This is really an interesting question! You write that you asked a question and then had a card you did not expect. A card that, you find, looks unpleasant and stroppy (thank you for teaching me a new word!).
Well, I think this Queen gave you a great answer to your question. How can you cultivate peace in 2017? Not the way you thought to do it. It will be different from what you imagined, more difficult, definitely a challenge. Is there an unpleasant and stroppy person in your life with whom you find it difficult to keep the peace? Or is there a part within you that is like this queen who is more bent on confrontation than peace? Now isn't it possible to have both - first a confrontation, then peace? Are there things you hide in your belly in order to keep the peace?
If you have a reading where the cards are totally unexpeted, rejoice. That's your opportunity to enter a real dialogue with the card. A card that makes us feel uncomfortable is always the card we need.
I alway say that tarot is like the Queen of England who has the rights to be consulted, to encourage and to warn. And that's what the cards do. Of course, they can also do a lot of other things, but in readings, they will give their opinion, encourage and warn.
Does this queen of wands encourage you to be more unpleasant and stroppy and be less peaceful? Or is she pointing to the reason why peace is such a priority for you?
Just let this card talk to you. She will tell you more than a sedate and lovely card may have told you.
