Queen of Wands (Reversed) | Tarot Card
If the Queen of Wands appears reversed, she usually accompanies a lack of self-confidence.
Upright of reversed, the Queen of Wands is the guardian of where your self-esteem can be found. The Queen of Wands reversed can indicate a need to come out of hiding. Take a risk and allow others to see you. Like the black cat on the card you might not always be liked by everyone. Follow the black cat’s example and treat this fact with nonchalance. You don’t want people like that around you anyway! Stop hiding what makes you special.
The Queen of Wands is the actress of the tarot. She teaches that sometimes you must “fake it till you make it!” Take a chance on believing in yourself, and you will probably exceed your expectations. Even if you don’t feel one-hundred percent sure about your abilities, do the thing you are afraid to do anyway. You will rarely look back with regret when you approach life with courage, no matter the result. Give it your all, even if there are no guarantees.
