Queen of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Substitute King

✦

Confidence • Warmth • Charisma

A confident and capable woman who can turn her hand to anything and excel. She commits herself entirely, offering unrivalled support but only to those things or people that matter most. You have the same qualities and attributes but should learn something about focussing them where they are truly needed or have maximum impact.

The woman represented by this card is highly creative, productive and warm. She is incredibly loyal to the causes, people and situations she involves herself with. She is also talented - she can turn her hand to a wide range of tasks and duties and she completes them all well and to the best of her ability. not only is she competent and able to create, she is a hard, diligent worker who will see things through to the bitter end. As such, she is immensely helpful to have around when things need to get done.

This card can appear when the Subject has committed to something important to them. It could be a vocation, business venture or career move. They will need to channel their energies and adopt a wide range of skills to bring the project together or to achieve what it is they desire. People around the Subject are very proud of them and, perhaps, surprised at what the Subject has already been able to achieve. With a set of skills, and the capabilities, of the Queen of Wands, the possibilities are limitless.

Love & Relationships

Confidence becomes deeply magnetic now. Someone carries warmth, charm and emotional self-assurance in a way that naturally draws others closer without needing to demand attention. Genuine attraction often grows strongest around people who already know their own worth.

◈

Material Life

Confidence creates stability in ways fear never can. Someone is learning how to trust their own abilities, presence and creative instincts without shrinking themselves to make others comfortable. Security deepens once self-belief stops depending entirely on outside approval.

Notes from the Artist

The Queen of Wands, as a person, is adaptable, creative and willing to learn. She will try her hand at anything and usually succeeds. As the wife of the often absent King she accepts the task of managing everything the King would manage, when he is absent, so, she is depicted as a substitute King with the same surroundings and the same look about her. She commits herself entirely to the task at hand (she willingly sits on the King's throne in his stead) and the King trusts her to do so loyally. She has passion and strength (depicted by the lion on the draped cloth of the throne). She is responsive to any call (she is ready to move with her wooden staff and her hand on the arm of the throne). She is confident (she is outward looking and holds her head up in the confidence she has in her abilities). This is someone you can emulate, or trust to help you with what needs to be done.
