Upright Knight of Wands Tarot Love Meaning

Someone who is full of vitality and fearlessness may have just entered your love life with the Knight of Wands tarot love meaning. They are likely to be very impulsive, charming, and passionate. But their rash and volatile nature can make it difficult for them to settle down with one person. If this card doesn’t represent a person, it can instead point to a period in your love life that is exciting, but also erratic and adventurous. You may be more prone to taking risks at this time, which can pay off handsomely. Fear of rejection may not be a problem at this moment.

Career Meaning - Upright Knight of Wands

The knight of wands is an enthusiastic card. This energy is a perfect complement for those who are starting new ventures. You are likely passionate about the new project that you are facing at work. You might be eager to take on new responsibilities. If, however, you are not starting anything new, you might be a bit frustrated at this lack of progress. The knight of wands can be a bit of a double-edged sword in that way. If you have a burst of enthusiasm but fear it might be going to waste, try to seek out new opportunities yourself. It might be that you have been waiting for things to fall into your lap when really you should have been seeking them out. Utilize your energy to advance, even if it takes extra effort on your part.

This card can sometimes signal that a large amount of money might be coming to you soon. It can be an ideal time to spend some money on a trip.

Thus, travel, at this time, is not a waste of money. It is a smart, holistic choice. Do not give in to mindless spending. Use your money instead to expand your mind and take up new adventures. Investments in these types of projects will benefit you in the future whereas mindless spending will waste your good fortune.

Career Meaning - Reversed Knight of Wands

The reversed knight of wands can mean that you are directionless in your career. Unmoored,  you might be bouncing from job to job without considering what you want and how you need to get there. While unpredictability is common in many people’s careers, it is becoming problematic in yours. Routine might be intimidating or boring, but if you have a direction you want to go in, you will likely have to embrace these characteristics in your future work. This does not mean you need to settle down now, it just suggests that you start moving vertically in a direction instead of horizontally.

Finances Meaning - Reversed Knight of Wands

There is a tendency to get overconfident when we have money. This is a common urge, but if you find the knight of wands reversed here, you might be particularly susceptible to it right now. Even if you feel financially secure, now is not a good time to waste money or make large purchases. This principle is especially true in your investments. The reversed knight of wands can also signify a loss of some kind. In many instances, this will be unavoidable. Do not, however, facilitate this trend by participating in mindless spending or gambling. You are prone to lose more than you anticipated at the present moment. Thus, it is advisable to be particularly cautious right now.
