King of Wandsfor Aries
"Visionary Leadership isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A king sits on a throne surveying his domain. Wands represent passion and the king card represents mastery and masculine energy. Typically the face cards represent a person/event (or a part of yourself embodied). Together this card means a a creative genius or visionary entrepreneur: they are passionate and quick to action as well as wise and demanding.
You have reached a level of success that allows you to guide others and execute on your passions/goals with authority (or are spending a lot of time with someone who has reached a high level of success/power). Romantically this can mean a more mature relationship built off of shared goals, or a bit of butting heads around things you are passionate about. This card signifies an entrepreneurial energy, you have started something important and are executing on it. Be honest and just with your power.
You have reached a high level of success/authority (or are interacting with someone that is high power). High power/authority has allowed for an entitled energy to bubble up. The demands being made are harsh and unreasonable and no one feels comfortable objecting. Perhaps this comes from a chip on the shoulder energy that got you to where you are, but is no longer serving you here. Investigate the roots of this overbearing energy and reign it into a healthy place.

King of Wands for Aries
The Initiator
Aries is a Fire cardinal sign ruled by Mars, whose natural subject is the self, the body, first impressions. Wands are the fire suit, so the King of Wands sits in Aries. That makes this Aries's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Aries already believes it is good at: spend the energy on one thing today. Aries is cardinal: it starts things, and this card is about finishing, so the pull will be to begin something new instead. Fire meeting its own element is amplification, which raises the sign's strengths and its usual failure by the same amount. Upright, this is the element used out in the world, at the cost of still feeling it.
