Queen of Wands

The Queen of Wands symbolizes the unapologetic expression of feminine energy – fiery, confident, charismatic, and unconcerned by external perceptions. She channels leadership through creation and nurturing support, inspiring others with her vibrance, independence, and unconventional, self-assured ways. Seeing her Upright is a charge to step into your most authentic self. Creative opportunities will blossom. Like her, you must tread them with self-belief, boldness, laser focus, and passion. In some cases, it may signal the arrival of an influential woman who will lend you career guidance. Whatever the case, it’s an invitation to welcome your inner wild woman – and embolden her moving forward.

Reversed, we see the positive aspects of the Queen of Wands going to the opposite end. Instead of being confident and self-reliant, you may be passive, insecure, or doubtful of your abilities. Rather than expressing authenticity, you may be suppressing who you truly are, fearing criticism, societal disapproval, misperceptions, or judgment. Like the upright card, a reversal is a call to action to embrace courage, confidence, individuality, and a zest for life. It stresses the importance of boundary setting and self-assertion, even if it means defying the norm. Self-empowerment is essential to progress – something that can be attained when we allow our truest self to shine.
