The Reversed King of Wands
The King of Wands reversed tarot card symbolizes all the positive qualities of this personality, but to the extremes. Instead of being a good leader with goals and dreams, the card symbolizes an aggressive leader with unrealistic goals and expectations. These qualities lead to bad leadership and poor decision-making.
- Love and Relationships
The reversed King of Wands is so absorbed in following their goals and aspirations that they fear committing to a partner. Their relationships may be marred with distrust and fear of the future. Your partner seems to have a problem communicating their plans for the future, and they also seem dishonest. All these feelings might be stemming from an earlier conflict that was never resolved.
To find peace, decide if this is the relationship you want going into the future. If you wish to continue with the relationship, talk to your partner about your fear.
If you are not in a relationship, you have a hard time getting someone who commits to you. Most of your relationships end with people ghosting you or saying they need to be alone for some time. Instead of trying to convince them to be with you, let your confidence and drive draw them to you.
- Career
You handle your workmates with arrogance and a dominating attitude. Your workers do not have their dues, and they feel disrespected. When you bring out your arrogance, you create a hostile working environment for your coworkers.
It would help if you let others help you with some of the tasks at work. You have good intentions, and you only want the best for your career, but there are several ways to achieve your goals without being selfish and arrogant. If you are in a position of leadership, be sure there is clear communication so that you do not come out as arrogant whenever you address them.
- Money
Like in your leadership goals, you have unrealistic money goals. On most days, you are hoping for a financial windfall that wipes out all your problems, but that is not going to happen any time soon. Earning money and meeting your goals will start when you are more proactive and use your skills to bring projects to life.
- Health
You recently made some changes in your health and wellness routine after receiving bad health advice from someone you trust. You need to slow down and observe how your body is responding to any changes you have made in your routine. There is a chance that the advice you received is not for your body, and you need to re-evaluate it before you go so far that you may never come back.
