The One Who Rides Like She's on Fire

Action and Energy

Knights are agents of action, and the Knight of Wands has the most action of all. She has the energy and commitment to make it happen. She is impulsive and enthusiastic. There is a beautiful, wild fire burning inside of her. She is in love with her ideas and the idea of pursuing them.

Potential Pitfalls

On the other hand, the Knight of Wands may rush in without a clear plan and lose sight of the big picture. She is often not a team player, coming off as aggressive or unyielding to others.

Encouragement and Warning

Sometimes, what you really need to get moving is that fire-under-your-ass Wands energy. In a reading, the Knight of Wands encourages you to start your creative project with enthusiasm. The Knight also serves as a warning to temper all that momentum with a well-considered plan that takes into account possible obstacles and consequences.

Need for Balance

The Knight of Wands needs the influence of discipline to save herself from burning out. Paired with Swords’ intellect, Cups’ emotional consideration, and Pentacles’ grounding, the Knight of Wands can provide the self-confidence needed to move you forward. There is nothing inherently wrong with gusto. Just think it through and point it in the right direction.
