# QUEEN OF WANDS The Queen of Wands wears a yellow cloak. She is surrounded by sunflowers on her throne and crown and she holds one in her hand, symbolizing joy, warmth, and wisdom. She sits on a throne with lions at each side, reflecting the strength and power associated with the suit of wands. Her throne is seated directly between two differing landscapes, suggesting she’s able to oversee multiple areas at once. At her feet is a black cat, illustrating her shadow self, as well as her own innate magic. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Courage, strength, kindness, independence, confidence, ambition, multitasking, outgoing, generosity, business, leadership, fertility **역방향 (Reversed):** Overbearing, demanding, domineering, pessimistic, introverted, low self-confidence, lack of faith ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) The future is looking bright!

Remember that life is always ebbing and flowing—now is a high, so enjoy it! ### 역방향 (Reversed) Repressed feelings, or jealousy, may be causing tempers to boil over and create lasting burns on the relationship. If single, low self- confidence is messing with your head. **실천 사항 (Action):** Take a step back and allow tempers to cool. Communicate your needs and see if compromise can be reached. If you’re battling low self-confidence, energy work and affirmations may help you feel like your most badass self! ## FRIENDS & FAMILY ### 정방향 (Upright) The Queen of Wands brings positivity and fun to your relationships.
