THE QUEEN OF WANDS

Esoteric Title: Queen of the Thrones of Flame
Elemental Attributions: Water (cold, wet) of Fire (hot, dry)

   Your ally is open and generous. Her dress suggests the brightness of the sun, her golden crown is sprouting flowers and leaves, and her scepter is a sunflower, revealing not only her love of light and beauty, but her ability to manifest them both. She herself embodies the Fire within nature that manifests as splendor and abundance. Of all the Queens, she reveals the greatest openness to the life-force. She is warm and passionate, though sometimes--because of the intensity of her energy--she can be dramatic and impulsive. She sits solidly on her throne, however, productively channeling the powers of light and harmony. Two lions, symbols of the element of Fire, stand rampant behind her, but she is also like the affectionate, self-contained and insouciant cat in the foreground, basking in the sunlight. She attracts, in an almost magical way, the joy that she radiates.

Reversed: lack of openness or joy; selfish, unsympathetic
