King of Batons
The King of Batons hails you from a distant hilltop, a beacon of wisdom and fairness. His power is infectious; the journey to his side feels short despite your fatigue.
A creator of success through drive and good humour, the King of Batons is a seductive companion. But do not draw too close, for he is not someone who takes affairs of the heart seriously.
Upright
- Vitality
- Commercial success
- Superficiality
Bring your vitality to bear on commercial arrangements with others. Look to surrounding cards to determine the specifics of these arrangements, and trust in your ability to influence other parties.
The King of Wands may join your journey as the male partner in a forbidden love affair. Enjoy his attentions while they last, but do expect anything more; he is not in a position to make commitments.
Inverted
- Material success
- Selfishness
- Misplaced affection
Your drive may lead you to material success, but be wary of the spiritual cost; selfishness and intolerance will cause those around you to suspect that you are using them for your own ends. They may be right.
Do not rely on charming, attractive companions for anything other than conversation. Although interesting, they may not be reliable.
