Knight of Wands
Aim first. Ask questions later.
Yes or no?
Bold action and adventure. Yes, but don't be reckless with it.
The card
A knight in a salamander-covered surcoat rides a rearing horse through a desert at full charge, wand thrust forward, plumes flying. He looks magnificent and may have no plan beyond going faster.
If this card were a person
They book the flight and figure out the details on the way to the airport. They mistake caution for cowardice and speed for virtue, and they're thrilling company until you're the one left holding the plan they dropped halfway through.
Upright meaning
Charging forward at full speed. Bold action is called for, just check the brakes first.
Full speed forward, with the kind of confidence that gets things moving. Know where you're headed before you arrive, though. The horse doesn't know the destination.
Intense and exciting, all chase. A person or phase of a relationship that's magnetic and fast-moving. Fun while it lasts. Check whether it can last before you count on it.
Planning time is over. Move fast on the opportunity and make the pitch, but know where you'll stop if it goes wrong.
Work out the boldest move you could make on your current goal and do it this week. Skip the safe version.
Reversed meaning
Reckless, scattered, or a knight in flight instead of fight.
Recklessness passing for courage, or a charge that stalled and left you sitting in a field wondering where the drive went. Either way, slow down and correct course.
All heat, no depth. An exciting connection that refuses to develop, or someone who pursues hard and disappears the moment things get real. Know what you're dealing with.
Moving fast into bad decisions, or a sprint that's run out of gas before the goal. Check the actual objective and make sure the pace serves it.
Before the next big move, write down what you're actually trying to achieve in two sentences. If the bold action still serves that objective, go. If it doesn't, redirect.
