I have lined up such a visual line. On the two Major Arcana, the uncle rushes away from himself, his beloved - the Magician, who has mastered the elements and tools, and the Magician, who voluntarily and recklessly checks - "what else can I do?" and at the same time demonstrating to the public the limitlessness of human possibilities. And then - click! - and he forgot that he is a Mage, that he himself is the creator of his own destiny, has lost that point of rest (or internal balance) which made it possible to control tools and get out of the water dry. And now there are 10 Wands - he screams like a hysterical young lady and beats against the glass, unable to calm down even for a minute, look around and understand that "the exit is the same as the entrance", the door has a handle and life, in general, flows on its own. in succession (I have such an association with people calmly and indifferently passing by). And the clothes on him are no longer magical, a stupid, and the public lost all interest in him (by the way, it seems to me that the man in the foreground of the Hanged Man and the man walking past the glass door of 10 Wands are very similar, just the same). And the possibility and the need to find that very point of rest is expressed in a girl dressed in the same clothes, calmly watching the unlucky magician - it seems to her that this is a game, and it really is. Having stopped hysteria, he will open the glass door, go out into the world, laugh at how he reveled in his own abilities, how he examined himself for strength, how he forgot himself, carried away by his own pride - and becomes the King of Wands, wisely and confidently using his abilities (in including magic - Stonehenge in the background) for the benefit of subjects.
I see, 10 of Wands somehow attracts attention :)
In my Juju, I already mentioned that as a card of the day, it simply guarantees problems with my computer - which spontaneously resolve the next day, and often lack of sleep.

The King of Wands is the masculine side of the element of fire, the strengths and abilities of which can be imagined by remembering the French King - the Sun - Louis 14. This is the personification of boundless faith in oneself, love for life and its joys: wealth, power, greatness. Moreover, these qualities are not selfish in the primitive sense of the word, this is not complacency or self-interest: such a person is generous and magnanimous with everyone around him. Thus, this card expresses the will, self-confidence, the desire not so much for material as for spiritual growth, for the full realization and disclosure of one's own personality. Only in some cases, when these qualities go to extremes, can they be expressed in narcissism, self-aggrandizement, vanity and boasting.

Work

Here, this card represents the ability to act decisively, confidently and convincingly, indicating energy and high motivation. She also points to organizational talent, the desire for leadership and sufficient qualifications for this. And, of course, for greater activity, dedication to their work and a constant willingness to take risks. The King of Wands is the driving force, the engine of the entire team. If his sense of reality is weakened, this, unfortunately, results in a hasty fuss, in a fruitless imitation of activity, about which the Bavarians say "all the steam goes into the scroll." The inability to calculate the time often turns out to be the weak point of the King of Wands: he takes the shortest possible time to implement his plans, which is why sometimes many of his good intentions remain only intentions.

Consciousness

This card signifies the maturation process associated with expanding our horizons in the process of seeking wisdom. Often this is expressed in strengthening willpower, moral principles and conviction in one's views. For the King of Wands, life is a field of activity in which we sow the seeds of our ideas and invest our will and strength so that they sprout and bear fruit. It often marks a period when our value system or religious beliefs develop to the extent that they begin to determine all of our behavior without losing that touch of subjectivity that helps us win the sympathy of others.

Personal relationships and love

This card expresses warmth, generosity and sincere passion. The King of Wands here is liveliness, the spirit of entrepreneurship, the desire to be generous, to bring joy to your partner, which makes the person himself happy. Thus, the card shows that we are basically proud of our partnerships - or are looking for a partner who would be a strong, worthy person.

inner meaning

When the King of Wands tarot card appears in a reading, it should evoke the image of a person of wealth and status, prosperous in finance and business. This is a man of humble origins who achieved success either through luck or through his own mind and determination. This is probably a person whose position and achievements the Questioner admires. And he deserves this admiration: his word is firm, and his advice can be trusted.

