Knight Of Wands
Meaning
Knight of Wands is the mover of fire. Knights act; Wands are desire and drive. This is passion in motion.
It can show a person who comes fast with energy, or you needing to take a bold step: travel, launch, ask, start, push.
Shadow: the Knight can be unreliable. He loves excitement, not always responsibility. He can burn bridges or burn out.
Key: courage with a boundary. Act boldly, but keep commitment honest. Sustainable fire beats explosive fire.
