XII Knight of Wands

The Knight of Wands means renewed energies. A new and unexpected path may open up and the card suggests that you may want to head into it. This card brings impulsiveness and courage to brave the unknown. It indicates that you may not yet have a clue about what you will find, but that you are willing to bet any money on it.

The knight is in constant motion and is fast, so he does not let opportunities slip away. With so much willingness to risk, you are advised to be cautious, as some situations can be unpredictable, both on the positive and the negative side.

The Knight of Wands symbolizes the energy to pursue goals. In the card, we see a young man mounted on his horse. He is dressed as a knight and his robes have colors that refer to the element of fire. They are warm colors, of action and movement. He holds a wooden stick and fearlessly sets out on a mission, not stopping to reflect on what will happen, simply throwing himself headlong into the situation.
