What does Knight of Wands mean in love?

Passionate, fast, exciting, unreliable. Great chemistry, unclear commitment.

The card is honest about the trade rather than disapproving of it. What is on offer is intensity, and intensity is real; what is not on offer is a guarantee that it will still be here in six months.

Reversed, somebody who pursues intensely then vanishes. The tradition treats this as characteristic rather than cruel, and the useful point is that the pursuit was sincere at the time, which is exactly what makes the disappearance so confusing to be on the end of.

As somebody's feelings, it reads as hot, immediate and undirected at anything long-term. Take it at face value rather than as a promise.

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.

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.

Upright: action, passion, adventure, boldness, impulsiveness

Reversed: recklessness, burnout, arrogance, frustration

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