When the King of Wands represents a person in a tarot reading, it typically portrays someone who embodies the Fire-energy-like qualities of leadership, confidence, and charisma.
King of Wands as a Person (Upright)
-Leadership. The masculine counterpart to the Queen of Wands, this person is a leader and takes charge. Their leadership skills are natural.
-Influential. This person has the ability to take charge and lead others, without being bossy because they possess a warmth about them, which comes from their Fire energy.
King of Wands as a Person (Reversed)
When the King of Wands appears reversed as a person in a tarot reading, it suggests that this individual may be struggling to harness their natural leadership qualities effectively.
-Overly controlling. This person could be arrogant, manipulative and prone to dictating rather than inspiring, as opposed to the upright King of Wands.
-Insecure. Because the upright King of Wands is totally secure, the reverse position can indicate insecurity and lack of confidence in ones ability to lead.
-Abuse of power. This individual could be abusing their power for their own selfish endeavors or selfish gains.
