What does the Queen of Wands mean in the Tarot?
The Queen of Wands right side up, General Meaning: The Queen of Wands, like all members of the court of all the suits of the deck, is first and foremost a messenger with some suggestion or advice to give you.
But at the same time, it can speak directly about you, about your attitude and behavior, as well as it can refer to another person who may or may not be from your environment, known or unknown.
Whether the card talks about you or someone else, the message is the same and it will tell us that we are in front of a person of enormous fire energy, who is dominant and determined, who is not afraid of anything or anyone, and does not give in to the challenges that are presented to her, because she is someone who has an idea in mind, is carrying it out and will not stop until she has achieved it.
If the Queen of Wands speaks about you, it will tell us that you have the soul of a leader, that you are focused on your desires and never back down, no matter how difficult the circumstances are or how many obstacles are placed in your way.
Independence is a supreme value in you, you fight for it and for it, because nothing makes you happier than being independent in every sense, whether material or emotional, you like to take the reins of your own existence and abide by the consequences without blaming others for your successes or mistakes.
You have developed your life or are in the process of doing so, so that you are your own creation, with no limitations other than your own human limitations. You have an enormous creativity within you, but you do not only stay in the creation or in the idea, but you move everything to put it into practice, take it forward and see it fulfilled.
You know how to take care of yourself as well as of others, but you are personalist, but we cannot say that you are selfish, because that is not what is in you, but rather it is a selfishness without malice, innocent, that comes from your strong personalist sense.
You have learned, by dint of success and error, that few people are going to do anything for you, perhaps those closest to you, your family, but in most cases you have quickly realized that you are on your own, that it depends on you, that it is you against the world and that if you want to achieve something, you must roll up your sleeves. That’s a clear conviction that a lot of people don’t have, and it sets you apart enormously from the average person.
This could have turned you into a tough, hardened, sullen person, but on the contrary, this strength and security has given you an incredible kindness and although you have a powerful character, you carry with joy your dealings with others, you are kind, caring and owner of an immense talent that comes from your creativity, a creative genius that resides in the deepest depths of your soul.
Whether you know it or not, whether you feel it or not, this card tells you that you are a born leader, you meet all the conditions to be a leader and push your car to victory but also that of the rest who will follow you because of these conditions.
You have a tireless vitality, each problem seems to strengthen you more instead of defeating you and your energy and spirit is contagious, so you can weave relationships with mastery, lead them, get the best out of each one and inspire everyone.
Surely you are the one who runs things, who pulls the strings, who influences and makes the decisions, because you have great clarity but also enormous courage.
So, this is a great card for when you are going through a bad time, things are not going well or you are full of fear and doubt. Because this card is all about self-confidence and it comes to tell you that you can do it.
You need to be courageous and stick to your course of action, trust your dreams and ideas, be willing to make a full commitment and be bold all the time.
Naturally, you always know which is the best path, you sense it with a special “sixth sense” (which is represented by the black cat in the figure), and since optimism is what you have plenty of, all you have to do is keep going, because you usually know perfectly well which is the right course or direction to take.
You are not shy at all, you are outgoing, and you are passionate about being in the eye of the storm, being the center of attention. A Queen of clubs is a person you notice as soon as you walk into a room full of people, you stand out, you shine, and surely you have great ability to build relationships with everyone, create quick bonds, please everyone and amuse them, because your soul is jovial, fresh and cheerful.
Everyone can be quickly surprised by your kindness and warmth and will leave your side thinking that they have met a charming person.
Contacts, work networks and friendships, the activity in social networks of the modern world, are your terrain and in those waters you move perfectly, because deep inside you, you long for recognition, fame, popularity and it is possible that you work all the time to achieve that, to be known, to stand out and “be someone”, which you may achieve if you have not already done so, because your charisma is strong and magnetic, almost no one can escape your powerful personal force.
On a negative side, The Queen of Wands can indicate that you can be a bit stubborn and obstinate, especially when you go after a goal for a long time and don’t see results.
You are not invincible even if you think you are, so you lack a moment of acceptance and clarity where you can see how far it is convenient to pursue a goal and when it is convenient to give it up because it is no longer possible to move forward.
