However, in a broader sense, this card can indicate that sudden changes are just around the corner and that this period may be the beginning or end of something significant.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT LESSON: We need strength and perseverance to achieve our life goals, but do we have the patience needed to see our goals come to fruition? We must avoid hasty, impulsive decisions and follow the dictates of our conscience when planning our actions.

(N. Drewry «Tarot. A Step-by-Step Guide to Studying»)

The Knight of Wands symbolizes the warmth and even heat of the soul, manifested in a thirst for life, passion and enthusiasm, but sometimes turning into impatience, increased excitability, impulsiveness and a tendency to exaggerate. Therefore, a lot depends on what area of ​​our life the question is related to, because the answer of the card can mean both warming heat and scorching heat. The impatience expressed by this card means: I want everything and, if possible, everything at once. If it doesn’t work out right away, or we don’t get everything, we get irritated, get worked up, become aggressive. However, the internal energy inherent in the Horseman of Wands in any case sets in motion entire layers of existence, melts perennial ice and brings a fresh stream into long-familiar situations.

WORK: We are consumed with impatience, our energies demand release, and it is very difficult for us to come to terms with the idea that nothing is given immediately, that we need to wait for some time. This may mean that the work itself, the task itself fascinates us very much, but we wanted to start it right away, and when we are forced to wait, our desire «burns out», and then even the slightest obstacle discourages us from working further. In some other situations, the Horseman of Wands can mean tough competition or a clash of interests within the team.

CONSCIOUSNESS: Here the Horseman of Wands means that we are in the phase of self-affirmation, defending our beliefs, fighting for ideals, not caring too much about their practical value — or hoping to entrust their implementation to others. On the other hand, the enthusiasm that we show in this case infects others, and they begin to help us, which, of course, stimulates the work of the entire team. However, in cases where decisions need to be made that affect the future of the team and all its members, excessive emotionality and haste can lead to mistakes.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: The flame of passionate love — or, conversely, a fierce confrontation. Both can easily lead to extremes. However, where these powerful energies can be united for the sake of some common cause, they bring magnificent results that you would never be able to achieve alone.
