The Queen of Wands in a Reversed Position
A reversal of a court card has an inverse meaning that corresponds with the court card it is attached to. The Queen of Wands reversal is seen as a woman who always gets her way and settles for little else than that. She uses intimidation tactics and other ploys to influence people’s decisions. She is very cliquey and catty when someone goes against her, and she is bossy. The reversed Queen of Wands can also be quite the know-it-all who can’t be argued with at all. She can twist one’s words and trick them into feeling like they’re wrong when the conversation began with them being right. She’s intimidating and has great social prowess: enough to have one ostracised for disagreeing with her. The reversed Queen of Wands is a very nice person when she’s nice, but her control over people is unbecoming and hurtful in many ways, making her someone who shouldn’t be toyed with. If there are court cards around her, these are the objects of her affection and focus.
The querent may find that they are embodying several of these behaviours themselves. The querent may find that they can get to be very manipulative when they aren’t getting what they want, and although this can work well for them, their partners and colleagues won’t be so enthused to work with them. There is a possibility that the querent is also very social and able to change the opinions of others without any difficulties. The Queen of Wands in a reversed position can show where one is becoming too mean-spirited and vengeful. The querent must beware these issues as they can become blockages to their goals. If these qualities are not found within the querent, they are urged to look at the people in their circle that have these types of personality traits. Although, it would be best not to cross them.
