The Scene and Its Symbols
A knight in salamander-emblazoned garb raises his wand from a rearing horse. The fastest and boldest of the four knights — the energy that leaps toward adventure first.
Reading by Number and Suit
Wands carry the element of fire — passion, will, action, and creative drive. They appear often in questions about work, goals, and challenges. A reading heavy with Wands suggests that the engine of the situation is desire and momentum.
The Knight is the suit's executor — the figure who drives this element's energy most dynamically, sometimes to excess. Motion and momentum are the theme.
