The Knight of Wands


The man represented by the Knight of Wands will be a loving and open-hearted person, with a strong sense of morality and a great sense of humour. He will be active, energetic and willing to help. You often find these types of men in the healing professions, or in other areas where they are required to assist, guide and support others.
.
He's a man with a deep respect for life and all living things, attuned to Nature and to the creatures of the earth. He has a deep well of compassion which spills over readily to anyone who needs his help, but he also has the restraint to know when too much assistance is a bad thing. Then he will act to enable and empower, rather than to assisting.
.
He's a faithful, and dedicated family man, being fully engaged in the domestic situation. His life reflects his high ethical standards, though he is not given to sermonising, nor standing in judgement on others. He could be defined as an idealistic realist - accepting the frailties of the race, whilst doing his best to strengthen it.
.
His faults spring from his good points - for instance, he dislikes causing pain, and will therefore delay when he needs to act if he thinks it will hurt other people. He will sometimes remain in limiting or painful circumstances because of this. His sense of rightness and duty is intense, and sometimes drives him to make foolish choices and decisions. He will shy away from conflict and unpleasant situations, especially when these arise as a result of his own needs, though he will never walk away from a struggle on behalf of somebody else.
.
If you are regarding this card as a spiritual change, then see it as an indication that the warrior of right and light is required - you'll need to stand up for something that matters, and which is unable to defend itself.

www.facade.com - Curious Tarot/One Card relationship reading
The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Knight of Wands: The essence of fire, such a great conflagration. One filled with vitality and passion for life. A sexy and exciting person, daring in their actions, cocky in their attitude, and utterly without fear. Absolute sincerity, coupled with violent emotions that swing wildly from one extreme to another. Boundless creativity and lust for a change of both pace and place. The rapid approach, or more likely departure, of something that sets your world ablaze. Often suggests travel or escape.

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A close partnership is showing signs of strain. In the past, you were able to laugh at each other's foibles. Now you're issuing harsh criticisms instead of light hearted jokes. A little distance will make all the difference. Sneak off to some private hideaway where you can think, reflect, and relax. Deep down inside, you have tremendous affection for your friend. Being constantly thrown together has caused your patience to wear thin. You can have too much of a good thing.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You can't see the forest for the trees. Lately, you've been so intent on meeting deadlines that you've forgotten why you are working in the first place. Your boss is making unfair demands on you. Instead of scrambling to meet unrealistic goals, stand up for yourself. Demand more time and more money. You don't realise it, but your words carry a great deal of weight with the powers that be. Fortunately, a romantic partner is poised to give all the support you need.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) It feels like fun times are long gone. Nothing could be further from the truth! If you want amusement, you will have to look for it. Get into the habit of devoting one hour each day to pleasure. Reading, writing, playing cards, enjoying sport the more varied your routine, the better. Sparks are flying between you and a colleague. If you do have a romantic encounter, it might be wise to look for another job. Mixing business with pleasure is always more complicated than you think.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Caring for a relative has become exhausting. You must get some help before you burn out altogether. Enlist the aid of a neighbour who has experience dealing with this kind of problem. Lately, you've been neglecting your favourite hobbies. Take this opportunity to make a delicious meal, organise a scrapbook, or decorate a room. You're the type who needs to exercise your creativity to be happy. Too much drudgery will only frustrate and irritate you.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Lack of education is stopping you getting the type of job you want. Fortunately, an experienced family member can teach you what you have to know, provided you give the proper compensation and respect. Just because you have a close relationship doesn't mean you can order your instructor around. Always remember that you are the student and your relative is the teacher. In time, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for their abilities. You can't judge a book by its cover.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You're worried about finances, and with good reason. Lately, you've been working harder and getting fewer returns. You must find a new source of income. Launching a small business will prove profitable, even if it's as simple as walking your neighbour's dogs. Alternatively, you might decide freelance writing. You have a gift for communication. Why not write about a subject that really fascinates you, then submit it your favourite publication.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Working too hard is making you miserable. You have to strike a balance between your personal and public lives. Spending all of your time on obligations robs you of valuable energy. You're the type who needs a vibrant social life to thrive. Reduce your hours and attend a party. Meet with friends for drinks. Arrange a fun outing with relatives. Being with people that you love and appreciate puts a spring in your step and a sparkle in your eyes.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Stop letting your fears run away with you. It's essential to take a great risk, even when it terrifies you to do so. If you're suffering from a severe phobia, hypnotherapy can help. You'll feel so much better when you conquer this demon. Improving your appearance will boost your confidence, too. Go ahead and splurge on a new hairstyle, fashionable clothes, or a handsome pair of shoes. It's easy to exude authority when you look your best.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You've been working so hard towards a goal without making very much progress. It's incredibly frustrating. Instead of doubling your efforts, make a strategic retreat. Go where you can be alone. When you escape the distractions of email, phone messages, and texts, you'll be able to do some soul searching. Maybe you have to build a new dream. Letting go of the old one will be sad, but liberating. Luckily, you have many talents and interests, so it shouldn't be difficult to switch gears.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Try as you might, you just can't summon that much ambition. Normally, you have your eyes set firmly on some goal, and do everything in your power to achieve it. Now you're starting to wonder if all that hard work has been worth it. Part of the problem is you have been neglecting your friends. Surrounding yourself with people you love and admire is critical to your emotional health. Their insight to your true motivations, plus their appreciation for your gifts, keeps you grounded.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You'll have to cancel a trip at the last minute, which is really annoying. It will be impossible to seal a business deal until you take this journey. Unfortunately, none of the pieces are in place yet, so you will have to be patient. Let your family make a fuss over you. In the past, you brushed off their efforts to pamper and pet you. Don't make that mistake now, when you're in desperate need of tender loving care.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Joint resources are running low. You have to restore your savings, even if it means curtailing some of your leisure time. Opportunities related to teaching, writing, and the law are favoured. You'll be able to command a fairly good salary for your talents, but you must be willing to put in long hours. These days, you can't take a good job for granted. Do everything in your power to make yourself indispensable to those who are important in your life.
