Knight of Swords

An assertive and enthusiastic individual who is highly intelligent and attuned to their goals. The Knight of Swords views the world around them as a playground of opportunities and sets high standards for their life, working to the brink of their potential and endurance. This may appear intimidating to others, as not many people can live up to their high level of intensity or demand. They may appear antisocial, curt, or abrasive at times, paying no attention to criticism from others, often demonstrating a minor lack of foresight but great determination in achieving what they want. This key encourages us to have faith in our dreams and to enforce our inner-confidence at every corner and turn. We are powerful, unique, and brilliant in our own right.

Reversed

A sense of impatience or impulsivity. This key when reversed, indicates an energetic mind that never quiets or calms. Even though there may be wonderful ideas, hopes, and deeper aspirations, there is a need for organization and proper planning. This card can also allude to a state of rebelliousness and naive risk-taking. Gaining more life experience through making mistakes may be a necessary evil in this case.