You are not used to “No” for an answer, so you can get a little stubborn and that can lead to mistakes that you will regret later. You must learn to know when to stop, because if these behaviors are maintained for a long time they can turn you into a hard person, with tyrannical attitudes, who feels above good and evil and easily transform you into someone who is always angry, shouting and mistreating others.
Of course you will forget your own offenses within five minutes, because you can be kicking and punching and minutes later hugging as if nothing had happened.
Keep in mind that people suffer and not everyone takes this changeable attitude well.
If the card talks about another person, the characteristics I have described are the same, surely he or she is by your side, is someone you know or may be someone who will appear in your life very soon.
It is a favorable and positive presence that will guide you, instill courage, bring out your own strength and push you forward. She is someone of great creativity with a charm that is hard to resist, with great personal energy and talent, so you will recognize her very easily when she comes into your life.
Generally speaking, we are talking about a woman, older, because this is a feminine card and emphasizes the enormous power of the feminine energy that is going to manifest in your life or is manifesting right now.
It is a card associated with fertility, therefore as a messenger, it can announce conception or a birth, either for yourself or for another woman in your close environment. If you are looking to become pregnant, to become a mother, this card is a very positive omen for it.
It is a positive force in your life, an important contribution you can count on, a true friend who will help you. You may not get to discover it completely, as it is indecipherable at a certain point, but it is a very valuable energy for you now and will help a major change in your life.
What does the Queen of Wands card mean in love?
In the realm of love. The Queen of Wands is a good omen. If you are in a relationship, it will be strengthened as each of you will do your best and move forward with attitude, optimism and a lot of confidence towards common goals. It may indicate a pregnancy, which will be very welcome and will help to strengthen the couple even more.
It may indicate the presence of a woman, but not as a competitor or signaling infidelity, but a beneficial presence that will be helpful to the couple, whether it is a friend or someone from the family, such as your mother or mother-in-law, an aunt, a sister or an older sister-in-law. It is someone to lean on and trust.
Only in the context of negative cards, which point to a third person, another woman in the middle of the couple, this card can represent infidelity. By itself it is not proof of it, only in context with a reading that is indicating that situation.
If you are lonely, the appearance of a woman is imminent in your life, either to bring love into your life, or to be a companion and a friendship of inestimable help and value to you.
It is very likely that love will appear in the work environment or where you perform your tasks or activities, it can be related to artistic media, film, television, theater, or cultural or creative activities. There you are more likely to find love than through casual encounters, outings or dates.
What does the Queen of Wands card mean at work?
As far as work is concerned. The Queen of Wands is where it is strongest and announces for you excellent moments of work and activity, with a lot of creativity, great responsibilities that you will not hesitate to bear, creative tasks, an important leadership to carry a plan or task forward.
The most important thing with this card is the possibility of having quick success, with an excellent relationship of greater achievement through less time or effort invested. You are going to make an effort, no doubt, but your effort will be so well applied, concentrated and optimized, that it will take you to the successful goal in a very short time.
Perhaps the presence of an older woman in the work equation is important, both to add her to your projects and to follow her in case she is in charge. She is a very strong boss with great leadership skills, very determined and with everything in her favor to succeed.
If you are out of work and looking for a job, it is also a very favorable card, since here the “birth” is understood as a metaphor of a new job that appears very soon for you and that you should not hesitate to take, it is a great opportunity.
Also in this case an older woman can be very important, so you should seek employment in those jobs commanded by older women, there are your best chances of getting it.
What does the Queen of Wands card mean for money and finances?
Regarding money and finances. The Queen of Wands has good forecasts for you, not so much because the money will flow in, perhaps on the contrary it will flow out in excess, but all spending will be very well oriented, especially if you invest it in your projects, your work or creative tasks.
There may be a tendency to overspend, especially in arrangements, decorations, renovations of your home, as this is a letter of transformative creativity, so if you are tight with money, keep an eye on spending, do not exceed more than you can spend.
As far as investments, enlarging your business, expanding, for now the money will only go out and it will be slow to see the result, but the spending is very well oriented and the results will be successful, so be patient and do not despair, because the positive results will come.
You will have a certain tendency to spend without thinking, to be free-wheeling, so you should try to moderate yourself and balance well the justification of your expenses.
What does the Queen of Wands card mean for your health?
