Zodiac and Tarot: What Does 'The Queen of Wands' Really Mean?

Have you ever drawn this card? On this lovely Tarot card, we see a Queen sitting happily on her throne, holding a sword pointing up towards the sky. Her expression is stern, composed, and all-seeing, as if she were a wise old sage, watching over us all. She wears a beautiful crown adorned with butterflies. The background is a beautiful mix of clear blue skies and dark, fluffy clouds. She seems so strong and independent! Today, let's have a little chat about the Queen of Wands Tarot card!

Core Queen of Wands Keywords: Clarity, Independence, Honesty, Insight, Boundaries, Strength, Experiential Wisdom, Justice.

Extended Queen of Wands Keywords: Widow, Divorcee, Critic, Judge, Sharp Mind, No Need for Sympathy.

Butterfly: Symbolizing her transformation and growth through adversity.

The Queen is seated upon her throne: Her expression is stern yet not cold, her gaze piercing, as if capable of seeing through all pretense. Her head is held slightly aloft, revealing her independence and dignity.

Clouds and angel heads on the throne: Symbolizing her wisdom transcending the mundane, embodying a lofty spiritual dimension. Yet the throne appears somewhat austere and rigid, hinting her life journey was not smooth sailing—perhaps marked by heartbreak (Three of Swords)—which forged her present clarity and fortitude.

Left hand extended in invitation: Indicating that while demanding, she is not unapproachable; she willingly shares her wisdom and lucid insights.

Her right hand holds a sword aloft: pointing straight toward the heavens, it symbolizes her direct connection to truth and clear thought. Her firm grip on the hilt represents her complete mastery over her mental power.

The sky behind her: partly clear, partly overcast, signifies her profound understanding of both sorrow and joy, yet she remains unclouded by either.

I really feel like the Queen of Wands is like a wise, mature lady who looks after the wind energy. She's as clear as a bell and always sees the truth. She is such a warm, intelligent, insightful, honest and independent person. She has been through a lot of emotional pain (and so she really understands it), but she has also found clarity through reason (swords). She's got strong boundaries, and she's not one to put up with foolishness or hypocrisy. She's a pretty fair judge, always giving honest feedback, even if it might be a bit harsh sometimes.

The upright Queen of Wands Tarot card is a beautiful symbol of abundance, joy, and financial prosperity. It represents profitable investments and happy times, so let's celebrate! Hey, I totally get it, you can totally tap into your inner wisdom and let your intuition do the talking. It's so lovely to see how their goals and actions are in sync, and they're both full of energy and enthusiasm. They're doing a great job! They can make decisions quickly and easily, and get on with making our plans and achieving our goals.

In love, this card suggests emotional honesty and direct communication. You or your partner may take the lead in defining boundaries and expectations. The connection is mature, transparent, and based on mutual respect.

However, be mindful not to dominate emotionally. True intimacy thrives when both partners feel heard and trusted.

Your leadership skills shine brightly, making you well-suited for pioneering new projects or advancing into management roles. Focus on teamwork rather than going it alone. Your rewards will match your efforts—stay tuned for good news about your success!

You're so good at spotting business opportunities, and you're not afraid to explore new ways to make money. When you're working on earning money, it's important to have a plan for it, save up smartly, and invest carefully. Just try not to spend too much!

If the Queen of Wands appears reversed in a Tarot reading, it may indicate deception and disloyalty, along with a tendency toward jealousy, sharp-tongued remarks, and sarcasm. It's totally normal to feel like you want to be in control of things sometimes, but it can lead to feeling a bit self-centered and even a bit more aggressive. This can sometimes make you feel like you're losing your temper for no reason. It's totally normal to feel less confident, less enthusiastic, and more self-doubtful sometimes. It's totally normal to feel like you're not independent anymore. It's so easy to start relying on other people.

Overbearing control tendencies may spark arguments due to suspicion, potentially leading to deception. Prioritize open communication to rebuild trust. Learn to loosen emotional constraints and restore confidence. 

Lack of self-confidence may trap you in professional challenges. Hasty decisions risk mistakes or strained workplace relationships. Slow down and embrace others' advice.

Impulsive spending or reckless investments may deplete your finances. Pause high-risk ventures and prioritize stabilizing cash flow.

Upright: Oh, yes! A resounding yes – especially when it comes to decisions about truth, boundaries, or taking the lead.

Reversed: NO (or Not Yet)

More clarity is needed, which is great because it means there's room for improvement! Emotional interference or a lack of confidence may be blocking the right outcome, but with the right mindset and approach, anything is possible!

The Queen of Wands teaches us that true strength stems from clarity, honesty, and self-respect. She reminds us: strength needs no fanfare, wisdom needs no validation.
