Free Daily Tarotscope -- Mar 22, 2014 -- King of Wands

King of Wands

Today you may need to step forward and take charge of a situation that needs a strong, confident and authoritative hand.

As with all of the court cards, this King can represent a person in your life, in this case someone who possesses strong leadership qualities and who has a larger-than-life presence that’s impossible to ignore.

He can also represent a state of mind — as in displaying an infectious confidence and enthusiasm that draws people to you and elevates you in their eyes. And he can represent an event — such as a promotion or recognition from your peers.

The King in this version of the card is hearty and robust. And larger than life — literally. This illustration comes from Athanasius Kircher’s depiction of a race of Giants in his Mundus Subterraneus. He stands naked — save for a some strategically placed leaves — in a circle of living flames. His “wand” is a tree that has been pared down to reveal two small flames. His aura emanates from his head in a rainbow halo that contains Kircher’s 72 names of God.

The King of Wands is dynamic and expansive. He embodies Fire sign qualities: warmth, charisma, passion, ardor. And Leo qualities in particular, according to this card. He does everything — and experiences everything — in a big way.

If this is someone in your life, know that he’s here to pull you out of your shell. He’s here to teach — and to show you through example — how to live life to the fullest and to embrace it with a passion.

He may be a friend, a lover, or an authority figure, or he may be someone entering for just a brief period of time. Whatever role he plays in your life, the message for you is the same: It’s time to stand up and take charge and show the rest of the world what you’re capable of.

The card used for today’s tarotscope — King of Wands — is part of the Tarot of the Holy Light series, designed by Christine Payne-Towler and Michael Dowers. Used by permission. This entire deck is so rich with esoteric symbolism that a single “daily draw” doesn’t even scratch the surface. It is also not a Rider-Waite or Golden Dawn based tarot: it’s what Christine refers to as “Continental Tarot” which she is very well versed in. Although this is not a beginner deck it’s so worth having for the serious student or collector. This deck is also now available for iPhone/iPad and Android devices.