As far as your health is concerned. The Queen of Wands tells you that it is and will be excellent. There is an enormous vitality in you, you are healthy, strong, optimal for all kinds of activities. You also have a great determination, so everything that is to improve your habits, exercise or diet, quit smoking, it is highly recommended to do it now.
Keep in mind the fertility that this card entails: If you are hoping to get pregnant, it is a great time now and you may be able to get pregnant. But if motherhood is not in your plans, then take the proper precautions because the queen is very strong in this sense of announcing the arrival of conception.
What does the Queen of Wands mean spiritually?
Regarding spirituality. You will suddenly be likely to be “hungry” spiritually speaking when the Queen of Wands appears. There is nothing wrong with that, but don’t get carried away thinking that all of a sudden you have found “the total answer” that you have been looking for all your life.
Take your time, read and reflect, talk to lots of people, before making big changes in your life. Your exploration is admirable but if you are in a time of going through big life changing decisions, evaluate calmly as haste leads to nothing, if you don’t take the whole picture into account it might not be so healthy.
It is possible the appearance of a very strong woman spiritually to help you in the process, to be a kind of guide or mentor, a spiritual advisor in these moments you are going through and her help will be valuable, but do not fall into false idolatry.
What does the Queen of Wands card upside down or reversed mean?
Queen of Wands reversed, general meaning. The Queen of Wands, like all the members of the court of all the suits of the deck, is first of all a messenger with some suggestion or advice to give you, but at the same time, she can speak directly about you, your attitude and behaviors, as well as about another person who may or may not be from your environment, known or unknown.
When inverted, this card is usually the bearer of bad news, which can be very bad depending on the context of the other cards, to a simple bad news without greater gravity or consequence, but it is always negative.
Whether it speaks of you or someone else, The Queen of Wands portrays someone who is behaving in a very bad way, with truly despotic attitudes, with great selfishness, with a vehemence that reaches arrogance and a strong manipulation of others or circumstances.
Anger and bad mood take possession of you because things do not go as you want or as you have planned, which creates a serious resentment and a strong current of jealousy and envy.
It may not all be your responsibility, part of the problem is because you may be being bullied or attacked in some way by someone or by the environment. However, perception is now distorted and all the air around you seems to be full of lies and untruths.
You have placed yourself in a position of great strength, but this strength is negative, and has made you controlling and possessive, with a very short-sighted and mean-spiritedness that ranges from the emotional to the material.
It is possible, with this negative reversed card, that all your strength and extraverted way of being has completely changed and you are behaving in a shy, timid way, you seem to have lost all your confidence and self-esteem and it is affecting you to be away from that central role you used to occupy.
This can be at any level, whether at work, in your love life or your personal life, where you liked to be in the “showcase”, in the limelight, but now you have been removed from that place probably because you have taken the wrong steps.
Likewise, it is likely that you are in a bad moment where your good name, your brand, your reputation, has fallen into disgrace because of one or more incidents or situations, which brings you great concern and a very annoying feeling of embarrassment.
This loss of reputation has to do with a disloyal move, with a betrayal or failure, perhaps, as this reversed card usually indicates very clearly infidelity. This infidelity can be on your part in the couple, but also at the level of friendships or work, where you have betrayed the trust placed in you or have made a disloyal move that has now placed you in an unfortunate place.
All this has a solution, even if you live it as the end of the world. Everything can be straightened out, but it is essential that you first recover your values, your confidence in yourself and in others. You must leave the black circle of negative thoughts, full of anger and revenge that consume you now.
If the card speaks of another person, who you may or may not know, be close to you or not, it will speak of a woman, usually older, with the same characteristics that we have just applied to you.
She is undoubtedly a very negative person who is complicating your life at any level: she can be a presence in your home bringing all kinds of conflicts, an authoritarian and manipulative boss or co-worker who only seeks her own benefit, or perhaps a woman in the middle of your relationship, as it is a card strongly indicative of infidelity.
However, you should keep in mind that the card alone does not indicate infidelity, the remaining cards in the reading should support that.
Anyway, nothing good seems to come from this woman, only conflicts, envy and problems, and perhaps she drags you into this loss of reputation we have seen, so it is best to stay as far away from her as possible.
