Knight of Swords
The Knight of Swords represents intellectual agility, boldness, and restless, youthful energy that charges toward mental challenges and rapid solutions. He pursues ideas with passion and purity of intent, often achieving creative and swift success, though sometimes by taking impulsive or risky actions.

Reversed, the Knight's force can become apathy, arrogance, unreliability, or an overindulgence in trivialities.

Description
If Knights are heroic, restless, and fancy themselves invincible, the Knight of Swords is all of these things—amplified. Representing the adolescent spirit, his intentions are pure and passionate, but they can also be impulsive, quick-tempered, and (at times) careless. He loves a good mental challenge but he doesn't like wasting time. If an idea is practical, thoughtful, and well navigates the most tangled of obstacles to assist, achieving creative and rapid (but perhaps risky) success.

Visual Description
A pale, ghostly figure in a white robe leans forward holding a long sword upright. The figure appears to be moving or lunging above a diagonal field of many narrow, brightly colored parallel stripes that radiate across the lower half of the card. The background is soft, misty, and lightly shaded in pastel tones, giving the scene an airy, windswept feeling. The composition emphasizes forward motion and the sharp vertical blade against diffuse light.
