Queen of Wands

Titles: The Queen of the Thrones of Flame; Queen of the Salamanders
Element: Water of Fire
Astrology: 20° Pisces - 20° Aries (♓ ♈ ♈ = 10 of Cups, 2 of Wands, 3 of Wands)
Time: 11 March - 10 April

Symbols/Colours:

her crown is topped with the winged globe and rayed with flame;
her long red golden hair flows down upon her armour of scaled mail;
she is seated upon a throne of flame, ordered into geometrical light by her material power;
beneath the throne the surging flames are steady;
she bears a wand in her left hand; but it is topped with a cone suggestive of the mysteries of Bacchus;
she is attended by a couchant leopard upon whose head she lays her hand;
her face expresses the ecstasy of one whose mind is well in-drawn to the mystery borne beneath her bosom.

Personality:

the characteristics of the Queen are adaptability, persistent energy, calm authority which she knows how to use to enhance her attractiveness;
she is kindly and generous, but impatient of opposition;
she has immense capacity for friendship and for love, but always on her own initiative;
there is as much pride in this card as in the Knight, but it lacks the spontaneous nobility which excuses that error; it is not true pride, but self-complacent vanity and even snobbery;
the other side of her character is that she may have a tendency to brood, come to a wrong decision thereon, and react with great savagery;
she may be easily deceived; then she is likely to shew herself stupid, obstinate, tyrannical;
she may be quick to take offence, and harbour revenge without good cause;
she might turn and snap at her best friends without intelligible excuse; also, when she misses her bite, she breaks her jaw!
