The image and its meaning
The King of Wands sits on his throne adorned with lions and salamanders and gazes intently ahead.
He could rise from his throne, but his power lies in his discipline and patience. His protective animal is the fire salamander, which looks in the same direction at his feet. The green around his shoulders stands for growth and vitality.
The King of Wands asks us to be patient a little longer and thereby prove our power. Hasty action endangers the power of the king, who looks out over his realm from his seat of rule, sovereign and strong. Personal maturity and growth make us powerful and enable us to reach our goals responsibly.
