or too much effort, which can only harm the matter. This card is very impatient.

A person who comes through the inverted Knight of Wands brings confusion, discord, and a breakdown in relationships. It may also indicate the presence of a lover or mistress with a permanent partner, especially in combination with cards: Empress, Emperor, Queen of Cups, 3 of Cups, etc.

Desires boil inside, but unlike a card in an upright position, they do not have a constructive outlet or method of implementation. Therefore, they can suddenly break out, regardless of the inappropriateness of place and time.

Interpretation in layouts:

Unlike the Page of Wands, the Knight certainly knows what he wants and how he can achieve it, and moreover: he is ready to start doing it immediately!

With the Chariot (7th Arcana) – travel.

With the Devil (15 Arcana) – desperate adventurer

With the Moon (18th Arcana) – a shady person, a fraudster. Not who he says he is.

With the Five of Wands, sparks fly from a person.

With the Five of Swords - a quarrelsome, violent bully.

With the Eight of Wands - immediate departure.

With the Two of Cups - strong passion in relationships.

In the modern understanding of the Tarot, the Figured Arcana are usually considered as aspects of the character of the questioner himself or those around him, but the traditional meaning of the Knight of Wands does not relate to the individual at all. These are separation, departure, care, flight, desertion, absence (“someone on the run”), relocation, emigration, change of address. In layouts, it indicates an absent person, a person who can change the questioner’s situation, and the fact that the events indicated by other cards have already begun.

In the most traditional version, the card foreshadows a trip, business trip, journey or adventure. It could also be just an adventure for the purpose of having fun. The Knight of Wands disrupts the routine with his activity, and gives people who have been sitting too long to shake off the dust from their ears. Perhaps it is for this reason that the card clearly does not have the best reputation among ancient interpreters. When life flowed more measuredly and sedately, the appearance of the Knight of Wands foreshadowed “troubles,” which in themselves were something out of the ordinary.

But even now, this card foreshadows a state of high activity, stress, haste, bustle, an exciting flow of events, when time is simply on our heels and we have to do everything at once, because we are suddenly required to do this “everything at once”. It's a hot, hectic time, a period of turmoil and tension, but you won't be bored.

The Knight of Wands experiences a flash of enthusiasm, an infusion of fresh strength. Energy, initiative, willingness to act, pioneering spirit. His element is storm and stress, impulsiveness and spontaneity. If he has already appeared, the readiness to attack is obvious. The main strength of the Knight of Wands is the indomitable desire to move forward. How this will manifest itself and with what result - other cards will tell you.

She can be a significator of a person who makes changes in our lives, and very quickly. Here there is great inspiration, ardor, enthusiasm, ease of rise and readiness to move mountains, but... The Knight of Wands is a sprinter, he does not last long (in contrast, the Knight of Pentacles is a marathon runner). This feature must be remembered, no matter what the matter concerns. But still, the internal energy of this map is capable of setting in motion surprisingly large and dense layers of existence and moving existing glaciers. The Knight of Wands brings a fresh spirit to the most dead-end and stale matters. In the broadest sense, this card carries the message of a change in the current position and situation (“perestroika”), all that remains is to apply this interpretation to the context of the situation.

With this map, the time factor is never taken into account. This is expressed, firstly, in the fact that everything happens very quickly. Indecently fast. And secondly, the fact is that everything happens much slower than it seems in the fever of the Knight of Wands. It seems to him that there is only five minutes to do here. In reality, everything takes two days, if not more. This is how he lives - always pushing time and always not keeping up with it.

Adventurous! The worn saddle creaks again and the wind of wandering blows into my ears. The Knight of Wands gives courage, bravery, an optimistic approach to life and self-confidence. In this sense, he has a strong will - he knows how to motivate (but not hold back). He is confident in himself and knows what he wants - “everything at once!”

