warmthpresenceconfidencemagnetism
Warm, certain, and entirely herself in a room. The Queen of Wands is confidence that does not need anybody to agree with it, and it draws people rather than pushing at them. As advice: be the whole of yourself here, loudly.
Reversed

The light is turned down. Reversed, this is confidence that has taken a knock, comparison with other people eating the pleasure out of things, or warmth curdled into needing to be the centre.
What is in the picture
A queen with a sunflower and a staff, a black cat at her feet, facing directly out of the card. She is the only court figure looking straight at you.
