Video Interpretation: King of Wands (↓)
Key Words: Impulsiveness, haste, ruthless, high expectations, mislead.
Key Feelings: The feeling when you recognize that you’ve been misled.
Description: Reversed, this card represents the darker side of leadership or the situation where someone leads through misrepresentation. Here, we find that motivation is driven by fear or intimidation, honor is replaced with plausible deniability and confidence is replaced with decree. The honor that should hold the union together is missing. In the position of the messenger, a person may enter your life that has legal authority to command you, but your heart will not be in the task. You will hold no loyalty to the person or respect their vision. Deep inside, you may see the situation as truly unfair.

Protect your resources and regroup.
