Okay friends, today felt right to dive into the Princess of Wands. I pulled her this morning during my coffee ritual, wanting to really get her vibe for someone just starting out. Honestly, sometimes these Court cards can feel confusing, you know?
First things first, I just held the card. Didn’t try to analyze it straight away. Just looked at the picture. Bright colors, right? That fiery lion, the wand held kinda loose but also ready. And the princess herself looks… alert? Like she’s totally buzzing with energy. Felt kinda restless just looking at it!
Alright, step one for beginners: Describe what you see. Forget meanings from books for a second. I grabbed my journal and scribbled down:
- Sunshine yellow everywhere. Bright.
- Lion looks intense but maybe playful?
- Her clothes are flowing, like she might run off any second.
- Desert sands? Feels hot and active.
- Not sitting still! Lots of motion.
Next step: Ask yourself what feelings pop up. Sitting with it, I felt… impatient? Energetic? Like I suddenly wanted to go for a run or start a dozen new projects. Also maybe a bit scattered or unfocused. That raw spark. That’s what I jotted down. The feeling matters way more than memorizing book stuff early on.
Then, beginner connection time: Where’s this show up in my life right now? That was easy. I remembered that half-finished painting in the corner. And the pile of new ideas scribbled on sticky notes. And oh yeah, that impulsive urge yesterday to completely rearrange the living room furniture at 9 PM! Yeah, classic Princess of Wands energy – full of enthusiasm and drive, maybe needing a bit more follow-through.
Putting it together simply: For someone new to tarot, pulling the Princess of Wands? Don’t sweat it. Ask yourself:
- What feels super exciting right now?
- Where do you have tons of energy?
- Is there something new you’re itching to try?
- But also… are you maybe starting too much at once? Feeling a bit all over the place?
This card’s about that fiery spark of beginning. That initial explosion of passion for a new thing. Doesn’t have to be perfect, doesn’t need a plan. Just GO! Follow that feeling of inspiration. Jump in! Even if it feels messy. That’s the message I landed on. Honest truth, starting out, that’s more than enough.
