King of Scepters
Upright: Natural-born leader, grand visions, long-term success
Reversed: Poor leadership, aggressive goals, high expectations, personal direction
King of Scepters represents pure fire energy in its masculine form. Unlike the other Scepters court cards, the King is not so interested in creation and creativity. Instead, he is more inclined to take an idea and enlist others to help him actualize that idea. Thus, when King of Scepters appears in a Tarot reading, it is a sign that you are stepping into the role of visionary leader, ready to lead your people towards a common goal. You have a clear vision of where you want to go and now you are manifesting that vision with the support of the people around you. Others naturally gravitate towards you because of your charisma, focus, and determination, and they believe in you and your vision. King of Scepters reminds you to lead your life with intent, vision, and a long-term view.
King of Scepters holds a red Aztec-styled scepter, representing life and creativity. The intricate embroidery of his Mexican ceremonial wedding-style suit and sombrero symbolize infinity and the ongoing drive to move forward against all obstacles. This King is led by the Zodiac sign of Leo, symbolizing fire and strength. The red and orange sash at his waist is bright like a flame-the flame of life, creativity, and strength. The appearance of King of Scepters also suggests that an opportunity is presenting itself to you, and you now have the power to accept this opportunity and take on the challenge. You can create any outcome you wish, so be mindful about your intentions and vision. You hold the power.
People born under the sign of Leo are natural born leaders. They are dramatic, creative, self-confident, dominant, extremely difficult to resist, and able to achieve anything they want to in any area of life to which they commit.
