There are few moments in a relationship reading as electrifying as the return. He pulled away, the silence was deafening, and now he is back. But he isn’t just back; he’s back with an energy that feels different—bold, confident, perhaps even a little demanding. When you pull the Queen of Wands in this context, you aren’t dealing with a timid apology or a confusing re-entry. You are dealing with a resurgence of fire, attraction, and undeniable presence.
In my experience as a tarot reader, the Queen of Wands appearing during a reconciliation or return phase is a massive green flag for chemistry, but it also comes with a warning label about ego and independence. This card signifies that the dynamic has shifted. He isn’t coming back out of loneliness or desperation; he is coming back because he recognizes your light, your power, and your irresistible allure. He is returning to the flame.
In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the deeper layers of the Queen of Wands when he returns after a period of distance. We will decode why he left, why he’s back, and most importantly, how this fiery energy dictates the future of your connection.

The Queen of Wands Energy: A Fiery Return
From Ghost to Fire
When a man returns under the influence of the Queen of Wands, the energy is unmistakable. Unlike the slow, hesitant return of a Pentacles card or the emotional, tearful return of a Cups card, the Queen of Wands return is an event. It is high-energy. He might slide back into your life as if he never left, bringing jokes, flirtation, and excitement immediately to the forefront.
This card represents the element of Fire—action, will, and spirit. The Queen is the master of this element. She doesn’t beg; she attracts. Therefore, his return is often driven by a sudden realization of what he was missing. He remembers your vibrancy, your confidence, and the way you made him feel alive. The distance likely made him realize that his life was significantly duller without your spark. He is returning to the source of heat.

Why He Came Back: The Magnetic Pull
Addiction to the Glow
Why did he pull away only to come back so strongly? The Queen of Wands suggests that he pulled away because he was perhaps intimidated by the intensity or needed to assert his own independence (a very Wands trait). However, he came back because your energy is addictive. The Queen of Wands is often called the “witch” of the deck because of her ability to manifest and magnetize.
In practical terms, he likely compared you to others during his time away and found them lacking. He missed your confidence. He missed the challenge you present. He isn’t looking for a shrinking violet; he realized he wants a partner who stands equal to him. He returned because he respects your autonomy. Ironically, if you chased him during the separation, he likely would have stayed away. If you embodied the Queen of Wands—living your best life, posting fabulous photos, focusing on your passions—that is exactly what drew him back in.

The Shift in Power Dynamics
Taking the Throne
The return marked by the Queen of Wands signals a significant shift in power. When he left, he held the power of the “leaver.” Now that he is back, the power resides firmly with the “receiver”—you. The Queen of Wands sits on her throne facing forward, legs apart, holding a sunflower. She is open, yes, but she is undeniably in charge.
He recognizes this shift. He knows he has to earn his spot back next to you. This isn’t a card of groveling, but it is a card of respect. He sees you as a prize now, not an option. This shift is crucial for the health of the relationship moving forward. You are no longer the one waiting; you are the one deciding. He is likely on his best behavior, trying to impress you with his humor, his success, or his attentiveness to prove he can handle your fire.

Reconciliation Style: Passion vs. Stability
Fast Burn, High Heat
It is important to manage expectations regarding the style of this reconciliation. The Queen of Wands is Fire, not Earth. This means his return will be characterized by passion, fun, and high intensity, but perhaps lacking in immediate stability or long-term planning. He wants to take you out, show you off, and experience the physical chemistry again.
He might want to skip the heavy “why did you leave” conversations and jump straight back into the good times. This can be exhilarating, but also frustrating if you need closure. The Queen of Wands energy is about the “now.” He is back because he wants to enjoy you now. While this doesn’t rule out long-term commitment, the initial phase of his return will be focused on reigniting the spark rather than laying bricks for a foundation. You will need to decide if this high-octane reentry meets your emotional needs.

Queen of Wands as His Perception of You
The Irreplaceable Muse
When he looks at you now, he sees the Queen of Wands. This is a massive compliment. He sees you as independent, fiercely attractive, social, and capable. He sees someone who doesn’t need him, which makes him want you. He perceives you as the life of the party, the woman who turns heads when she walks into a room.
This perception is likely why he felt safe coming back. He assumes you are strong enough to handle his departure and his return without crumbling. He doesn’t see you as a victim of his ghosting; he sees you as a Queen who probably didn’t even notice he was gone (even if you cried every night). He is attracted to your resilience. Maintaining this image of strength is key to keeping his interest during this fragile reconnection phase.

Reversed Meaning: Returning for the Wrong Reasons
Jealousy and Ego
If the Queen of Wands appears Reversed regarding his return, the narrative darkens. A reversed Queen can be demanding, jealous, and vindictive. If he is coming back under this influence, he might be returning because his ego was bruised. Perhaps he saw you moving on or getting attention from someone else, and he couldn’t handle it.
In this scenario, his return isn’t about love; it’s about territory. He wants to reassert his claim on you. He might be manipulative, trying to dim your light because it threatens him. Be very careful if the reconciliation feels competitive or if he makes backhanded compliments about your success or independence. This is the shadow side of Fire: the desire to consume rather than to warm.

Action Steps: How to Handle His Return
Match His Frequency
The Queen of Wands does not sit around asking, “Do you still love me?” She knows she is lovable. The best way to handle his return is to embody the upright energy of this card. Be warm, be inviting, but maintain your boundaries. Do not punish him with cold silence (that’s the Queen of Swords), but don’t let him walk all over you either.
Show him that your life continued beautifully without him. Invite him to join you on your adventures. If you have plans, keep them. Let him fit into your schedule. This reinforces the dynamic that drew him back: that you are the main character of your own life. Let the chemistry flow, enjoy the passion, but keep your crown firmly on your head.

Is He Back for Good? Long-Term Potential
Sustaining the Fire
The million-dollar question: will he stay this time? The Queen of Wands is optimistic. It suggests a vibrant, energetic future. However, Fire needs fuel. For this reconciliation to last, the relationship must remain dynamic. He will likely pull away again if things become too stagnant, boring, or restrictive.
To keep the Queen of Wands dynamic alive, you both need to maintain your independence. This is a couple that thrives on having separate hobbies, separate friends, and coming together to share their triumphs. If the relationship becomes codependent, the fire will smother. He is back for the excitement and the partnership of equals. As long as that flame is tended to—through spontaneity, mutual support of ambitions, and physical intimacy—the potential for a lasting, power-couple dynamic is very high.

Q: What if I feel anxious about his return?