If the Questioner is a man, then the King of Wands of the Tarot can personify a rival, but generous and honest.
If the prediction is made for a woman, then the King of Wands is either a relative or a close friend of the family, but always a good adviser.
If the King of Wands tarot card does not represent a specific person, then it indicates a favorable or at least fair situation for the Questioner, as well as the most opportune time to take action related to business or finance.
Gender, age Male over 35

General meaning: The Knight of Wands is the masculine side of the element of fire, the strength and ability of which can be imagined, remembering the French "sun king" Louis XIV. This is the personification of boundless faith in oneself, love for life and its joys: wealth, power and greatness. In addition, the Knight indicates good news, excellent advice, an unexpected opportunity, or a heroic deed. The card also speaks of the courage to face life, determination.

The Knight of Wands represents the fiery part of Fire; it rules from the 21st degree of Scorpio to the 20th degree of Sagittarius. This is a warrior in full armor. His helmet is adorned with a black horse head. In his hand is a flaming torch; his cloak also flames; on the flame, he rides a black horse. This figure corresponds to such moral qualities as activity, generosity, ferocity, swiftness, pride, impulsiveness, speed and unpredictability. With improper energy supply, he is angry, cruel, ignorant and rude. In any case, he is ill-equipped to carry out his activity and cannot modify it according to circumstances. If the first attempt fails, he no longer has any resources. In the I Ching, the fiery part of Fire is represented by the 51st hexagram, Zhen162. Its meanings are fully consistent with the doctrine of the Tarot, but special emphasis is placed on the amazing, dangerous and revolutionary nature of the events associated with it. The querent is advised to be cautious, but calm, resolute and cheerful; be wary of untimely actions, but continue to move forward with confidence in your abilities. All correspondences from the I Ching should be studied directly from this book (Z.V.E., Volume XVI); we will refer to this text when important passages are too long to quote.

Aleister Crowley "The BOOK OF THOT"

Description of the lasso

The Zen master on this map uses the energy of fire. He is able to use it for creation, and not for destruction. He invites us to realize and participate with him in the understanding that belongs to those who have mastered the fire of passions, without suppressing them and not allowing them to be destructive and out of balance. He is so whole that there is no longer any difference between who he is on the inside and who he is on the outside. To everyone who comes to him, he offers this gift of understanding and unity, the gift of creative light that comes from the center of his being.

Direct position

The Fire King tells us that everything we do now, with the understanding that comes from maturity, will bring enrichment to our own lives and the lives of others. It's time to express yourself using all your skills, everything you've learned from life experience.

The meaning of the card

There are two types of creators in the world: the first works with objects - a poet, an artist, they work with objects, create objects. Another type of creator, the mystic, creates himself. He does not work with objects, he works with the subject, he works on himself, his being. And he is a real artist, a real poet, because he turns himself into a masterpiece. You carry the masterpiece hidden within you, but you stand in its way. Just move aside and the masterpiece will be revealed. Everyone is a masterpiece, because God never gives birth to anything less. Everyone carries a hidden masterpiece for many lives, not knowing who they are and trying on the surface to become someone else. Drop the idea of becoming someone else, because you are already a masterpiece, you cannot be improved upon. You just have to come to it, know it, realize it. God Himself created you, you cannot be improved upon. (Osho)

A king dressed in purple tones, standing in front of Stonehenge.

Characteristic: an active person with charisma and unsurpassed leadership qualities. He achieves all his goals thanks to the excellent work of intuition. Anticipates and anticipates the behavior of opponents, which allows you to bypass them on turns. He is very far-sighted and easily calculates the consequences of his steps, but his actions still lack analysis. The King of Wands is very smart, although he relies on his own instincts to a greater extent than on the work of the mind. Acts most often on a whim, intuitively, does not waste time thinking. Excellent intuition allows him to make a minimum of mistakes in making decisions, and a quick reaction, subject to the shortest time to think about the issue, allows him to have a reputation as an intelligent and gifted person. In his actions and decisions, the King of Wands prefers to rely not only on his own experience and knowledge, but also on the knowledge of other people and generations - these can be different sources of information, books, media, and so on. The main feature of this person is that he immediately sees the reason and motives for any issue, regardless of the turbidity of the situation.

Business: businessman\partner\employee making intuitively correct decisions in work. The business is afloat, has a good base and is quite stable. The businessman is very active, authoritative and far-sighted. Successful transactions and negotiations thanks to the professional intuition of a businessman. The ability to be in the right place at the right time.

