Prince of Wands
(Prince of the chariot of fire)
Astrology: 21° Cancer to 20° Leo
Element and world: The Air in the
Fires of Atziluth
Tree of Life: Tiphareth
The Prince of Wands represents the Air within the
Fire, intellect
and storm within the spiritual flaming. As the son of the Queen, he bears a certain
heritage of the waters inside of him, expressing in romantical beliefs and a most
generous nature.
Though, the attributes of fire are excessively strong, combined with the flying airs
the first impression is that of a hot storm, filled with action and wilful,
impulsive energies. Lacking the patience of the earth, the Prince of Wands wants it
all and he wants it now, refusements or delays might provoke explosive outbursts. He
has endless courage and tenacity, he can fight far superior forces until he has won.
With the airs whirled up by the hot breath of fire, he can be a juggler and
trickster, wanton and frolic, recklessly abusing the powers of his mind to fool and
ridicule the slow and harmless. He doesn't mean bad but usually storms forward too
fast to recognize the ruins left behind.
At the shadowy side, all his attributes can exaggerate to their worst, resulting in
reckless destruction and even in cruelty and sadism. His impatience can mount into
instability, always seeking for novelty without getting anything done, with all his
powers burning out unused.
