"Confidence isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A queen sits on her throne, holding a sunflower with a black cat at her side. Wands represent passion and the queen card represents nurturing/matriarchy. Typically the face cards represent a person/event (or a part of yourself embodied). Together this card means a confident maternal figure who is helping you achieve your dreams/goals. She has achieved part of what you want to achieve and she can offer wisdom (and emotional support) to you.
You are protected by a force of passion and creativity. You are able to learn and grow under her wing and are coming to embody a true leader in your pursuits. If you are growing a business now is the time to train others and expand. If you are in a relationship perhaps consider working on a creative project together or building a house together. Your intuition is especially strong and you can sense what others need to be successful.
You are blocked by your lack of confidence, you have all the training and skills and passions to be a leader and to run your domain, but you are relying on the advice of others or not taking yourself as seriously as you should. See your anxieties as they come up and set them aside for you to address on a specific schedule.

Queen of Wands for Aries in Work and Career
The Initiator
Wands are the fire suit, so the Queen 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. Upright, this is the element held internally, by someone with nothing left to prove about it.
When reading about work through an Aries lens, the Queen of Wands says that you feel like work is the place you prove you are not wasting time, a problem to solve fast (or escape), and something that only matters if you can see the finish line tomorrow. This has either led to building something from nothing in record time or to leaving behind half-finished things because the sprint ended and the marathon scared you. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Aries blind spot in it is the feeling that nothing you do makes any difference, that you are not the center of the story.
In practice that can look like a new role or project. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
