Divination cards leave no room for unambiguous interpretation. Much in fortune telling depends on the position, alignment, questions asked and the correct interpretation of the dropped combinations. “Queen of Wands” in the Tarot, whose inner meaning means the feminine principle and the fiery element, it is no coincidence that it has several names. Each of them reveals a new sacred meaning, the possibility of interpretation in a specific alignment of forces.

Sacred meaning

Despite the majesty of the image on the card, the "Queen of Wands" Tarot has ambiguous meaning and interpretation. Everything largely depends on the position, environment and even the personality on which the fortune-telling takes place.

Although the Lady, depicted on the lasso, is considered to be a controversial, somewhat unpleasant character, for an ambitious person, busy with career growth and self-improvement, this card in some cases is considered a favorable sign.

1. Wands are a suit that is characterized by vitality, pressure and perseverance, inspiration and energy.
2. The depicted woman, majestic and dressed in luxurious clothes, carries with her all the attributes of the supreme power (scepter, crown, ornamented throne). She personifies strength, independence, pride, freedom, the absence of any restrictions.
3. The cat depicted in front of the throne is also interpreted in different aspects. For example, as a symbol that a woman can subjugate anyone, and as an indication of the ability of the Lady of Wands to be objective, to see the picture as a whole, not to be distracted by life's trifles.
4. Much attention is paid to the flower in the hands of the Lady: it is a sunflower, a symbol of the Sun, wealth, prosperity and longevity. The fact that the flower looks at a woman, despite the fact that in real life it turns its head behind the daylight, means that the Lady of the Sceptres knows how to be in the center of attention, to accentuate those around her on her own person.

The “Queen of Wands” Tarot, whose meaning and interpretation in the images in different decks approximately coincides, is ambiguous for several reasons: the sunflower and the cat pay maximum attention to her. She is surrounded by the trappings of power. Behind her is the endless sky, but she turned away from this personification of freedom, voluntarily abandoned it.

The lady of staff is oblivious to her surroundings. She knows very well that she deserves respect and admiration. Her ambition and pride, like her freedom, were at one time exchanged for a high position. This means that the Queen will be supportive of those who sacrifice freedom in the name of achieving career heights and a lasting position in society. The fact that she is dressed in a mantle of a sunny color does not at all mean that she promises immediate wealth and the achievement of material well-being.

In the upright position, the appearance of the Queen of Wands means the beginning of any event predicted in earlier layouts. How successful it will be depends on the timely manifestation of control over itself and the environment by the object in the near future. It is about decisiveness, practicality, self-confidence, commercialism and even egocentrism.

Different positions and areas

"Majestic Queen", like any other tarot card, has different interpretations, and the position of the Arcana often changes the meaning that is given when considering the general meaning.

“The inverted lady of staffs” does not require the manifestation of ambitions and qualities, which are often negative in the human sense. She directly points to the need to change - to overcome limited views, arrogance, to learn how to help people in difficult situations. As in the upright position, it portends some kind of grandiose event, but it will take place under certain conditions for which a person needs to change.

When guessing for career success, it is always the achievement of the set goal, but in what way it determines the environment and the senior arcana that are in the alignment nearby:

• High Priestess means success through professionalism;
• "Moon" indicates female competitors;
• "Peace" - on the need for dignified behavior;
• "Hanged" means that the efforts made will be in vain;
• "Hermit" - a hint that there are a lot of people around who hold the opposite opinion about what is happening;
• "Emperor" - that both business and family relations will be successful.

If the “Queen of Wands” Tarot fell in divination for love or the strength of a relationship, the meaning and interpretation also changes depending on the direct and inverted position. Direct Lady indicates the complete equality of partners, gentleness and maturity of a relationship that will be long and stormy.

Selected nuances

“The Inverted Queen of Staves”, with all the abundance of epithets used by interpreters, is insincerity and a desire to subjugate a partner. If at the same time "Chariot" and "Power" fell out, the relationship is hopeless - as soon as complete submission comes, intolerance of shortcomings and a painful break will appear.

At the same time, "Moon" will still indicate the presence of a rival, "Devil" - a cruel lie from a person who is considered close, "Hierophant" - on his sincerity, and only "Lovers" - on mutual devotion and the success of existing relationships. In any case, there is a modification of the interpretation if there is another card of the same suit next to the “Queen of Staves”.

Almost all of them, except for "Knight", indicating the haste of a recent decision, mean a correction in a good direction. For example, “Page” promises great news, “Ace” promises prospects for self-expression, and only “Nine” and “Ten” speak about the need to obey or about upcoming short-term obstacles to a conceived project or new relationship.

If, during fortune-telling, it is necessary to make a certain decision. "Queen of Wands" implies a positive answer only on the condition that we are talking about a bright and dominant personality with whom a relationship is planned.

The “lady of staffs” that fell out during such fortune-telling is a resolute “yes” to new business projects, entrepreneurship start-ups or efforts made for a career. For people with the qualities inherent in the "Lady", her appearance in most cases means a green light in any direction.

Outcomes

Tarot cards are a complex system of magical images, the interpretation of which depends on their position, environment and topic of interest. The "Mistress of Sceptres" is no exception, she can favor independent and decisive people. Its interpretation depends on the upright or inverted position. The meaning of the alignment can be determined by the senior Arcana or a card of the same suit. Much can be explained by the direction of fortune-telling - to love, to a career or to a momentary decision.
