KNIGHT OF WANDS – taloudelliset asiat

The Knight of Wands may bring about a bold, yet well-thought-out, step in financial matters.

Sometimes, excessive caution is the most expensive thing. He who always waits always misses out – and always knows afterwards what he should have done.

This card encourages you: if there’s an opportunity that attracts you and you’ve thought it through, take the step. The knight doesn’t analyze for half a year.

But give it direction. Fire sustains and also burns up. Ask yourself: how much can I afford to lose from this? If the answer is "nothing," then this is not your card right now.

The knight's greatest danger in financial matters is impulsiveness. The quick decisions brought on by enthusiasm, for which sobriety then pays the bill.

Its shadow: thoughtless risk.

The angels send this message: dare to take a step, but also calculate.

This card encourages you to take a bolder financial step – an investment, a venture, a risk you've been contemplating for a long time. Many people don't move forward not because they make bad decisions, but because they make no decisions at all.

But in financial matters, it's worth reining in the Knight's energy. Fire is not a good advisor when it comes to numbers: in the heat of the moment, it's easy to sign something you would never do soberly.

All I ask of you is this: before you act, calculate what happens if it doesn't work out. If you can bear that, then go for it bravely, and don't look back. If you can't bear it, reduce the stakes until they become bearable. These few minutes are the difference between courage and recklessness.

If you are facing a major expense – a car, a trip, an asset – sleep on it. What cannot wait one night is usually not a good offer.

If the card appears in a reversed position: if you spent something out of enthusiasm that you now regret, or if a risk went wrong – don't be alarmed, and don't make another sudden decision. Look objectively at the actual damage, and start from there.
