The influence of the King of Wands is felt in business, particularly as it pertains to entrepreneurship. He can be found in roles such as advisor, consultant, or politician. The King of Wands responds to passion and ideas. Furthermore, he is motivated by achieving his own goals. If the querent hopes to influence him, seek his support on a project, or change his mind, she should point out how her plan or idea will help him achieve his own goals, incorporate his own passion, or use his own energy and/or resources in an exciting way. He does not respond as well to emotional pleas, excruciatingly reasoned arguments, or bottom lines. Spark his creative and energetic interest, though, and you will have his attention. However, his attention will be short-lived, so make the most of it.
The Universal Waite king looks as if he is trying very hard to stay seated, as if he'd rather jump up and do something, representing his preference for action and indicating a bent toward hasty decisions.
Core meaning:
One who has authority, makes decisions, or is a professional in the realm of will, inspiration, or passion.The Legacy king worships at an altar with fire on it.
