Knight of Wands
The Knight of Wands signals sudden activity that disrupts the usual course of events, bringing powerful but short-term energy and a tendency to rush and multitask. It can represent a person who brings change or unrestrained force, which keeps you very busy but may cause stress. The card advises acting quickly if a goal can be achieved in a short time, but to curb enthusiasm and sort out feelings if a task requires more time. Reversed, this energy can turn inward and become explosive, leading to impatience, conflict, or damaging relationships. Overall, beware of busywork that creates the illusion of productivity and prioritize clarity before setting goals.

Visual Description
An armored knight rides a spirited brown horse that lifts a front leg as if in mid-stride. He holds a long staff upright in his right hand and wears plate armor with a helmet; a flaming plume or banner streams from his back. The horse is decorated with ornate tack and a bronzed headpiece; both horse and rider face slightly to the right. A pale blue sky and green grassy landscape form the background, and a ribbon at the bottom bears Cyrillic text.