The Knight of Wands is a very independent, charismatic and creative comrade, a changeable and impulsive nature. Daredevil, adventurer, troublemaker, “crazy but nice young man.” Obligations and restrictions disgust him no less than the Jester. The card indicates that a person is in search of new experiences, he is possessed by a thirst for new experience and a huge desire to try his hand at something and then say “I did it!” Why, for what purpose, at what cost - all these questions are taken out of the equation. His classic image is that of a daredevil, a daring young rake (possibly female), attractive and enthusiastic. He makes a great impression, ignites and inspires, but again we must remember that this is a sprinter. Its shine won't last long. More than anything else, the Knight of Wands loves excitement, a surge of adrenaline. Free fall, extreme surfing, racing cars, unbridled sex, jumping on a motorcycle from roof to roof... oh this youth, when will it finally end?! (replica of the King of Swords surgeon putting more stitches on the daredevil). His problem is that actions not performed with high energy, by definition, do not interest him and cause boredom. His sensitivity to subtle vibrations and low-energy phenomena is negligible, and the development of the water (intuitive) aspect of fire is yet to come (the next step is the Queen of Wands).

The Knight of Wands speaks of achieving a very active mode of life, when enthusiasm, energy, and enterprise come to us, we boldly move in all four directions and bravely face any events and turns.

Alchemically, the Knight of Wands personifies fire that is literally choking on oxygen. This is the airy aspect of fire, the path from darkness to light. This is a feverish state of mind. The heat burning in the heart uncontrollably excites and drives you in search of new impressions. In this state it is literally impossible to sit still. Therefore, it carries, in the broadest sense, the meaning of a change in position or position, movement and movement towards the unknown. The fiery coloring of the card, the scarlet plume associated with the image of a burning torch, pyramidal hills, salamanders on a sunny yellow cloak - all this is a clear indication of the element of fire. Yellow is the color of the sun, it correlates with the energy necessary for activity in the material world. In the Hindu tradition, this color is associated with the third chakra, which is the center of the will. Desire and will are presented here in an exceptionally intense form, they require extreme freedom in any sphere, and when annoying obstacles arise, temper, intolerance and rashness easily arise. The conscious mind must recognize the creative self and recognize human limitations - this is the highest task of the Arcana. Overall, he is evolving towards the King of Wands (through the "watery" aspect of the Queen - developing a more accurate sensitivity to both reality and the inner impulses of other people and gaining an understanding of who and what can be inspired). As he walks his own path, he gradually gains the determination to truly persevere in achieving his goals and lead people with him, awakening in them not only admiration, but also a sense of belonging.

The Knight of Wands is a reckless and ebullient opponent of everything outdated and boring. He seeks every opportunity to accomplish great feats, correct what is wrong in this world, or simply demonstrate courage and fortitude. He is directed, in general, to the same thing as the King of Wands, but he lacks the stability of the motive (if the King is “fire of fire,” then unstable, changeable, “windy” air interferes with the structure of the Knight), in addition, he plays to the public to a much greater extent. The King's fire is capable of lifting a rocket into space, the Knight's fire is capable of burning half the city during the New Year's fireworks display. However, his flame is not empty or intended only for the public. It is the uncontrollably proud and ardent Knight of Wands who rushes around with such concepts as honor, valor, nobility and glory. He cannot disown them with logic (Swords), subordinate them to practical considerations (Pentacles), or drown them in emotions (Chalices), because he experiences them completely essentially, considering them something like a higher duty. It is the Wands that encourage you to enter into unequal battles without retreating a step. Swords are not characterized by such heroism, and they do not at all consider such behavior to be a glorious achievement. Why if there is no chance? Retreat for now, then you will get even... Swords do not understand reckless marches to a frontal attack - it is the Wands that move into it (the prototype of the Luciferic rebellion). If they consider it a matter of honor, it is impossible to persuade them to take care of themselves. In such situations, they diligently keep their honor intact, for their enemies, from those who love them and to whom they are dear.

Astrologically, the Knight of Wands represents the characteristics of the fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Changes. Perhaps the emergence of new attractive options (compared to the current situation).

The Knight of Wands reversed is considered to indicate non-payment of loans, outstanding loans, money borrowed and a debtor on the run.

