Upright

Be fully yourself, and be seen. The Queen of Wands says your confidence is your power in this matter. You know what you want, and you have the energy and the charm to get it. Take the centre of the room. Encourage others, because your warmth makes them braver. Whoever in this story is bright and independent, stand with her, or be her.

Reversed

Her fire burns low, or it burns others. The Queen of Wands reversed shows confidence shaken, jealousy, a need to dominate, a temper that scorches. You are shrinking so as not to be seen, or demanding to be the only one seen. Tend your own flame. There is no need to dim anyone else's.

In love

You are attractive now because you are at home in yourself. This is warm, loyal, wholehearted love. In a relationship, bring your full vitality and keep your independence. If you are single, do not wait to be chosen. Make your interest known. Confidence is charming.

In work

You lead by lighting people up. Take charge of the project, speak up, and let your enthusiasm show. You handle many tasks at once with energy to spare, and people look to you. Trust your own judgement, and do not shrink from being visible.

Yes or no?

Yes. Go forward with confidence; your own fire carries this.
