KNIGHT OF WANDS

FLAMBOYANT & SUDDEN IS

OUR SAGITTARIUS CHAP

Daring and enthusiastic, the Knight of Wands shows up to initiate action, plans, adventures, and important projects. A.E Waite says of the artwork he commissioned- "the motion of the horse is a key to the character of it's rider" Sudden, unexpected, and without warning, his energy and courage is boundless. He is Sagittarius but remember with court cards, he can also represent the other signs of his element (Aries & Leo) which is fire. Very proactive, very goal-oriented. The salamanders on his cloak remind us of his association with fire and his large red flowing feather in his cap is to call attention to his flamboyant nature. 

And also as is with court cards, he can represent a person around you, a situation or event you will experience, or a part of yourself that needs to come to the surface. It will almost certainly revolve around some action or project. When this shows up in a spread, I usually also point out to the quarent that the horse in this particular card is headed from East to West. It will almost always mean something to the current or impending situation. 

The card often shows up to predict an event that will happen quickly and unexpectedly. He can also represent an important person that will either be leaving your life or coming into it, usually the latter. And if he happens to be representing energy within yourself that you need to bring to the surface, then doing so should not be difficult. After all, we're talking about fire signs here!
