Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And I got this one card, the King of Wands reversed, and I was like, “What’s this all about?” Especially when I’m just trying to get a simple yes or no answer. So, I did a little experiment, and here’s how it went down.
Setup and Shuffle
First off, I got my tarot deck and just sat with it for a bit. Cleared my mind, focused on my question. I kept it simple: “Will I get that promotion at work?” Then I shuffled the cards, really concentrating on my question.
Pulled the Card
I spread the cards out and boom – I pulled the King of Wands, but it was upside down. Reversed. My heart kinda sank because I remembered reading somewhere that reversed cards can mean delays or obstacles. Not exactly what you want to see when you’re gunning for a promotion.

Initial Thoughts
- Confusion: Seeing the King of Wands reversed, I was a bit thrown off. I knew this card usually means leadership and passion, but upside down? I felt like it was telling me I wasn’t ready to step up or that my usual fire wasn’t going to cut it.
- Doubt: Started doubting myself a bit. Was I really ready for this promotion? Was I pushing too hard? I mean, this card was making me question everything.
Diving Deeper
But I didn’t stop there. I looked up what the King of Wands reversed could mean in a yes/no context. Some sources said it’s a “no,” others said it’s a “yes, but with challenges.” Great, even more confusion.
Reflection
I spent a few days thinking about it. I realized that maybe the card wasn’t just giving me a flat no. Maybe it was saying, “Yes, you can get that promotion, but you’ve got some things to work on.” Like, maybe I need to show more initiative, be more of a team player, or just step up my game in general.
Action Plan
So, I made a plan. I decided I would:
- Take Initiative: Start taking on more responsibilities at work, showing I could handle the bigger role.
- Seek Feedback: Talk to my boss, get some honest feedback on what I could improve.
- Stay Positive: Keep a positive attitude, even if things got tough. I mean, the King of Wands is about passion and energy, right? Even if it’s upside down.
Outcome
It’s been a few weeks now, and I’m still working on it. Haven’t gotten the promotion yet, but I feel like I’m making progress. I’m more focused, more involved, and I’m learning a lot. The King of Wands reversed was kind of a wake-up call, and I think it’s making me a better candidate in the long run.
So, that’s my story with the King of Wands reversed. It wasn’t the straightforward “yes” I was hoping for, but it turned out to be something more valuable – a push to grow and improve. And who knows, maybe that “no” will turn into a “yes” eventually. We’ll see!
