Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords is a figure of cool precision and clear boundaries, with a mind honed by experience that cuts through confusion to reveal essential truth. Upright, she embodies honest counsel, independence, and the ability to make decisions free from sentimentality while valuing clarity, direct communication, and fair judgment. Reversed, she warns of hardness, bitterness, or cruel bluntness that isolates and wounds rather than frees, and she reminds you to check the warmth of your delivery. Use her discernment to prune illusions, set firm boundaries, and hold your ground with integrity rather than sarcasm.

Visual Description
A pale woman in a long cream gown stands before a large full moon and a starry night sky. She wears a blue head covering and dark eye makeup, holding a small red apple in one hand and a slender pin or dagger in the other. Shadowed trees frame the scene and a cat sits near her feet. An ornate gold border surrounds the image and a brass nameplate at the bottom reads "AUNT SISSIE MISTRESS OF PINS" with smaller text beneath.
Meaning
The Queen of Swords speaks with cool precision and clear boundaries, a mind honed by experience that slices through confusion to reveal essential truth. Upright she embodies honest counsel, independence, and the ability to make decisions free from sentimentality; she values clarity, direct communication, and fair judgment. She can advise you to sever what is deceitful or obstructive, to name facts plainly and protect your limits with dignity. Yet the same sharpness can cut too deep: reversed she warns of hardness, bitterness, or cruel bluntness that isolates and wounds rather than frees. In a reading she asks you to trust your intellect but also to check the warmth of your delivery, for clarity without compassion becomes cold judgment. Use her discernment to prune illusions, not to punish mistakes, and hold your ground with integrity rather than sarcasm. The card favors truth spoken plainly, boundaries set firmly, and an inner clarity that permits action without needless cruelty.
