"Passion isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A knight on an adventure, armed with a short wand. Wands represent passion and knights represent quests. Together this card represents a quest/adventure to embark on. Typically the face cards represent a person/event (or a part of yourself embodied).
You are on a quest of some kind to follow your own passion/creative energy. You are acting quickly and decisively as if a knight on a horse running across the countryside. Perhaps you are traveling and meeting new and exciting people (or going back to school again). Romantically, a figure might be entering your life and bringing you inspiration and motivation. Things maybe moving quickly (a touch of love bombing), but sometimes that is just part of the journey.
Your plans are interrupted and perhaps you are being blocked in the pursuit of your goal (travel delays, self doubt over the goal, etc). Romantically/interpersonally you are fighting with someone important to you and it's making you doubt the relationship. Perhaps you wanted to buy a house together but now you are unsure if you even want to live in the same city. Doubt is normal, and so is fear. Listen to your inner voice to understand what to do.

Knight of Wands for Cancer in Money and Wealth
The Nurturer
Wands are the fire suit, so the Knight of Wands sits in Aries. Aries squares Cancer, so the card asks for the move Cancer is least fluent in: spend the energy on one thing today. The friction is the content, not an obstacle to it. Upright, this is the element at full speed with nothing slowing it down.
When reading about money through a Cancer lens, the Knight of Wands says that you feel like money is safety and security you must earn by being indispensable, spending on others proves you are not selfish, and your own comfort feels like taking from someone else. This has either made you spend on everyone but yourself and wonder where it went, or helped you understand that your security matters too. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Cancer blind spot in it is being seen as a burden, or as someone whose needs are too much.
In practice that can look like a risk with money, or earning from something you actually like. Whatever form it takes, it arrives fast and without brakes.
