What does the Knight of Wands tarot card mean?

In the modern understanding of Tarot, Court Cards are generally seen as aspects of the querent's own character or of those around them, but the traditional meaning of the Knight of Wands does not refer to a personality at all. It is separation, departure, leaving, flight, desertion, absence ("someone on the run"), relocation, emigration, change of address. In spreads, it points to an absent person, a personality capable of changing the querent's situation, and to the fact that the events indicated by other cards have already begun.

What does the Knight of Wands reversed mean?

It is natural to assume that this card describes a state of turmoil and confusion, in which desires boil inside, having neither an outlet nor a point of application. Modern tarotology adds to this professional failure and problems at work (for example, the threat of dismissal).

What does the Knight of Wands mean in love?

Adventurism and enterprise in love. One wouldn't want to compare a person like the Knight of Wands to a match, although in some ways it would be very accurate. Rather, it is a bundle of dry straw, instantly catching fire and burning out just as quickly. Such is the fiery passion of this Arcana. The Knight of Wands is far too restless to be relied upon. Conquer on the spur of the moment? By all means! He grabs a partner like a child grabs a new toy, only to toss it into a corner a minute later. So to speak, he "loves passionately, leaves silently." He strives for new acquaintances, but is far more attached to freedom than to those with whom he has hot flings. Constancy and responsibility are not about him, although the romance can be thrilling and unpredictable. Under the Knight of Wands, a person takes the initiative, flirts with ease, turns heads, sets up dates... the main thing is that he later remembers where, when, and with whom. This is a conqueror going to storm a fortress that caught his eye without much hesitation. His bluntness, demanding nature, and pressure can stun a more shy partner into speechlessness (and the silence will be interpreted as a sign of consent). He needs "everything all at once" in love just as he does in everything else. The Knight of Wands is honest and noble enough, but you can see in his eyes that it is hard for him to hold back, and tact and patience cost him dearly.

What does the Knight of Wands mean for career?

In combination with other cards foretelling changes, the Knight of Wands can report a change in position and even field of activity.
