The Court Cards – Knights

As the elements represent, the wands are typically fiery in nature. Here we see a young man/person who is a go getter. He is a born leader. His will is absolute and he will have his way one way or the other.

He is focused and will stop at nothing to have his way. This can either represent the querent or the position he is in. Something is happening at lightening speed in the querent’s life and he has to match up to the intensity of the knight of wands.