Relationship: family traditions, a tendency to traditional relationships accepted in the family and in this group. Nothing extraordinary or radical. A man with good instincts and charisma, he not only knows how to keep his partner's attention, but also anticipates his desires.

Advice: use your intuition and draw on the knowledge of others. \ You need to see the root of the problem, look for the motives of people's behavior and the causes of the situation.

Warning: you have to take risks and rely on your instincts. You see only the core of the problem, but you cannot grasp the problem as a whole.

P. Makarov

A smart leader, a kind father of a family, a reliable partner. He knows how to assess his capabilities, calculate steps and therefore has achieved a lot. But often he is overwhelmed by the desire to achieve even more, because he is afraid that without striving for more, he will lose what he has, so as soon as he finishes the battle, he immediately starts a new one. The Salamander bites its own tail - this is the fire that devours the King of Wands. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Pride, ambition, long-awaited news, asset.

The total value in the layout

On this card are personal efforts leading to success. These can be promising business projects, career growth and the opportunity to achieve a lot in the professional field. The situation described by the King of Wands is generally favorable for the questioner. The spirit of this card is the flowering of social fulfillment, power and achievement. It can indicate a high position in society, earned respect, valuable connections, great opportunities, fame and glory. The appearance of good news regarding a business or financial enterprise.
The difference between Wands and Pentacles is that they certainly (!) require intense disclosure of all their personal potential. You will have to grow, strain, keep up, take risks, make decisions and take actions. Their sphere is personal success, and not purely financial as such. The victory by Wands is comparable to the victory of a climber who conquered a previously inaccessible mountain peak. You will never forget this victory. Now she is with you forever. This is what you did, could, managed, accomplished. In this sense, Wands are the highest suit. Money (Pentacles) can be wasted, love (Cups) can be lost, ideas (Swords) can be pierced, but the victory that we won on the Wands NOBODY, NOTHING and NEVER can take away from us. It remains forever in the very core of our spirit.
The main quality that this card carries is a conscious commitment to the goal, the desire to bring your ideals to life, to inspire others to do the same. The appearance of this card in the layout speaks of high motivation and willingness to go to great lengths to achieve your goals. She is in charge of heroic deeds, the conquest and defense of territories, a passionate attitude to business. In the area to which the question concerns, this Arcana describes the exceptional power of desire and the willingness to leave the comfort zone towards trials and victories.
The King of Wands is a leader with strong business acumen and a passionate soul. He personifies strength, vigor, complete self-confidence, determination and responsibility for one's actions. Thus, the map can communicate that this is exactly the approach that is required now. The King of Wands that appeared in the layout can speak of a proud and independent position on the issue, the desire to act, and self-confidence. His key ability is to fulfill his own desires and visions, to put plans into practice.
The King of Wands indicates that the event for which the layout is being made is quite possible, although it has not yet become a reality. You have to work hard to be successful, but the circumstances are generally favorable, and there is honesty in the situation - everything looks the way it is. Unexpected help in the enterprise is possible (from a relative, family friend, good adviser, patron). If help is not provided, then, in any case, no opposition is foreseen. The King of Wands is characterized by an honest and decent attitude towards others, with all his ambitions and bright charisma. He is conscious and direct. Sometimes this is the best news that his appearance brings - there is sincerity and constructiveness in the situation. From the King of Wands one can not expect pettiness and intrigue, meanness, tricks and deceptions - this is literally not his element (the developed element of fire does not tolerate such distortions). He accepts challenges without fear, goes straight to the point and knows how to convince.
In the traditional sense, the King of Wands appearing in a reading usually indicates that the situation of interest will largely depend on a person older than us in age, position, or simply life experience. As a rule, the King of Staves symbolizes a patron, that is, a person who is benevolent and ready to help sort out problems to the best of his ability. Whether he does this disinterestedly is another question (other cards in the spread can give a hint), but usually the King of Wands is noble and generous. The card symbolizes a person on whom a lot really depends, and who actively helps to realize ideas and talents. As bossy as he is, he tends to have very constructive and honest intentions. This is a great ally. His advice and help can be extremely helpful. The King of Wands is a gift of life, a person who helps us jump out of our old skin, opens up new horizons and moves forward. He is friendly and benevolent towards the questioner, ready to suggest the right decision, to help in a difficult situation.

