What's on the card
A knight in armor and a tunic patterned with salamanders rides a rearing horse, holding a wand. Around him is a desert with pyramids, and red plumes stream from his helmet.
Knight of Wands upright
The Knight of Wands is a bold dash: a move, a new project, a decision you've put off for a long time. He acts fast and with gusto, and that rubs off on others. The card backs movement as long as the urge has a goal. If you want to pitch your idea at work, prepare a short one-page plan and show it in the next few days.
Knight of Wands reversed
The urge runs ahead of the plan: things get dropped halfway, decisions get made in the heat of the moment. Impatience can lead you the wrong way. Put a big decision off for a week and check whether you still want it as much.
Knight of Wands in love and relationships
The relationship is full of passion, trips and spontaneous meetings. Your partner may be vivid but changeable, so watch what they do, not what they promise. For someone single, the card brings a quick infatuation worth testing with time.
Knight of Wands in career and money
Time for bold steps: a job change, a launch, negotiations. Speed helps when you know where you're running. Set yourself a checkpoint a month from now and see what the dash actually gave you.
Knight of Wands: yes or no
Yes Boldness and speed are on your side. Move fast, but set yourself one checkpoint.
Reversed. No Not now: impatience could take you the wrong way. Wait a week and check whether you still want it as much.
Knight of Wands as your card of the day
Plenty of energy, and you want to act right now. Spend it on one bold move: call about the job, start the repairs, pitch your plan.
Reversed. The urge is running ahead of the plan, and that's how things get broken. Slow down for a minute. Before a big decision, count to ten and say the consequences out loud.
A question for the evening: Where did my rush help today, and where did it hurry me?
