Let's go over the history and the appearance of this card.

The Appearance And History Of The King of Wands

The King of Wands is a tarot card that has been around for centuries.

Its origins are unknown, but it is believed to date back to the Renaissance era.

The card is traditionally associated with strength, power, and authority.

When you look at the King of Wands in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, you see a man sitting on a throne.

He holds a wand with blossoms on it, representing creativity and life.

If you look at the cape and upholstery on the throne, there are patterns of salamanders and lions, which represent strength, passion, and determination to keep pushing forward.

Let's now go over what it means to get the King of Wands in a reading.

What The King of Wands Means In A Reading

The King of Wands is the tarot card representing confidence, passion, and ambition.

When this card appears in a reading, it indicates that these qualities are coming to the fore and will be important in achieving success.

The king is also a symbol of leadership, so this may be a time when you are called upon to take charge and inspire others.

This positive card suggests progress and achievement, but it also warns against being too impulsive or reckless.

Use your head as well as your heart to achieve the best results.

This card often indicates a solid and authoritative figure who can take charge and get things done.

This person is usually successful and has a lot of confidence.

They may also be creative and have a lot of energy. The King of Wands can also indicate a situation where you need to take action and be assertive.

This card can also warn to beware of someone who may be manipulative or overly controlling.

Therefore, it can signify someone you know with this personality or someone who reminds you of the King of Wands in general.

It could be even an aspect of yourself.

You will see the significance of why this card is showing up based on the spread.

So when you think of someone in a leadership position in a private enterprise or finance, you can think of the King of Wands.

And here is the thing.

If you know of a male business owner who seems soft, quiet, and introverted, he is still associated with the King of Wands because he is a business owner.

He may be introverted and quiet, but the truth is, if you are going to be a business owner, you have to have the fire, determination, and will to go down that route.

You know that saying what seems is not often the case.

Therefore, don't assume only because someone appears quiet and timid that they are genuinely that way.

When you think about Risa Green's life, the only man who would match the King of Wands could be her father.

He is a business lawyer, and you have to have that type of fire within to have an occupation like that, even if you are not a business owner.

However, he was hardly home and likely enabled Risa's mother to treat her the way she did.

Therefore, he may have had a King of Wands personality business-wise, but otherwise, he did not.

He may have been legitimately working often as that career demands much attention.

However, if he were the true King of Wands, he would have stepped in and interfered with how the mother bullied Risa.

A true King of Wands type would not allow any kind of abuse to happen.

And this type of thing does happen often.

That is why I am hesitant to say a CEO is a true King of Wands if he is enabled by an abusive spouse and does not stand up for himself or his kids.

I also want to add that Risa would have never gone for the King of Wands type.

Ron, her husband, is a follower, not a leader, and he is not confident at all.

That is because someone with that personality would have scared her, and she also did not think she was good enough for that type.

And someone with very little or no self-esteem would choose someone to marry who is a follower like Ron if they want to get married.

So now, let's look at the King of Wands reversed.

The King of Wands Reversed

The King of Wands, in reverse, represents being ruthless and disrespectful with followers, as well as being impulsive and haste.

There are also high and unrealistic expectations.

You can definitely think of a narcissistic business owner or CEO or someone with a high-ranking career.

You can think of that CEO from hell who has unrealistic standards regarding their employees.

That is the CEO that pays almost minimum wage to workers who work extremely hard and for long hours.

That is the boss that everyone hates because of being so abusive.

And with bosses like that, they will struggle to find workers because their employees will keep leaving.

Still, they will also struggle to maintain a positive reputation because the ex-employees would have tarnished it.

Okay, now let's look and see how you can apply the King of Wands to your life.

How To Apply The King of Wands To Your Life

I have to say that the King of Wands is very similar to the Emperor.

The Emperor is all about order, discipline, and leadership.

It is one of the most masculine tarot cards.

It is up to you if you prefer the King of Wands over the Emperor or if that card resonates with you more.

But you can use this card to create some order and discipline in your life.

For example, if you want to stick to a healthier regimen, you can use this card for inspiration.

If you're going to exercise some self-control and self-discipline, this is an excellent card.

That is how you can use this card for inspiration if you prefer it over the Emperor.

This concludes the Wands suit, and the subsequent suit I will go over is the Swords suit, which is tied to the air element.

Next time, I will talk more about it as I start the next episode with the Ace of Swords.
