Queen of Wands description
One glance at the Queen of Cups and you see the vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds. She is the Queen of hearth and home. Her posture and her expression are noble and stately. She holds a wand in her right hand and a sunflower in her left. Her throne is embellished with lions, symbols of strength. Sometimes she is associated with the sign of Leo, complicated and unpredictable. Three ancient pyramids rise in the background, showing human mastery that has been established over time. Her gaze beholds something just off to the left, but the black cat in the foreground looks you right between the eyes. The cat represents her magic powers.
Upright meaning
This is a time to be optimistic about your goals and put all of your focus into accomplishing them. The wand in your hand represents an idea, a project, an initiative, and you are ready to drive it forward. You find it easy to cross things off of your to do list and feel great satisfaction for the progress you are making. Others are drawn to you. If this comes up in your spread when you are asking a romantic interest, this is a sign that they are interested in you. Express yourself freely and share your ideas.
Reversed meaning
Rather than expressing yourself fully, you may be feeling more withdrawn than usual. You’re been working tirelessly for so long, and more responsibility is heading your way. When you take on too much and you feel overwhelmed, be careful not to take it out on others. Break large tasks into bite sized pieces, and take breaks in between bites. Bring structure to your work, create lists, trackers, calendars, whatever you need to do to organize your time and make space for rest. As a matter of fact, schedule rest and fun right into your calendar. You’ll find you return to your work more productive when you take a time out.

“A good leader leads the people from above them. A great leader leads the people from within them.” M.D. Arnold
