#tarotqabalahtraditionalelitarot2strikingly.com

The Rider-Waite-Smith- King of Wands, projects the image of a passive King who is siting upon a throne holding a leaf sprouting, thereby, fertile wand. The sprouting leaves, depict vital life/sex force that is attributed to Wands. The little salamander at his feet, the salamanders on his cape and the red gold color of his remnants, are the only implication of his rule over fire. The blue cloth around his neck and shoulders, is the color of the Blue Sophia, Greek Goddess of Wisdom. Wisdom being the name of Chokmah the second Sephiroth that rules over the Kings.

The Rider-Waite-Smith King of Wands is attributed the physical and emotional nature of dark, ardent, lithe, animated and impassioned noble. He connects with the symbol for Leo the Lion that exists as his thrones backing. The symbol of the Golden/yellow sun is also worn around his neck.

The Jungian Tarot-King of Wands, is shown facing the querent the yellows of the Sun are shown as golden jewelry and clothing border embroidery. Here, the Fiery Red of the Wands (Mars/Aries) is concentrated on as the main garment. Fire, the element he rules, is all around him. Therefore, he is shown as the aggressive father, a man of great force and independence, who says what he wants, when he wants and often without empathy for others. He has the utmost belief in his own abilities and is most pioneer like, masterful and self reliant. Although he is intuitive and dynamic, he always insists that he is in charge. This seems counterintuitive to his ability to be sympathetic person, who surprisingly believes he is misunderstood. Thereby, he lives in a creative world unknown to others.

The Tarot Personality birth chart is not mentioned nor shown in the instruction material of Rider-Waite-Smith nor Jungian Tarot. However, all court cards, are based on this chart of personality cores. Checking the birthdate of an individual on this chart will help you find the significator of the querent or of any person they have encountered. We all incarnate and reincarnate all 12 houses of the Zodiac, so these are merely attempts to signify the "Core" or the "seed" of one's persona.

The King of Wands can be a wonderful caring Father, as source of constant learning and adventure, of whom the child is very proud. However, he can be very difficult, tending to make irrational and impulsive demands of everyone around him. Therefore, he often tends to be embarrassingly eccentric, domineering, and very impatient. Some children feel put off by such a "drill sergeant" of a Father who sets very high standards. Reward or punishment manifests swiftly with such a father. Hence, the outgoing and creative qualities of such a Father, maybe be abrasive or exciting.

WHEN KING OF WANDS IS THROWN DURING A READING, it implies;

• A spiritual evolution is taking place at a deep core level. It is as if the past personality is fuel for a new phoenix- self arising from the flames
• Experiencing the conviction of Spirit with much inner and outward movement of energy; the manifestation of leadership skills.
• Positive male power, complete with the ability to focus on long term goals but with rapid movement that is able to handle complex situations.
• Strong minded and able to dominate others by force of will.
• A master of wit and charm, great sense of humor and warm generosity with a strong liking for fun. Can just about persuade anyone into anything.
• A mature male whose inner and outer being are in mutual agreement and balance.

If reversed, it implies:

• Very Impersonal force without the conscience of the personal.
• May be a highly empowered spiritual being. Which doesn't necessarily mean he has your best interest at heart. Spirit is Pure Mind, and doesn't see things in a personal way.
• Emotional coldness.
• Too much emphasis on mind.
• Dazzling ambiguity.
• Fickle.