Adventurism and enterprise in love. I don’t want to compare a person like the Knight of Wands to a match, although in some ways it would be very accurate. Rather, it is a bunch of dry straw that ignites instantly and burns out just as quickly. Such is the fiery passion for this Arcanum. The Knight of Wands is too much of a fidget to be relied upon. Conquer impromptu? Please! He grabs his partner like a child grabs a new toy, only to throw it into a corner a minute later. So to speak, “loves dearly, leaves silently.” He strives for new acquaintances, but is much more attached to freedom than to those with whom he has hot affairs. Constancy and responsibility are not about him, although the novel can be exciting and unpredictable. According to the Knight of Wands, a person takes the initiative, flirts easily, turns his head, makes dates... the main thing is that he then remembers where, when and to whom. This is a conqueror who storms the fortress he likes without much thought. His frankness, demandingness and pressure can stun a more shy partner until he is speechless (and silence will be interpreted as a sign of consent). He needs “everything at once” in love just as much as in everything else. The Knight of Wands is quite honest and noble, but it is clear from his eyes that it is difficult for him to restrain himself, and delicacy and patience cost him dearly.

Strong instincts, bright sexual temperament, sparks just fly. Excitability and impatience, a person flares up like dry brushwood. This is where “African passion” and violent sex on the first date threaten. The issue of protection will be difficult to resolve, but here it is absolutely necessary (firstly, the Knight of Wands is fickle and careless, and secondly, he personifies situations in which no one thinks about the consequences, but this does not mean that they will not arise) . In intimate relationships, the Knight of Wands is as energetic as in everything else, and before kissing him, it makes sense to fill your lungs with air, since he is unlikely to provide an opportunity to catch your breath. Sex as an adventure and a childish urgency to satisfy desires. It is worth warning that he tends to cool down in the morning after a stormy night (regardless of gender), and he may not at all strive for a new date. The Knight of Wands loves to boast and show off. He is vain and self-confident. At the same time, he has so much life, recklessness and charm that it’s hard not to love him. It is difficult to imagine a more irresistible and “inappropriate” partner for a person striving for reliability in a relationship, but he is the one who cannot resist - the Knight of Wands brings enchanting liberation from routine, which has set the teeth on edge of the respectable man in the street who is tired of serving her. The Knight of Wands is, in general, like an actor in an action film - he is secondary to the fast-paced action on screen. He, like no one else, is able to give, even for a short time, such brightness and fullness of life, to make you forget about problems, everyday life and worries to such an extent that this alone is worth a lot. The paradox is that he himself as a person most likely will not be very memorable, but the time spent with him will be unforgettable. It will be remembered all my life as one of the most dizzying and happiest.

The evolutionary task of the Knight of Wands himself is to move to the next level of development, submitting to love (the Queen of Wands as the water aspect of fire) and rising above himself.

A storm in a teacup, difficulties in implementing events, stopping at full speed. Bickering, discussions, debates, protests, altercations, rejections and refusals, upset deals and negotiations on them. Discord, fight, discord, division. Intra-team rivalry, envy, temper, tense atmosphere. Disagreements, break of friendship. Parting, flight. Traditionally considered an indicator of an unsuccessful marriage, a broken marriage, associated with grooms on the run, leaving husbands. This is also a card of jealousy and sexual hooliganism, such as seduction into an argument.

Some person who causes a lot of trouble and trouble, a disorderly amateur, a violent hooligan or a desperate swindler. Perhaps he feels left out, unsatisfied, he simply has nowhere to put himself.

Interestingly, one of the traditional meanings of the inverted Knight of Wands: parties, factions, groups (including criminals, gangsters). It carries the spirit of fundamental immorality (the main principle: have no principles).

Tarot fortune telling takes a lot of effort and free time, but as a result, something unknown, mysterious and incredible is revealed to an experienced magician. The future that people fear, the dangers that await them in the near future, chances that cannot be avoided under any circumstances.

A deck of Tarot cards does not need advertising or recommendations; those who have turned to a magical attribute for help know its true power, while for others the arguments will be insignificant. Despite everything, the collection of ancient fortune-telling symbols has not changed over the past hundred, two hundred years. Each sign printed on one of the cards contains hidden knowledge.

