From the Tyldwick Tarot, the King of Staves; from the Antiquarian Lenormand, Crossroads:
The King of Staves is elementally known as Air of Fire. As he's aged, he's balanced out his fiery impulsiveness with knowledge and logic. The French horn seen here is an offshoot of the hunting horn. It was used to signal the hounds and other huntsmen to tell them what to do or what was happening. This king enjoys being the leader of the "hunt" because he can channel his adventuresome spirit into a practical purpose. The Crossroads card indicates new possibilities on a different path. With his love of challenges, this king won't stick with tradition, especially if it is no longer useful. He likes to be on the cutting edge of whatever is new; for him it is exciting to try a new solution to an old problem. For him, just because a tradition is old doesn't make it true or the wisest choice.
The best moments usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile. ―Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
