General Love Meaning
The Knight of Swords loves to take action. They don't stay on the sidelines and let people know exactly what they want. They're not afraid of rejection because they know there are unlimited options for them. It's time to embody this knight and go after what your heart desires. If this doesn't ring true for you, it's a sign that someone with this energy will enter your life and perhaps your bed.
Single and Loving It!
You're probably experiencing itchy feet and a bit of wanderlust, and that's completely normal when the Knight of Swords appears in a reading. If you've been daydreaming about traveling to a distant place or trying something new, this is a sign that it's the right time to act on those desires.
Ready for Love / Dating
Be bold, ask that hottie at the gym out on a date. See if that person you've been crushing on at the gym feels the same way about you. Sometimes you have to take the initiative and be the one to put yourself out there. Remember, consent is sexy, so get that before you start.
Committed Relationship
It's time to spice things up a little (or a lot). Maybe it's time to add some excitement to the vanilla ice cream between the sheets. Or perhaps you haven't spent any time stimulating each other mentally lately. On your next date night, try some role-playing or go to a new place. Get a little impulsive!
Struggling Relationship
Someone's reckless behavior in your relationship is making you question whether you want to continue with it. You have to be the one to decide whether it's worth it or not. Even if you're tempted to give the other party what they deserve, be careful. It might seem like a good idea now, but it's likely to make things worse.
The End
You may find yourself in that very uncomfortable position where your ex is trying to get back into your good graces (or your underwear). Be strong and reinforce your boundaries. Don't let this sweet-talking knight get into your head and make you think you can't live without them. You've got this.
Visual Description
A dark horse rears on its hind legs against a pale blue sky while a rider leans forward, hair and clothing swept by the wind. The rider grasps a long upright sword in one hand and the reins in the other, perched on a simple saddle with legs braced. Below them a grassy slope dotted with small red flowers rises toward the figure, and the scene is dominated by motion and upward thrust.
