The Meaning of The Card

King of Wands represents a warm-hearted person who opens their heart and home to others, loves to help, encourages, and inspires. This individual has a strong need to express themselves, sometimes without restraint. Just as they can be enthusiastic, they can also lose interest quickly and become indifferent. This person may be unaware of how their actions affect others or that they may be causing discomfort. They are characterized by egocentrism, loudness, extroversion, impatience, and a tendency not to notice anyone but themselves.

Representation of the Card in a Reading

In a Tarot reading, the deck is divided into three parts: the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana, which is further divided into cards ranging from Ace to Ten, and the sixteen Court Cards. Processes begin in the realm of spirit, represented by the Major Arcana. From there, they move towards manifestation in the physical world, represented by the Minor Arcana, where an understanding arises within a person, leading to the question of whether this understanding will be realized. The answer of whether it will or won’t happen is provided by the Minor Arcana. When the Court Cards appear, they bring a message of opportunity. The Knight, Queen, and King represent the zodiac signs, while the Knights symbolize a significant event that will mature the individual and allow them to transform the event into an Ace, signifying a new beginning.

The message of the King represents masculine energy. In nature, males are often passive; for example, the lion doesn’t act until there is a threat to the pride, and only then does he rise to defend. The King awakens in situations of tension, whether internal or external. His typical behavior is impulsive, self-centered, and he tends to start things but not finish them, which disrupts continuity in the process of development. The opportunity presented is one of creating continuity in the process without selfishness.