The Knight of Wands is a symbol of unexpected and exciting changes

The Knight of Wands Tarot is a symbol of advancement, transformation and change, so unexpected and exciting. How to correctly interpret this sign and what does its sacred meaning depend on?

Knight of Wands in Tarot in the famous fortune telling deck

A map of actions and deeds that cannot tolerate delay - the Knight from the suit of Wands, does not create the future, everything that an ancient symbol can do, advice that the questioner can refuse at any time. The representative of the Posokhov suit, the prototype of a young man with noble intentions, encourages a person to take decisive steps.

If we are talking about an upcoming trip, then all your travel plans will come true without problems. Along with favorable meanings, the Knight Card marks the excessive impulsiveness of the questioner, unable to soberly assess what is happening.

What does the Knight of the Staff card tell you?

The enthusiasm inherent in the prototype does not always play into its hands. Sometimes haste in making a decision plays a cruel joke on the questioner. Some actions should be carefully considered before jumping into the pool headlong.

The desire to achieve a goal in a short time can lead to undesirable consequences. The knight warns against transactions with unverified people or changing jobs without subsequent guarantees. The freshness that the Knight from the Staves suit predicts is not a negative card; its meaning is directed towards a person’s internal aspirations.

Serious changes, sometimes fateful turning points, promise the end of the old way of life. There is no need to be afraid of inevitable changes, because the passing of the old makes room for something new and truly worthwhile. The nearest cards that fell after the Knight will indicate the outcome of the changes, predict moments that should be feared or avoided. It is necessary to interpret such a symbol especially carefully and carefully, because one incorrect forecast can cost the veracity of the entire fortune-telling.

The Knight of Wands can symbolize a radical change of residence

Moves are also marked in the layout by the Knight card from the suit of Wands. Business trips or a radical change of place of residence - neighboring symbols will indicate the right path. In any case, the Knight is favorable if he is in an upright position.

Knight of the Staff in reversed position

The Knight of Staves inverted is a special sign in the deck that precedes negative changes in the life of the questioner. Having seen the card of Staves, there is no need to despair or be upset; any situation that has not yet occurred can be changed at the will of the questioner.

Common meaning of a card depicting a noble knight:

a risk that does not pay off;
unforeseen obstacles on the way to the desired goal;
forced change of residence;
uncomfortable living conditions in a new place;
increased stress associated with moving;
suspension of an important project, freezing of a case;
many small troubles;
haste, which promises new troubles;
conflicts.

A predominantly negative card predicts conditions in which a person may become bogged down.

Difficulties at work and in communicating with loved ones will end in depression and disappointment. The inverted position of the Knight is not a reason for frustration, because the one who is warned is already armed.

New knowledge, even with a negative message, can be turned into a powerful weapon against future adversity. Taking advantage of the warning of the representative of the suit of Wands, the questioner will emerge victorious from any situation.

People are the prototype of the card Knight of the Staves suit

In order to characterize a particular person (notable character traits, manners, principles and moral principles), special cards are used that are part of the classic Tarot deck. The upright and inverted positions of the same card - the Knight of Staffs - are characterized by completely different types of people.

The pointer in the layout does not always mean the questioner; sometimes such a person may turn out to be someone from his close circle. What people are shown in the prediction by the Knight card? Persons commemorated by a strong card in the Tarot deck have the following qualities:

Activity

The prototype of the Knight of Wands is an active person who cannot stand still

For people of the prototypes of the Knight, inaction is unacceptable, even sinful. Active, in constant motion, such a person cannot sit in one place.

Strong-willed character

People who fit the description of the Knight card are not afraid of difficulties and competition is quite common for them. Militant, ready to defend their own interests, the prototypes of the Knight are always on the alert in professional and love affairs.

Spring zodiac signs

Often Tarot cards reflect a certain earthly element and become the patrons of certain astrological signs. Such prominent representatives of the Knight card include Aries and Gemini.

Romance

People can look at the world differently. For some, the environment is a collection of rules and restrictions, for others, colors that have received form and personification. The romantic nature of a person is predicted by the Knight symbol in an inverted position. A person with a sensitive perception of the world reacts sharply to any changes in his usual environment.

