Astrology and numerology
Court cards are read as people or as styles of behaviour rather than as events. Queen of Wands is traditionally linked with the fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. These links are looser than those for the numbered cards, and writers differ over which court goes with which sign.
Yes or no
In yes or no tarot, Queen of Wands counts as a yes when upright, and as a no when reversed. This follows a common convention and not a rule from the deck's makers.
