Knight of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card
The Knight of Wands symbolizes the urge for exploration and adventure.
He is the traveler of the tarot. He is pictured here visiting Egypt. He understands that by removing himself from the humdrum routines of day to day life, he can gain wider perspective of who he really is. A passionate, confident and adventurous spirit.
The Knight of Wands has long been associated with travel. Travel broadens the mind. It frees us from monotony and allows us to explore environments where people don’t know our personal history. By exploring new places, you are on a journey of discovering yourself. When you return from a trip, your mind looks at the life you left behind with renewed clarity. It’s called “leaving the bubble.”
Not everyone can take big trips to exotic locations, but you can still go to places that allow you to connect with new people. Once there, you will realize that you aren’t so different after all. By seeing yourself as others see you, you might find you are more interesting than you thought.

When is the last time you broke routines and explored the world outside your home or work?
Do you need a spontaneous vacation or a small get away to regain perspective? Do you go to the same old restaurants, and walk the same old streets every day in your community?

He acts! He urges you to get out of your routines and expose yourself to something new. The world is wide, open and waiting for you to experience it.
In his “Four Quartets,” T.S Eliot wrote: ” We shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. “