Personal state

Leadership qualities, will, love of life and passion - these are the main qualities of the King of Wands. Courage, independence and responsibility are attached. This card is also associated with a firm position, dignity and strength.
The old interpreters are laconic, reporting that before us is a dark-haired, hot and noble gentleman in his prime, honest, respectable and, possibly, living in the countryside. In fact, one can talk endlessly about the King of Wands. This is a very courageous nature, capable of extraordinary deeds. This is more than just a "strong macho" - it's a Self-made man, a man who created himself. He is absolutely independent and lives with full internal responsibility for his decisive actions. He is not so naive as to think that he can completely control the flow of life. He recognizes the superiority and guiding will of Rock. At the same time, he insists on his ability to behave as consciously and responsibly as possible in this flow, whatever it may be. He's at sea, yes, but he's a captain. It doesn't matter to him where he comes from - much more important where he goes. He is extremely smart. An active politician, a successful entrepreneur, a born leader, manager and leader. He is content with his position and handles it easily. He is able to inspire others, inspiring them with colossal ideas. He is a brilliant strategist, but it is an inspired and imaginative strategy, not pure calculation ("I would have done that if I were Parmenion. But I am Alexander"). This is a strong natural magician, he has an excellent flair, intuition on the verge of a miracle, and is able to captivate many people and lead them along, literally in the stream of his libido. This is a person who has achieved a lot, who knows how to soberly assess his capabilities and knows exactly what one or another of his efforts will lead to. He is incredibly efficient and energetic. He is a real king of steadfastness and a firm position. People and circumstances bow before him. He has great strength, and his flame burns without any external support. He personifies one hundred percent loyalty to himself. Its exceptional feature is that it has no definite principle; it is will for will's sake, intention for intention's sake. He does not act out of militancy, and not out of greed, and is not subject to sentiment, and therefore it is very difficult to find his weak spot. The consequences can be both positive and negative. What he has achieved does not satisfy him, he wants more, because he is afraid that, not striving for more, he will lose what he has. When a battle ends in his life, he immediately starts a new one. This is also evidenced by the salamander biting its own tail, the image of which is engraved on the throne: it symbolizes the "fire" that consumes it. He is a master of continuous growth and inner development. It is he who is able to “put years of work and sweat, lose and silently move away, and again get up from the beginning to work, without wasting unnecessary words about the chosen path” - and again become a millionaire.
The King of Wands is equally ambitious and magnanimous, proud and generous, he equally deeply respects himself and others.
In the view of modern tarology, this is an adult man, a representative of the fire signs of the Zodiac (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), a boss, a patron who has a certain social status, which he achieved on his own.

