Hi. I am having these two pop up all the time. Any thoughts? Every question I ask, Q of wands generally in the future position. King swords shows up regularly (at least for now, everywhere)

Queen of Wands could be an approaching female influence coming into your life that has direct bearing on the problem. King of Swords could be a male influence in your life at this time who is causing the problem or has a direct impact on you. It's difficult without the spread/question/position. The courts can also represent aspects of personality you will need to resolve your problem. They may help or hinder, it all depends.

As Caridwen pointed out, it's difficult to say not knowing the spread, question, etc. Court cards can be people in your life or aspects of yourself. So one thing we have to ask is do you either feel like either of these cards represents you--or might represent you--or do they resemble people in your life? Queen/Wands is about passion, drama, energy. She's out there in the spotlight, making things happen. When she walks into a room, eyes turn her way--doesn't matter if she's pretty or not, she's all charisma. People want to obey her commands. Does this sound at all familiar? Know anyone like this? Wands can also relate to career and travel--career-wise, she would indicate great success, a position of responsibility and power. Travel wise, she might indicate going somewhere exciting. For King/Swords, think of a man who makes cool, logical decisions--a judge or head of the science department, perhaps. Maybe someone you know only via the internet as Swords are also about communication and words. He's very rational and thoughtful, far seeing, but emotionally and physically distant. Again, does this sound familiar? Do you know anyone like this? He might also indicate your complete command over some form of communication or reasoning.

The Queen of Wands ~ creative imagination, inspiration... The King of Swords ~ logic (excuses) and rules (excuses). :) Fulgour (who now excuses himself...)

In addition to other answers, I think these two could mean that there is a situation where you should push yourself forward a bit more. I feel like you are lacking in confidence slightly in this particular area, but there is no need for you to feel this way. It's about raising your self-esteem I think. Sue x

King of Swords---airy part of air---pure intellect---can lead to great creativity or lead to a detatchment from realit--"head in the clouds"-- Queen of Wands---watery part of fire---this is fire with compassion, feeling and intuition---female fire so to speak taking into account that we are all female and male---fire that defies oppositon--if reversed or ill-dignified---run!
