✦ Knight of Wands Reversed ✦
Reversed, the Knight of Wands points to fire poorly handled. It can describe recklessness, acting on impulse without thought for consequences, or burnout from charging too hard for too long.

Sometimes it is frustration, drive blocked and turning into irritability. The card asks you to ground the fire. Boldness without direction is just chaos, and intensity without consistency burns out fast. Slow down enough to aim, finish what you charged into, and let the passion build rather than just flare.
