Knight of Wands tarot card

"Passion isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

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).

Upright
PassionAdventureImpulsivenessFearlessness

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.

Reversed

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 Sagittarius in Love and Relationships

The Seeker

Wands are the fire suit, so the Knight of Wands sits in Sagittarius. That makes this Sagittarius'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 Sagittarius already believes it is good at: spend the energy on one thing today. Upright, this is the element at full speed with nothing slowing it down.

When reading about relationships through a Sagittarius lens, the Knight of Wands says that you feel like your partner is the person who understands the vision, someone who will not ask you to stay smaller, and a test of whether you can commit to anything at all. This has either led you to find someone who grows alongside you or to have left good people because they wanted you to actually be there. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Sagittarius blind spot in it is the specific weight of a single commitment, the slowness of actually building something, the possibility that it might not be enough.

In practice that can look like chemistry arriving fast. Whatever form it takes, it arrives fast and without brakes.
