Knight of Swords
Knight of Swords signals swift action, ambition, and a resolute drive toward new ventures, symbolized by the peregrine falcon's speed and focus. It encourages assertive communication and decisive movement but warns against rushing so fast that you overlook obstacles. When balanced, this card brings determination and effective pursuit of goals; when extreme or reversed, it can manifest as chaos, arrogance, impatience, or rash decisions. Use its energy deliberately: harness momentum while pausing to assess risks before charging forward.
