In the King of Wands, we see a figure leaning forward on his throne: he does not seem as solidly planted on his seat as the Queen but, rather, as if he is about to - or very much wanting to - spring up and into action. In this way, he represents the culmination of the suit: the fiery Wands have been directed into successful, often long-term, projects, and yet still burn brightly with passion and great energy.

In this card we see a figure who wields all the suits of the Major Arcana with confidence: in his raised hand he holds a Wand, while on the table (or altar) before him lies a Pentacle, a Cup, and a Sword. They await his will. And herein lies the key to understanding this powerful card: The Magician is intention. He is the focused assertion of the will and the paths that open before us as a result.

We see in the traditional Rider Waite image of the Seven of Wands the figure of a man in the midst of battle; despite the clear effort and intense focus of his expression, he has literally risen above his attackers and is holding the high ground. We do not see his adversaries, simply the Wands with which they are fighting; we have the sense that, despite their greater number, he is in no danger of being overwhelmed.

Ten of Pentacles represents a sense of security and a certain standing within your community. This card can also signify prosperity for both yourself and your family.

The Page Of Swords is all about communication and sharing. This card urges you to be open to new ideas and a different way of thinking. Ultimately, this card is about learning and being open enough to be taught new things that can be added to your list of skills. 

The Queen of Pentacles depicts a Queen sitting on her throne. It signifies either you are in a position to care for others and provide for them generously in a material way or that you are in need of such in return. The Queen caringly looking at the gold coin in her hands indicates both her wealth and her nurturing quality. She is a prime example of someone who takes on both domestic and provider roles.
