Queen of Wands

The Queen of Wands joins assurance, warmth and independence: she holds action with a living presence and supports what surrounds her.

What the card shows

She holds a flowering wand in one hand and a sunflower in the other, seated facing forward on a throne. A black cat sits at her feet, turned towards her.

Its light

Your confidence becomes contagious: ideas arrive because you welcome them without crushing them. The work moves lighter and each person dares to suggest.

Its shadow

Your authority slides towards a need for approval, and you lead while watching who approves. The warmth you show becomes a request addressed to others.

Notes on the symbolism

RWS. Queen of Wands. The flower held at face height and the animal on the ground speak of a living presence: few minor cards show one.
