A knight in armour and a tunic of salamanders rides a rearing chestnut horse across the desert, plumes like flames on his helmet and a staff in his fist. Pyramids stand behind him. He is fire on the move: daring, passionate, quick to charge, already halfway gone.

Upright
Go after it. The Knight of Wands brings bold action, adventure and a hunger to move. A plan launches at full speed, or a journey or a change of residence comes suddenly. Use this courage. You are being asked to act on your passion without waiting for permission, and to take just enough care to keep your seat on the horse.
Reversed
All charge and no direction. The Knight of Wands reversed is impulsive, hot-tempered and unreliable: he starts with a blaze and then vanishes. Plans are rushed and dropped, and frustration breaks out as anger. Rein in before you gallop. Ask whether this is passion or only restlessness.
In love
A passionate, exciting lover arrives like a storm. The attraction is fierce and the adventure is real. Whether he stays is another matter. If you are with someone, bring back heat and spontaneity. If you are alone, enjoy the chase without mistaking speed for commitment.
In work
You have energy, ambition and an appetite for risk. A new project, a business trip, a sudden change of job or city: move on the opportunity with confidence. Guard against impatience with details and with people, and finish one charge before you begin the next.
Yes or no?
Yes. Act boldly and quickly; the moment rewards a charge.
