This card symbolizes pure heat and energy. This can be a blessing and a curse. The King of Wands bristles with creativity and he is gifted with uncanny foresight. He has learned to trust his instincts and they have been so finely tuned that they lead him from one stellar success to the next.
Widely educated and rich in experience, he keeps his sights on the future and the bigger picture. Details, however, frustrate the King of Wands. They slow him down and when he skips over them, they can develop into bigger problems.
It’s quite appropriate to call him a “mercurial” man. His temper can turn on a dime. One moment, he’s the funniest, most charming person you’ll ever meet. The next, he’ll spit lightning and fire. This can make it frustrating to be around him for long periods of time.
