Knight of Wands upright

An armored knight on a rearing horse, salamander emblems on his cloak. All forward motion, sometimes more motion than direction.

Channel the energy. The Knight of Wands gets things done when given a clear track; without one, he kicks dust without arriving anywhere.

Knight of Wands reversed

Reversed, the charge becomes recklessness or impatience. Or the momentum has stalled and the knight is sitting in armor with nowhere to go.
