General Love Meaning
The King of Swords always adopts a rational approach and isn't interested in doing it any other way. He may seem cold, but he knows that dealing with things logically is often the best way to move forward. This card asks you to see things from a rational perspective and use your mind to make a plan to move ahead. If this doesn't fit your situation, it's time to consult an expert outside of your immediate connections to gain some clarity.
Single and Loving It!
You are more than capable of handling your affairs and living the single life. But the fact that you can do everything on your own doesn't mean you should. This card has come to your reading today as a sign to accept a little help and swallow your pride, especially if you're feeling a bit lonely. Don't cut people off too quickly because we all need connection in our lives.
Ready for Love / Dating
Don't settle for someone who hasn't put in the work on their self-development. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be with someone who has a similar level of emotional intelligence to yours. Taking care of someone who has the emotional capacity of a five-year-old won't meet your needs. You've done the work and deserve an equal.
Committed Relationship
Communication may not be flowing smoothly in your relationship and at home right now. It's time to turn off the devices and reset basic levels of courtesy and communication. Start listening again and hear what's important to your loved ones.
Struggling Relationship
This card appears when someone is married to their work. It can be difficult when work is a bigger priority than family and loved ones. Care and time must be consistent for any relationship to thrive, even if someone does humanitarian or frontline work. An adjustment should be made now.
The End
The King of Swords is an expert who can help you see things for what they are. The cards ask you to find someone to talk to. You need help putting the ended relationship firmly in the past so it doesn't negatively affect future ones. Your future happiness is worth the investment.
