KNIGHT OF WANDS DESCRIPTION
Just look at the blazing plume of lion hair on the helmet and the flames shooting from the arm of the Knight with which he holds his horse’s reins.
The Knight’s yellow tabard represents the intellectual prowess and swiftness of air. It is embroidered with salamanders, representing his fiery energy. As the air aspect of fire, this card combines power and speed.
In the Knight of Wands, the clear sky above shows clarity and understanding. The ground below is clear of obstacles. The horse symbolizes his raw power. It is charging forward with the same force of will as that of the rider.
The three pyramids in the distance show that his quest could well be a spiritual one. A ruler must also inspire others. For this, he needs charisma.
The short wand in his right-hand expresses his vitality and creativity. No, it’s not much of a weapon, but as the open visor shows, this Knight is not on a mission of the war.

REVERSED KNIGHT OF WANDS

The reversed Knight of Wands Tarot card isn’t good at dealing with opposition or interruptions. They confuse him. His single-mindedness allows him to do amazing things when everything is going as planned.
But his brain can’t wrap itself around the idea that things don’t always do. Even minor complications can cause him to lose heart or lash out in anger. The Knight’s restless nature can also lead him to stir up trouble, just so he can prove himself to others –like a bored teenager. The reversed Knight of Wands, though it can sometimes indicate some sort of setback or delay, is still a very positive and upbeat card. It can sometimes indicate a person in your life, usually a relatively cheerful, good-hearted, energetic man with hair on the lighter end of the spectrum. He is trustworthy, in general. General: Knights are often a sign that you are about to get a message, whether they show up in a reading reversed or upright. Unfortunately though, if you are using the reversals for interpretation, the Knight of Wands in reverse can signify that the message will be along the lines of "There will be a delay, you will have to wait."If so, try to wait patiently. This Knight means what he says. Work: There may be some sort of interruption with work. For example, you may be pulled away from the work you prefer to attend some sort of training or meeting. Or the building you work in may literally be shut down for a few days. Try to take this with as good an attitude as you can muster. If you are looking for work, hiring decisions may be delayed. Don't worry too much - it won't help. Love: The Knight of Wands reversed can indicate stress and minor arguments in an existing relationship. Try to get to the bottom of what is really happening. If you are looking for love, it's possible that you think you may have found "the one" and a permanent commitment may even come about. Be as sure as it is possible to be that you know what you are getting into before you "tie the knot." You could be rushing things. |

Finances: There are sometimes arguments and disagreements over money when the Knight of Wands appears reversed. Keep your head, take things one step at a time and do some soul searching about money. People often have issues and attachments to money which are not what they seem to be on the surface. This is definitely not a time to gamble.
Health: This is not a time to overdo it with regard to exercise or new health regimens. Yes, you must support your health, but you don't want to sabotage yourself by going overboard. Be honest with and get advice from medical professionals that you trust before undertaking a new, strict regimen, whether that's with diet, exercise, or simply with taking several new supplements.