Competitive spirit

For people whose patron is the Knight card, competitions and contests are the best way to release energy.

Haste

A person cannot wait for the allotted time, he is lost in inaction and the calm atmosphere puts pressure on him worse than difficulties. A prominent representative of the Knight in the Tarot deck does not like to rely on chance; if there is such an opportunity, he will prefer hasty actions and emergency measures.

Taken together or individually, the characteristic features of the questioner or his relatives allow us to assert that the Knight card from the Staves suit appeared in a special layout for a specific purpose. The meaning of the Tarot card Knight of Wands is an equivalent part of the truthful layout.

Special schedules for the future

The Knight of Wands Tarot card takes on clearer features in special rather than general layouts. When a questioner asks one single question, the Tarot deck is happy to provide a definite answer. Knight of Wands meaning in forecasts covers all areas of human life.

For personal life, the Knight is not a critically good or negative symbol. How and under what circumstances the forecast will come true depends only on the further plans of the questioner. Light flirting, which will develop into something more, is predicted by the Knight; it does not carry a clear idea of what status the partners will have in the new union.

The Knight of Wands says that soon you will experience light flirting, which will develop into something more

Time spent together will bring a lot of joy and pleasure, but it is unlikely to last long. Ease of communication is the main message of the ancient symbol of the Tarot deck.

The reverse side of the image of the Knight of the Staff in the Tarot

The second side of fortune telling with the help of the Knight of Staves is passion, an all-consuming desire to which the questioner will succumb in the near future. A confrontation between two independent personalities can develop into a whirlwind romance.

Bold actions and unexpected decisions are predicted by the Knight card in a personal life reading. Jealousy, which will lead an existing relationship to a dead end, is personified by the inverted Knight card. The harmful feeling must remain in the past, otherwise separation from your lover cannot be avoided.

Questions of self-knowledge, which the card with the image of a knight on a horse will help resolve, should not take too much time from the questioner. For a person worried about his own future, the Knight promises the following changes:

persistence in achieving goals;
patience, which is not characteristic of a person in everyday life;
working hard on yourself;
impulsiveness, which is fraught with serious consequences;
the need for a common-sense approach to emerging problems;
dignity and pride.

The Knight card in a self-development reading indicates the need for deep introspection. If a person is confident in his own principles, then sticking to them will not be difficult.

Professional accomplishments predicted by the Knight of Wands card

A horseman from the Posokhov suit indicates the lack of patience, which does not prevent a person from acquiring. To release stagnant energy, it is not necessary to go into confrontation; it is enough to choose an activity that will bring pleasure and self-satisfaction. It would be a good idea to create a schedule in which brain work and physical activity for the whole body will alternate. Playing sports is a good alternative to constant conflicts.

The Knight of Wands in Tarot, the meaning of which is interpreted based on the position of the symbol, its location relative to other cards in the deck and the specificity of the layout itself, is important for the forecast.

Using an ancient magical attribute, the magician accurately predicts the future, helping a person avoid difficulties and crises. Whether to listen to the advice of the Tarot or not, the choice remains with the questioner, who has decided to make dramatic changes in his own life.

Fast movement. Sudden change. A rapidly bursting romance, an event. Emigration. Drop everything. Focus on this. Ardent young man. Capable, sociable, charming, energetic, impetuous. Traveler. Seeker of adventures. Not ready for the wedding. Marriage.

Advice
Speak (act) temperamentally and boldly.

Warning
Avoid ostentatious businesslike behavior, do not raise “noise and dust.”

Card of the day
It's going to be a hot day for you. Either your stormy temperament will make itself felt, and you will want “everything at once,” or you will find yourself in a situation where passions will be heated to the limit. Even if it’s just noise over trifles, today you can give free rein to your feelings and once in your life act according to the dictates of your heart. The main thing is not to make far-reaching plans. Today is not a good day for this. If your emotions require an outlet, choose the right stage for them. Embark on some adventure or just go have fun.

