About the suit of Wands
Wands are the suit of fire: energy, ambition, creativity and action. Wands cards often come up around new projects, work you care about and the drive to make things happen. The four court cards of each suit (Page, Knight, Queen and King) can stand for people in your life, or for ways of handling a situation: the curious beginner, the person of action, the one who understands it from the inside, and the one in charge.
