The Queen of Wands is like the Empress card in that it is a feminine sign of material fertility, ambition and success.  This Queen can literally be a light-haired woman crossing your path that brings good fiery energy to you and is your ally … fiery, as in Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.  Metaphorically, this card is a message of great accomplishments achieved in a short span of time at work or in your career/occupation.  If you are a young couple trying to conceive, the Queen of Wands is one of the most positive indications that you will succeed … so if you’re not prepared for that possibility, take precautions!  If you’re looking for love, then perhaps a light-haired woman will introduce you to that special someone today.  Even though this card indicates a large degree of material success, don’t be tempted to squander away your resources.  Moderate your spending so you don’t make an extravagant purchase you’ll regret later.  If you’re looking to add to your home surroundings, you’ll do best indulging your creativity with what you already have … like rearranging furniture.  Bottom line:  take your time to read the signs around you and reflect.  Talk to others to gather ideas on new directions before leaping to make huge life changes to maintain the balance.

Wands usually indicates changes related to your work, and sometimes it also applies to your relationships.  You are competing with others right now, so believe in yourself and continue to do your best … now, more than ever … and place faith and trust in knowing that you will end up in the right place for you.  Success only manifests if you try.  Don’t look-to those who cheat to get an inside advantage … such opportunists rarely stay ahead in the long run.  Remain honest and true to yourself, and you shall prevail.  Remember a few weeks back we considered several ways of engaging obstacles in our path?  Today is a day to consider ways of getting around those rocks in your river.  Take the time to rest.  Center your focus on what will be your next steps and allow that inner voice to be your guide.  You don’t want to take the approach of a chicken without a head!

You are undergoing major changes now, so the best tack is to roll with it all.  As we said yesterday, change is inevitable; struggle is an option (like trying to row upstream without a paddle).  People you’ve relied upon have changed position and might not be as reliable to you as you once thought.  This isn’t a problem, unless you make it your problem.  You can ride this phase of your journey out just fine if you can remember that your best resources are already within you.  People are contentious and you might be angered and tempted to escalate the situation.  You’ve now been given a heads-up at the road ahead, so take this sign as an opportunity for thinking things through and planning ahead.  Don’t be emotional and make assumptions; find out for sure what’s really afoot.  Your nerves may be frayed, so be careful with yourself … and let this perspective be what defines your positive attitude.  On all fronts in your life at this moment, this is the best way to avert crisis — with well-thought out damage control.

You navigated through yesterday’s challenges better than expected … well done!  On the career and work front, your diligence is paying off.  In fact, in all other aspects of your life today, people are noticing the quality in what you do … so whatever it is that you’re doing, it’s working for you so keep on keepin’ on!  Your work is appreciated and generally well regarded.  If you’re job-hunting, better prospects may surface today.  On the dating front, mutual acquaintances at work or through friends will introduce you to someone to whom you will be attracted because s/he possesses qualities/characteristics that you’ve been seeking in a partner.  If you’re in a relationship, know that yesterday’s reserve now reveals a renewed attraction to one another today.  Fair remuneration on the finances front is on the horizon and your ship feels like it’s about to come in, so to speak … hooray!  And, because you’ve been watchful about your health, your diligence pays off in you now feeling better in the body.  Spiritually, the call to seek more esoteric knowledge resounds strongly … you don’t have to join a group or organization to expand your horizons, unless it piques your fancy.  Trust that your independent researching capabilities will uncover more answers to further your spiritual understanding.

Yesterday’s revelations uncover mixed feelings about life in general and some people in particular.  The number 5 indicates conflict, both within and outside you, and that makes YOU your own worst enemy today.  So, mind your tongue … even though you ought to not ignore what you’ve uncovered, you also don’t want to alienate the very things you’ve wanted the most, such as close, intimate relationships with certain friends and lover.  Really think twice before opening your mouth and letting someone have it, even though s/he might deserve it.  Pick your battles.  Someone you care about might be going away for a while and, even though you don’t want to see him/her leaving, know that s/he is coming back to you.  Watch yourself at work and don’t be too opinionated, even if there is some unfairness going on.  How you speak your mind is as important as what you say … so make sure your behavior is impeccable.  You might find that your new love interest isn’t working out as you initially thought it might … don’t shoot from the hip, and think hard about what are deal-breakers for you.  If you’re already in a relationship, you might be feeling in the mood for a fight.  Again, hold your tongue.  Yesterday’s gambling spree might have gotten you into trouble, so be conservative today.  If you find you need help, put your pride aside and ask for it because there is always someone around that can definitely assist you through this situation.  Overall, be gentle with yourself … if you’re angry, find a way to blow off the steam in a way that won’t take any heads.  Drop worrying and guilt; these emotions never serve you.  Opt for ways to relax and “let it go to bring back the flow.”

The Magician is a powerful sign of The Fool’s higher aspects of his/her journey as a reminder that all is within your grasp, if only you set your mind to it and try.  Have you noticed a lot of synchronicities occurring around you now?  Kā mea nāna ī hana … you create all that your heart looks-to.  At work, new opportunities for better work opportunities are on the rise in the form of a new position.  Your creativity and suggestions are being met with excellent comprehension and this vibe leads to bigger and better work opportunities.  New love interests are also surfacing so get out there and meet people.  If you’re in a long-term relationship, you and your partner are bonding more closely on a deeper, spiritual level.  Money is on an upswing and this trend coincides with what is happening at work.  Even if things don’t feel like they’re opening up at work, there are now opportunities to do side jobs that bring in more income.  The Magician also signifies strength in the body, so if your health has taken a dip, know that you are snapping out of it soon … particularly if you’ve decided to pursue an alternative form of therapy.  And, speaking of alternatives, your research into more spiritual matters is paying off in revealing new levels of knowledge and understanding … a most satisfying time to enjoy this expansion of your spirit now.

All events and all people are connected, however, not everything that you’re dealing with is a direct result of your own actions or karma.  This includes having to deal with a situation not of your own making, so don’t take on the blame in those situations, either.  Balance is necessary in order to thrive.  The Justice card implies the need for law and order, fairness and clarity.  If you’e involved in a court matter, you have a good chance at a favorable outcome. At work, ensure that your work/life balance is where it needs to be.  Both sides of living need equal attention. If you’re questioning your long-term relationships, then the answer of “balance” means it’s time for more attention paid to what you need to feel fulfilled and happy … if your partner is unwilling to compromise or contribute more of his/her fair share to work things out, then perhaps the relationship has effectively ended.  If you’re just getting into a relationship, then the question of commitment is soon to be a topic for consideration.  As for your health, “moderation is not just for monks”, so be sensible about living in the moment and wield more self-control.  Today is a good day for games of chance and gaining a small windfall, so do a little gambling.  If you don’t gamble, then a windfall might be realized from unexpected sources.  Either way, spend that extra cash wisely.  Spiritually, can you be in the world, but not of the world?  Remain grounded by staying in the moment and work on clarifying your perspective on life to remain centered.
