Knight of Wands · As Advice

What is Knight of Wands advising?

Knight of Wands read as instruction rather than description. What to actually do when this card appears in an advice position.

As advice

Bold, decisive movement. Passion, adventure, charging at it.

Excellent when speed matters more than precision, which is a real category of situation and one where deliberation is the expensive option. Travel and relocation are common literal readings.

As a person he is exciting to be around and the thing he is best at is starting, which is genuinely valuable and is not the same as being able to finish.

Reversed

Recklessness, arrogance, burning out. Starting hard and leaving.

Or the energy blocked: frustration with no outlet, which is this figure's worst state because the volume does not reduce when the direction disappears.

The reading worth watching is the pattern rather than the instance. One abandoned venture is a decision; four is a description.

Keywords

Upright: action, passion, adventure, boldness, impulsiveness

Reversed: recklessness, burnout, arrogance, frustration

Journal prompts

  • Where would decisive action beat more consideration?
  • What have I charged into that I should have read first?

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.