The King of Wands on a deeper level

The deepest essence of the King of Wands is the claim to the place of the Creator. In the depths of his soul, he feels himself “in the image and likeness” to such an extent that this is not surprising. He carries and personifies a different, rebellious, new vision of the world - the world that exists usually does not suit him. The cosmic law is constantly changing itself through the initiative of its parts, so the King of Wands, according to Banzhaf and Akron, is the archetype of the "created creator" who is ready to take responsibility for achieving the highest goals for the transformation of life. The King of Wands embodies the primal fiery force that sweeps away any obstacles in its path. This force that inflames others is ready to give this world progress and new facets of what is achievable, to make the impossible possible.
This is the male side of the element of fire, the personification of boundless faith in oneself, love for life and its joys: wealth, power, greatness. Moreover, these qualities are not selfish in the primitive sense of the word, this is not complacency or self-interest: such a person is generous and magnanimous with everyone around him. This is a broad nature, capable of extraordinary deeds. His behavior has nothing to do with pettiness and limitations. He accepts challenges without fear and gets straight to the point. Thus, this card expresses the will, self-confidence, the desire not so much for material as for spiritual growth, for the full realization and disclosure of one's own personality. Only in some cases, when these qualities go to extremes, can they be expressed in narcissism, self-aggrandizement, vanity and boasting.
The king on the card is holding a flowering Wand. The protective net descending from under the crown symbolizes the lion's mane. The image of Leo makes this Arcana related to the Strength card and indicates strong instincts controlled by consciousness. Fire, represented by the suit of Wands, comes into contact with the element of Earth, to which all Kings correspond. The passion that prompts a person to desire something is combined here with the need to realize one's will and fulfill one's desire in the physical, material world. Wands are not carried away by intellectual analysis, they do not seek comfort, they do not particularly listen to subtle sensations in themselves (for Fire, these are too weak and vague impulses). Their element is direct action, the commission of an act. Wanted - done! The famous saying that it is better to do and regret than not to do and regret is completely in the spirit of the Wands (and it certainly seems undeniable to them, unlike the thoughtful Swords, for example). Wands value the Deed as such. The beauty of non-action and the maxim that he who knows how to walk leaves no traces does not evoke any intelligible response in their ardent soul. Determination, deed, risk - that's it, life! Who does not take risks does not drink champagne! The fact that those who take risks may drink not only champagne, but also medicines does not bother the ardent and courageous Wands, and especially the King who has learned to take risks.
This card can be a mediator between the "disconnected" and "productive" state in life precisely because of its specific strength and consciousness.
The image of the Wands varies markedly from deck to deck, sometimes even within one. Turned, finished, decorative Wands symbolize the success already achieved. Wooden sticks made of living wood, with leaves or flowers, are an image of ongoing growth that never stops. Heavy clubs with a thickening at the shock end are an image of instinct, the will to fight for success. Sometimes the image of the Wand is replaced by a burning torch. This is truly the "fiery aspect of fire", the element that has reached its maximum expression and stability. in a negative sense, the King of Wands can personify fire, burning, indomitable processes occurring at high temperatures.

professional situation

A great time to take some action to grow your business. Business luck. Reliable partnership. This card may describe some kind of ambitious and forward-looking business venture that will require great maturity, consistency, energy, and focus. Bringing it to success with "little blood" (that is, without showing the highest business qualities at all stages) will not work. The King of Wands may herald the need for hard work in the name of one's achievements.
This card also emphasizes issues of power, distribution of responsibility, and retention of leadership positions. It refers to running a business and managing other people.
The King of Wands is a master of his craft, he can indicate not so much a profession as a passionate attitude towards it. His original ideas always find supporters, and he is able to lead large projects, bringing a lot of energy to the cause and inspiring by his mere presence. This is a map of outstanding organizational skills. The flowering of managerial maturity (this quality is not formed immediately).
In addition to management, politics and show business (he is a master of dazzling with his charisma and knows how to stay on stage), professionally the King of Wands is related to any activity related to speed, fuel, overcoming resistance and high temperatures. This can be metallurgy and the production of motors for racing cars, aircraft and rocket building, sometimes ambitious architectural projects, as well as fire and rescue services.
The King of Wands can be engaged in producing and promoting others, that is, lighting stars and “launching into orbit” in a figurative sense.
Advice: take power into our own hands, show all our abilities and ambitions, show others what we stand for. Take risks and take control of the situation. Take active steps towards business success.
Card trap: stubbornness, pride and fanaticism. Scams born of passion and bringing misfortune.

Financial and housing situation

Financial success through enterprise and consistency. The card can also mean financial support, a patron, a reliable partner.
Traditionally, the Wands describe the class of people who achieved everything themselves, and did not receive it by inheritance, for example. Naturally, they are proud of their achievements and get the most out of their wide range of opportunities after they have worked hard for it. Therefore, in combination with other suitable Arcana (such as the Ace or Nine of Pentacles), the card can describe the acquisition of some kind of luxury item, flashy jewelry, an expensive car, or something else to brag about. The level of possibilities may be different, but the essence does not change - it is something "cool" and "pathos". And whether it will be tickets to the box of the Parisian Grand Opera for the premiere of the season or a block of cigarettes that are expensive by local standards, will determine the context of the questioner's situation.

