What does King of Wands mean as someone's feelings?

King of Wands drawn to describe how someone feels, with an honest note on what a card can and cannot tell you about another person's inner life.

As feelings

A committed, protective, decisive partner with a strong sense of direction.

He is warm, generous and certain, and the certainty is the thing to watch: a partner who knows what the two of you are doing is reassuring right up to the point where you wanted to be asked.

Reversed, somebody who leads a relationship without consulting it. That is rarely deliberate and is usually experienced by the other person as a slow loss of say in their own life.

As somebody's feelings, he reads as decided, warm and protective: this person has made up their mind about you and is unlikely to be subtle about it.

What a card can honestly tell you here

A card drawn to represent another person's feelings does not read their mind. What it can do is describe the dynamic as it reaches you: what is being expressed, what the shape of the connection is from where you sit.

That is a real answer and a smaller one than the question usually wants. Readers who promise more than that are not being straight with you.

A better question with the same card: what is this connection actually like, and what do I need from it?

Upright

Leadership with vision behind it. Take charge.

Long-range thinking backed by the authority to execute, which is the combination that distinguishes him from the Knight: the same fire, aimed, and answerable for where it lands.

Bold, decisive, and genuinely responsible for the outcome. That last part is what makes him a king rather than an enthusiast, and it is the part that is hardest to sustain.

Reversed

Domineering, impatient with anybody slower, all vision and no delivery.

The impatience is the most common and the most costly, because it removes exactly the people who would have executed the vision.

Also read for a leader who has stopped listening, which usually begins as confidence that was earned and hardens into an assumption that the room has nothing to add.

Keywords

Upright: leadership, vision, entrepreneurship, authority, decisiveness

Draw it for yourself

Reading about a card is not the same as drawing one. A single-card reading takes about a minute and answers your question rather than a general one.