Reversed card
Conflict. Discord in personal life. Braggart. Impulsive, tyrannical. He studies poorly. Plans cannot be realized. He will deceive the girl.

Teresa Francis-Chong, Terry Silvers. "Tarot for Beginners."

< >

The knight rides on a hot, restive horse; in his hand is a rod. The Knight took inspiration from the Page and uses it in his own life. This Knight is a card of active action, adventure and risky ventures. Unlike the Page, the Knight moves quickly. He is riding a horse, which shows that the adventure has already begun. The main colors of the card that catch the eye signify inexperience, primordial strength, rough simplicity and the vividness of the experiences that the knight enjoys. Fire symbolizes movement - and here this quality reaches its extreme. The knight loves to be in the thick of things, but to successfully complete his adventures he needs to have a sense of purpose and direction. Without this, the Knight represents confusion, disorder, thwarted plans and disagreements. This card may represent your own energy, or it may represent someone you know who is impulsive.

Questions to ask yourself if you've drawn the Knight of Wands

Are you starting a new adventure?
What made you lose your temper?
Are you fighting?
What are you trying to prove?

Key ideas

You will enthusiastically take on a new endeavor that requires courage. This is a time of incredible inspiration, sparkling eyes, excitement and enthusiasm. Enjoy the sensations, but don't lose ground. Success will depend on the strength of the foundation and on how sincere and conscious your goals are, on the level of energy, which depends on your mood and on the people around you - whether they will encourage you to achieve feats.

Fortune telling in half a minute

Keen was bored. This card showed that either she would soon meet a person who would encourage Kin to experience new things, or she should rediscover her spirit of adventure. Keen had been considering taking a break from her studies to work abroad on a contract, and the card had indicated that such a trip might be the best option right now.

Annie Lionnet. “Tarot. Practical guide."

< >

The knight gazes forward, ready to accept the challenge that awaits him.

There is a sense of strength and purposefulness in him.

Change of place. Moving. Trips.

The Knight of Wands symbolizes the passion for adventure that takes us into unknown distances. This card combines the enthusiasm and inspired vision of the Wands with the youth and inquisitiveness of the Knight. In Tarot decks, the Knight is usually depicted as an attractive, imposing man, riding a beautiful horse or standing proudly forward. He usually wears a plumed helmet and holds in his hand a staff with leaves blooming on it as a symbol of creative energy. This card represents the many ideals of chivalry, but it also warns against actions with unpredictable consequences.

Symbolism

This card often serves as an incentive for change. The Knight of Wands is full of many ideas that are not always feasible, but can nevertheless inspire us. When the call to us conveyed by this card is in tune with our mood, we can move mountains. If we fall into a trap, we can get out of it. However, this card should warn us against impulsive actions. Her motto, “Act first, think later,” can lead us into a dead end. The Knight of Wands inspires us with a strong desire to experience life in all its forms. Nothing and no one can hold us back. If the Knight of Wands predicts the appearance of a person in our life, then he will be charming, cheerful, full of energy and courageous; but he can also be violent, unreliable and unpredictable.

Interpretation

Choosing the Knight of Wands signifies your readiness to take an important step in your life. You may be moving to a new home or area, or simply feeling a strong sense of change. The knight may herald the emergence of a person who will act as a catalyst for these changes. You may feel a desire to create or study philosophical or religious sciences. Or you may be possessed by an adventurous spirit and a desire to experience new experiences and pleasures. You will want to expand your sphere of life and feel that you are truly living and not just existing. If you have until now felt shackled and unable to change your circumstances, then the dynamic energy of the Knight will give you the strength to undertake efforts that you would never have dared before.

