General King of Wands Reversed Meaning
Controlling and aggressive behavior can make for an oppressive experience with the King of Wands Reversed. There is an attitude of “my way or the highway,” and it can create distrust when people feel they haven’t been seen or listened to. Passion is fueled by fear instead of inspiration, and that can lead to jumpy and impulsive decision-making. The King of Wands Reversed warns you of taking people for granted in the pursuit of your goals. Manipulation and intimidation can be used to serve his agenda, with no intention of returning any favors. Expectations are set too high, and you are struggling to live up to these standards. Look at the big picture and see that maintaining relationships is also a part of your vision. Evaluate your goals and what is most important to you.