Personal relationships

The King of Wands is perhaps the most passionate of the Tarot Kings. In his youth, he was a restless Knight of Wands, and now he is characterized by charisma, a tendency to speed up and dramatize events, make grand gestures, and behave in a vivid and memorable way. He likes to be in the spotlight, to receive recognition, to be noticed. Modesty and timidity are absolutely not his element, and in others, fire also beckons him. In love, he is as independent and brave as in everything else. He will not clench his jaw for years, keeping his feelings to himself or boringly manipulating step by step. This person opens his heart, and then he is ready to act, as they say, according to the situation. In general, he knows how to inspire affection for himself along with genuine respect, and the second turns out to be inexhaustible - the flame of passion can safely burn out, and that same respect remains unchanged until the end of days. This is the case when comrades and enemies, widows and mistresses, and children from three marriages surround the grave in solidarity, and everyone really commemorates with kindness and pays tribute from the bottom of their hearts, dreaming in the depths of their souls of making a film about him or, at worst, writing decent memoirs. The King of Wands is a gift on the path of life, he knows how to transform existence and give extremely much, not only and not so much in the form of material wealth, but in the form of what no one can ever take away from us. There is one limitation - it makes no sense to cling to this gift. It's like clinging to sunlight. Take as much as you can, and do not prevent it from shining to all who are also entitled to this gift. From the point of view of karma, giving the King of Wands entirely to someone alone is an unaffordable luxury. He should benefit many and for many become a ray of light in a dark kingdom.
This card can describe a sincere and mature relationship between two people who are deeply connected. They certainly haven't lost interest in each other, although much of that interest may be due to common hobbies. Traditionally, the King of Wands is a card of a strong and happy marriage.
Very often, the card means a direct and conscious person, a man with a very strong influence (he simply radiates it to others). He has iron health, excellent sports data, outstanding vitality, powerful energy. This is also an emphasized sexual man, temperamental, ardent, passionate, with hot blood, capable of winning the object of his love. At the same time, he is a reliable partner, generous, responsible and decisive. His intentions are usually honest and direct. Even in his youth, he embodies maturity, insight and foresight. This nature is able to resist and repel banal seductresses who will not be able to subjugate this strong and principled person at least to some extent (which sometimes leads them to despair and slowly deprives them of banality - then there is a chance). Inspired, he is able to create a whole strategy to achieve what he wants and win the object of his love. If the King of Wands fell in love, this means that he very consciously and responsibly understood the meaning of that other in his life, and will not back down. If this is an opponent, then it is honest and noble (but it is extremely difficult to beat him). The King of Wands is unyielding, he has his own ideas about what is good in general and what is good for him personally, and there is little room for compromise here.

Health status

Beautiful! This Arcana personifies great vitality, powerful energy, cheerfulness. An indicator of good reproductive ability.
As an indicator of illness, the card may indicate that the questioner has undermined his health by the habit of doing things without sparing any effort (“burned out at work”) or overestimated his stamina, wanting to impress someone. All Wands "love" fevers, temperatures and inflammations, and the King of Wands also loves heart attacks.

Reversed King of Wands

The direct King of Wands does something because he believes in it. The inverted King of Wands does it because he wants to prove something to someone, because ... he himself does not believe. Astrological equivalents: Saturn, Capricorn, Tenth House, "death of the empire."
This is a person with a pronounced “amazed” Tenth House, who is characterized by severity, dogmatism, stiffness in behavior - a person who pursues his ideas too persistently, regardless of people and the situation. He often acts out of sheer stubbornness, "stupidly following the principle" and losing face. Anger, arrogance, pride, recklessness, false ambition. Excessive authority, multiplied by indefatigable vanity. Abuse of authority and loss of leadership positions. Incorrect distribution of responsibility, ineffective action due to despotism and misuse of power.
The time has not yet come to take action. Must wait.
This card can also describe a stupid, demonstrative display of feelings, ridiculous demonstrations of superiority, pretensions to leadership, rooted in a deep lack of confidence in their own merits. Boasting and throwing dust in the eyes. Rudeness, selfishness. The Reversed King of Wands loses his temper when faced with resistance and rejection, he demands unquestioning obedience and does not make concessions. Nobility disappears, pressure remains.
In an inverted position, the card can also indicate unfavorable news regarding business or finances, the achievement of goals or career prospects.
