The advice
Take up space in your own way — your presence persuades more than your argument.
A queen seated on a throne of lions holds a sunflower and a wand, a black cat at her feet. She looks straight ahead, at ease in herself, with nothing to prove.
Queen of Wands upright
This is the card of someone who inspires by being who they are. Warmth, courage, a sense of humor and a confidence that humiliates no one. It appears when you (or someone nearby) need to lead by example and by presence, without a manual and without asking permission.
In love
Natural seduction, emotional generosity, a relationship in which you can be whole. It can also point to someone magnetic and loyal.
In work and money
Charismatic leadership, a good time to put yourself out there, to sell, to present. People buy your energy.
In your inner life
Self-esteem in a good place, contact with your own desire, pleasure in existing. Look after this flame.
The shadow
A brilliance that dazzles those nearby. Notice whether there's room left for others in the room.
Queen of Wands reversed
The light is flickering. Insecurity hidden behind the image, comparisons that drain, jealousy of whoever seems to be doing better. The reversed Queen asks you to reconnect with your own worth before any outside contest.
In love
Jealousy, a need for constant approval, or a relationship in which you fade yourself so as not to bother.
In work and money
Fear of exposing yourself, a sense of being a fraud, or veiled competition with someone on the team.
In your inner life
Self-criticism high and energy low. You are demanding of yourself the brilliance of a day when you were rested.
The shadow
Seeking validation the way one seeks air. No amount of praise fills an inner hole.
