We should all have support in our lives, whether that support comes from a friend, someone on the faculty or a family member. This is what the Queen of Wands does: gives everyone the support that they need to succeed.

Midterms week can be just as stressful as final's week. It shows us how well we have done halfway through the semester and how we will do for the overall term. At this time of the semester, we may start to drag, spending hours in the library, barely seeing the light of day. It's difficult to manage our time, and talk to those who will understand what we're going through.

The Queen of Wands is the person that you need to seek out to get the support that you deserve. This Queen is generally seen as a fire symbol-a very strong person. This is the person whot will encourage you to do your best, no matter how challenging the task may be. This is the person that will cheer the loudest in the crowd when we finally received our diploma at graduation. It is through all sorts of appreciation of every expression such as courage, creativity and vision.

The Queen is a symbol of fire with a touch of solar radiance which means that there is no essence more powerful than the sun's rays. This person is the light that shines in you to do your best. Sometimes the Queen of Wands is illustrated with a cat which symbolizes independence and devotion-they are very loyal to the person they support. They are passionate, optimistic and imaginative.

This person is very nurturing, like the energy of a mother that will always be behind you. This person will find whatever it takes to find the strength that is within you to get to your goal. They absolutely hate negativity, but is still in the realms of reality. If you were to drown this person in negativity, they will turn that unconstructive, unhelpful energy into visions of possibilities.

The only "shadow" to this symbol is the fact that they can be over-bearing at times. Sometimes they may lack the knowledge of how difficult the task at hand may be, and they keep telling you to just grow up and get over it.

Or, they could go in a completely opposite direction, and not talk to you at all-give you the cold shoulder and disapprove of anything that you have a strong passion for. It is within human nature that we may be compelled to control another person;this happens all the time. If this person has a domineering attitude toward you in any way, then this is not the person you should seek support from. Find someone else; it may be someone you least expect it to be.

Spring break is just around the corner.For some of us, it may be our last year at Marist but don't get upset about it. Some of us may not be ready for the "real world," but its life-everyone has to do it.

The only advice that the Queen can give you is to strategize that will power you have to make your passion into reality. Be sure to keep the person that supports you most close, and never let that person go.
