Meaning
Description
The Knight of Wands is, for lack of a better word, kind of a badass. Their way of being is fearless, eager, unafraid to face-plant in the pursuit of a new trick. Fabulous, bold, and loud, they turn heads and don't mind the stares, and if someone doesn't approve of them, well, fuck the haters. They are foolish and glorious in the pursuit of their dreams, taking risks and making moves, always creative and always active, always running after their Next Big Thing.
Encouragement
When the Knight of Wands appears, they encourage us to be bold in the pursuit of our goals and to take action with energy and verve. They don't care how improbable the dream, they send us forth anyway, blazing with the confidence that we'll succeed, but ready to take our knocks on the chin if we don't.
Passion
Passion is the most important thing, the Knight knows. Chase your passion wherever it leads.
Cautions
The Knight of Wands does have a tendency toward recklessness, however, so if the card is ill-aspected in a reading, we'd do well to think twice before we act. Likewise, the Knight's confidence can turn to over-confidence, their bravery to impulsivity, and their showmanship to showing off.
Imagery
Our card shows a skateboarder mid-trick, hanging in air, recklessly sans helmet. Fast, flashy, and focused, wind in their hair and eyes on their goal, they are in their element. If they fall, then they fall. But this adrenaline moment, this is gold.

Visual Description
A seated woman with shoulder-length blond hair sits confidently in a red upholstered armchair, legs crossed and wearing dark trousers and green shoes. A black cat perches on her left shoulder while she holds a slender, flowering wand in her right hand; the wand has a small yellow blossom and a few green leaves. She wears a light shirt with a green tie or scarf, fishnet gloves, and the chair casts a patterned shadow on the floor; the card title 'QUEEN OF WANDS' appears at the bottom.