The Knight of Wands is a brave adventurer, spontaneous, creative, hot-headed. It represents the dynamic energies of the fire signs of the zodiac - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. This is a lover - passionate, impulsive and exciting. Sparks fly from him, but he avoids long-term relationships. A romantic encounter awaits you or someone you know. You can be passionate and enthusiastic about several projects at once and not complete any of them. It is possible that you crave freedom of action and the opportunity to explore new areas of life. You are unlikely to tolerate it if something tries to come between you and the object of your aspirations. When faced with a problem, you will invariably invent a way to deal with it, but, like a noble crusader filled with noble fervor, you risk stumbling over details, routine, and systematic dogged care. You may rebel against everything stagnant and old-fashioned and try to revolutionize a system or process. You encourage others to be more spontaneous and not afraid to experiment. You can be impatient, hasty, unpredictable, arrogant, flamboyant, and ostentatious. You are interested in business campaigns, competitive sports, and theater. than goods, as well as seeking new approaches and asking for a challenge. This card suggests that you are forward-thinking and future-oriented. You love and know how to give people motivation and encourage them to revolt and seek. The Knight (Prince) of Wands can indicate travel, changing location and turning ideas into concrete actions. You may be traveling, meeting new interesting people, or working with problems that require instant, improvised solutions. It also means hot, dry weather and overland travel in anything powered by an internal combustion engine.

Traditional meanings: departure, flight, separation, leaving. Travel, trip, change of address. Leaving, abandonment, emigration. Remote, absent, foreign. Moving towards the unknown or unknown. Move, resettle, replant, translate. Swap. Evasion. Change of position or position.

Reversed Knight (Prince) of Wands

The Knight of Wands reversed can represent a disorderly dilettante or a desperate rogue, a winner or a rebel without a cause, a selfish adventurer and braggart, or a violent and quarrelsome bully.

Perhaps you have nowhere to go and nowhere to get strength. Or you are too hot and start at half a turn. Like the fire of a fire, you indiscriminately burn everything you touch. Through impatience, recklessness and rashness, you bring discord and discord into any situation, leaving only ruins and destruction in your wake.

It is quite possible that you have become involved with a criminal company. This card describes a state of confusion and confusion, in which desires boil and wander inside, having neither outlet nor point of application, or suddenly and unpredictably bursting to the surface. In love, you can adopt a "fuck and quit" strategy, where sex becomes a competitive sport and a way to have a good time.

Passions are now either feigned or more like a storm in a teacup. If things are moving too slowly or are disappointing, you are ready to flare up in anger at any moment. Disagreement leads to quarrels, arguments and jealousy. You may feel left out and unsatisfied.

On the other hand, the fire may not break out. You resist change or deny its very possibility, suppress new beginnings, put a spoke in their wheels. As soon as the degree of feelings or relationships approaches the mark of passion, you immediately back down. Travel may be cancelled, delayed or interrupted. In your actions, you are guided solely by your impulses and desires. Try to slow down, stop to breathe in the scent of flowers, and stop looking solely at the future for a minute. The slower movement of the reversed card will only add to your effectiveness and contribute to deeper experiences. But remember that hesitation can ruin any effort. The paradoxical phrase festina lente, or “make haste slowly,” may be very appropriate. Now the knight depicted on the card of the Waite-Smith deck turns from just a passionate person into a conductor of passion.

In terms of health, various hidden disturbances in the functioning of the body are likely, suddenly appearing in the form of boils, abscesses, rashes and inflammations.

From a shamanic and magical point of view, this is, for example, walking on coals, when a person gives up his fear of fire and walks on them unharmed. It is also a pioneer on the inner planes, testing how well sigils, talismans and spells work.

Traditional Reversed Meanings: disunion, separation, quarrels, disagreements. Misunderstanding, alienation. Fight, quarrel, split. Discord, division, separation. Aspiration, competition. Competition, competition. Group, party. Violation, interruption. A break up. Unpaid loan. Unexpected changes.

He has already matured as a person, made a good career and achieved a lot in life. True, he suffers from some workaholism, which gives reason to consider his candidacy as a future husband not very successful.

Inverted - selfishness, stubbornness, hot temper. The upcoming event is problems at work, the threat of dismissal.