But there is also a positive side to this card, and that is that there may be a woman in trouble, representing all of this that the card marks, and you may actually be the right person to help her. She is in a bad moment and you, with the energy and strength that is in you, are perhaps the best solution and the best help for her at this moment.
What does the Queen of Wands card reversed mean in love?
In the realm of love. As we saw, the Queen of Wands can signal infidelities and bad times in love life. The relationship is now full of anger, the arguments go from trivial to big issues and it is possible that one of the two is acting with a lot of manipulation, excessive jealousy and being very controlling of the other.
It is not a card that announces the end of a relationship, but one of the two has lost the trust of the other and it will be difficult to regain it. If there is true love, everything can be solved with time, but for the moment it is not the time to make big decisions, neither to leave nor to ask your partner to leave.
You must stop the aggression mainly and find a way to dialogue, and this can only be done calmly, so if you are not calm, you have to wait for a more favorable time.
You cannot solve things at the moment, but what you can do, is not to make things worse.
If you are lonely and looking for love, a woman will be influential in the scene. If you are a man, a woman appears in your life but you must be careful, she is not what she seems to be and there are possibilities of deception or that she will lead you to ruin, either financially or emotionally.
Love will take time to come into your life with this card, it is likely that you will have several disappointments before finding true, committed and real love.
What does the Queen of Wands card reversed mean at work?
In the field of work. The Queen of Wands foretells various complications, delays of all kinds, delays and waiting. No one seems to understand each other and anger and impatience gain ground. A colleague or boss, perhaps a rival in the same place as you, acts ruthlessly, without any consideration, taking water for his mill and acting only for his benefit.
It is not a good time to change jobs or to expect transfers, changes of position, promotions or increased responsibilities.
There may be a betrayal in the workplace, a “mole” taking information to the competition or someone, most likely a woman, sabotaging your plans and projects.
All of this is purely not your responsibility, unless you are the one playing dirty or betraying the trust placed in you.
If not, it is an external energy that is present in the place and the best thing to do is to do your job, not get into arguments and wait for the climate to change, because it invariably will, sooner or later.
If you are looking for a job, getting one will take time. Offers are likely to appear that seem like one thing, but turn out to be something else. An older woman may be standing in your way, so avoid applying for jobs that depend on a woman, at least for now.
What does the Queen of Wands card reversed mean in money and finances?
In money matters. The Queen of Wands tells us that you have a surprising contradictory behavior: you are spending without restraint, without looking, without thinking, but this you do for you and only for you, because in this hard time you are going through you have put yourself with the idea that “money buys happiness” and you are covering with material things, the shortcomings you have in your life at all levels.
But on the other hand, you are greedy and stingy, you don’t help anyone and you don’t give a penny to anyone, even if they need it.
It is not a tragic card for money, it does not announce ruin or bankruptcy, but it warns you of excessive spending and tells you that all business, your plans and investments will be hindered and everything will be slow, there will be much more delay than you could calculate.
Do not take risks with investments, it is not the time to expand or extend your business and beware of any woman who pretends to get your money or your financial support.
What does the Queen of Wands card reversed mean in health?
In health matters. The Queen of Wands signals that you should calm down. The anger, rage, impotence that you feel now can only have negative repercussions on your health. It is not the time to start diets or treatments, especially if they are in charge of an older woman.
As it is a letter related to fertility, it may indicate problems in conceiving or during pregnancy, to make the appropriate controls and treatments and take the necessary care.
In its more negative side it can indicate the loss of a pregnancy, the impossibility of getting pregnant or an unwanted pregnancy, so if you are not looking to become a mother at this time, take all the precautions you can to avoid surprises.
What does the Queen of Wands card reversed mean spiritually?
In your spirituality. The Queen of Wands may indicate that you are weak in your spirit as a result of all that you have been going through, and the card also signals that a convincing and perhaps domineering older woman may try to convince you that she has all or many of the answers when it comes to spirituality.
You may have to set boundaries with her several times, in order not to be drawn into something that works well for her, but has no benefit for you. She may be angry or hurt as a result, but remember that no one has the right to tell you how to live your spiritual life.
It is important to think and experiment for yourself, don’t be influenced.
You must seek to soothe your disturbed inner self. Try to rest, to meditate, to join groups that can help you to get out of the bad moment you are living spiritually.
