Pulled The Queen Of Wands In A Tarot Reading? Here's Everything You Need To Know

If you've been feeling authentic, aligned, and empowered lately, don't be surprised if you pull the Queen of Wands in your next tarot reading.

According to author, tarot reader, and founder of Witchy Wellness Leah Vanderveldt, the Queen of Wands is about "the magic you embody when you're aligned with your authenticity."

Despite depicting a woman, Vanderveldt notes this card doesn't necessarily have anything to do with gender, explaining that "the court cards (Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings) show up to remind you to tap into certain energies that you possess and let those energies guide you in the way you move through the world."

And in the case of Queens, they're about "embodying an appreciation and inner wisdom of the suit," she explains. The Queen of Wands, specifically, reminds us to embody the creativity, passion, motivation, confidence, and spiritual drive associated with the Wands suit.

Pulling the Queen of Wands in a love-themed tarot reading is a sign of a passionate relationship, Vanderveldt notes. "This is definitely the most outwardly sexual of the queens," she says, adding "but more than that, it's encouraging the querent to express their needs and desires (both emotional and physical) in a relationship."

To pull the Queen of Wands in reverse here signals those themes of confidence and passion may feel less accessible to you. Vanderveldt says this presents you with the opportunity to clear out "excess dramatics" and rather "focus on what puts a spark in a relationship for you."

Ask yourself where you could bring more warmth to yourself and your relationship. "It could just be that that spark isn't there," she notes, "but it could also be asking you to refocus on the spark."

In a career or financial reading, the Queen of Wands is a really positive card to pull, as it suggests a natural command of your talents and unique strengths, according to Vanderveldt. "There's a magnetism to the Queen that comes from the confidence and transformational qualities of the Wands," she explains.

Are you feeling disconnected from your inner flow and confidence? This could be why you pull the Queen of Wands in reverse, Vanderveldt notes. One way to interpret this pull is that you "don't feel as tapped into your flow and magnetism as you'd like to," she says.

If you asked your tarot deck about challenges that lie ahead for you and pulled the Queen of Wands (either upright or in reverse), Vandereldt says you're "being asked to come back to the things [you] love."

Again, take this pull as a sign to get clear on what brings you joy, and what lights you up. "Start to integrate those into your everyday. Make space for them and commit to them," Vanderveldt says.