Astrological meaning:
Mars in Aries as a symbol of thirst for life, entrepreneurial spirit, energy, impatience and the search for adventure.
HORSEMAN OF WANDS
The Horseman of Wands symbolizes warmth and even heat of the soul, manifested in a thirst for life, passion and enthusiasm, but sometimes turning into impatience, increased excitability, impulsiveness and a tendency to exaggeration. Therefore, a lot depends on what area of our life the question asked relates to, because the answer of the card can mean both warming warmth and scorching heat. The impatience expressed by this card means: I want everything and, if possible, everything at once. If it doesn’t work out right away, or we don’t get everything, we get irritated, excited, and become aggressive. However, the internal energy inherent in the Horseman of Wands, in any case, sets in motion entire layers of existence, melts long-standing ice and introduces a fresh stream into long-familiar situations.

Description

Upright

According to the traditional interpretation of this card, the Knight of Wands means long trips, business trips and adventures. Sometimes it may indicate meeting with friends or visiting relatives. In general, this lasso indicates energy and increased activity in a person’s life, the desire to get everything at once, without making almost any effort.

In the Thoth Tarot, the lasso means creativity, striving for the best and courage; if we are talking about a person, then this is a self-confident, accomplished man.

However, in another Tarot deck, “78 Doors,” this card is characterized a little differently - doubts about something, anxiety, lack of restraint, harshness.

In some readings, the Horseman of Wands may indicate that a person will be under stress due to the hustle and bustle and rapidly changing events in his social and professional life. This is a good period for implementing your own plans, however, it is also worth thinking about your health. Do not forget to take a short rest, otherwise you will not only fail to complete the task, but in addition you will harm yourself.

This lasso of wands can sometimes indicate an influential person occupying a high position in society who will show interest in you.

It can open up a whole world of new opportunities for you, through which you will change your life for the better. Therefore, if you get this card in a reading, don’t be afraid to make new acquaintances, luck is already smiling at you.

Inverted

If at the moment you feel an emotional upsurge and a desire to “move mountains,” then it is far from a fact that by the end of the day you will still be full of determination and enthusiasm.

Another meaning of this card is difficulties on the way to the desired result.. You will have to get down to business, use your connections, talents, cunning, intelligence and acting abilities. In general, the card does not give an unfavorable forecast, however, it warns that you should not expect an easy victory.

Sometimes The inverted Knight of Wands indicates that a person will be separated from someone close to his heart. In such a position, the lasso may foretell a move, leaving work, or a long-awaited meeting with a dear person, which never takes place. You may find yourself drawn into a conflict situation. You should not take anyone’s side, because in the end they may make you guilty.

Value in layouts

Health

Love and relationships

In love affairs, the Knight of Wands promises many new acquaintances and romantic adventures.

Situation

You should grab this chance and show your best side, because all this is just the beginning of something great that awaits you in the future. Calculate your own strengths correctly and do not be afraid to take risks.

In an inverted position, the Knight of Wands indicates the need to work on oneself, one’s thoughts and attitude towards. There is a high probability that you yourself set barriers for yourself and cannot change anything because of the barriers, complexes and fears built in your head.

Job

In the professional sphere, the Horseman of Wands promises you many pleasant moments. The main thing is to maintain the right attitude for as long as possible. Come up with certain motivations for yourself, set goals and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. Success will await you if you first look to the future, propose new ideas and calculate results and profits. Your boss will definitely appreciate your enthusiasm.

The inverted position of this lasso warns that a person may become a victim of his changeable mood. You will be thrown from one extreme to another every now and then: one minute you are sad, the next you are laughing, the next moment you become thoughtful and detached. Get yourself together and leave your impulsiveness for non-work hours. Otherwise, all the efforts you make will not bring any results.

Combination with other Tarot

This day will be full of events and new acquaintances. You may find yourself in the middle of a major conflict in which the nerves of each participant will be tense to the limit. Don't even try to delve into other people's problems. Leave your colleagues, acquaintances and relatives to deal with what happened on their own and think about yourself first.

Let this day be remembered by you for a small but pleasant adventure: go shopping, go to nature, take a walk around the evening city. But it is better to postpone solving financial issues.

In an inverted position, the Knight of Wands recommends that you avoid ostentatious displays of feelings and emotions. Today you should not try to hide anything from others or deceive them. If you do not want to answer a question, say so directly, without subterfuge. People around you may try to provoke you, be restrained and calm.
