Some might say that you’re juggling with too many tasks at once, but they’re underestimating your ability to get things done.

reversed

The Queen of Wands Reversed

The reversed Queen of Wands is a sign that your shadow self has taken over. Jealousy, insecurity, and selfishness are thwarting your progression in life.

Love and Relationships

You or your partner are feeling insecure and overlooked right now. One of you might be deeply involved in their career, which is causing the other to feel less important. A new friend or coworker may also be making one of you feel jealous and insecure. It’s important to address these issues out in the open — talk about your feelings before matters get worse.

If you’re single, the reversed Queen of Wands is a sign that you are suffering from low self-esteem. Now is not a good time to try and meet someone new. Focus on dealing with your insecurities before exposing your vulnerabilities to a new partner.

Career

You are under a lot of stress at work right now and may have bitten off more than you can chew. Make sure that you are not being overly controlling and allow yourself to delegate.

Remember that your self-worth is not defined through your work alone, and that there’s no shame in passing on some assignments or asking for help.

Money

You’ve been lusting over the lifestyles of others, which has caused you to spend beyond your means. Of course, buying more than you can afford doesn’t provide any kind of real happiness. Instead, you are feeling more stressed than ever.

Slapping together a budget or downloading a personal finance app won’t solve this — you need to tackle the root of the issue by challenging the lavish lifestyles that you admire so much. This will help you align your spending habits with your true personal values.

Health

The reversed Queen of Wands in a health reading can signify dwindling energy levels. Perhaps you feel ashamed about a health issue. If so, try seeking out the advice and companionship of people who are dealing with the same difficulties as you.
