The King of Wands, Reversed
I feel resistant to reversed cards. I dread their apparent negativity.
I didn’t have much information to call up about this one right off the bat, beyond the fact that wands are fire. Desire and will. So... I looked it up.
This card reversed can indicate inauthenticity. Doing things that don’t feel true to you. It could be warning against recklessness or risky impulses. It may mean that you are holding yourself to grand, but unrealistic expectations that you are struggling to achieve, resulting in frustration with your lack of progress.
Looking at the card right side up, the King looks cocky and authoritative. Reversed, those same qualities could seem brash and egotistical.
Reflecting on my day, at the end of it, this card was accurate. I had to ask my mother for help paying my health insurance bill, which is very unlike me and which causes me an enormous amount of distress. I am fiercely independent. I feel like a failure. But is it reasonable to hold myself to expectations of financial security, given the current situation? No. It isn’t.
Maybe I need to take it easier on myself and learn to accept help when I need it.
