General Meaning

The Queen of Swords keeps her distance and has difficulty welcoming those close to her. Those who are worthy of her company must respect her independence and intellect. Her mind perceives clearly, and she sees all sides of a situation clearly, allowing her to manipulate circumstances to her advantage. Her coolness may seem unfeeling, but those few whom she loves, she loves passionately. If this card does not represent a person, it may indicate the need for detached evaluation of the entire situation before taking action.

Keywords

Sharp mind, cooling of emotions, strategy for advancing carefully considered actions; emotions hidden under control; striking at the right time.

Visual Description

A seated queen occupies an ornate throne with high curved back and stylized winged armrests, a long sword held vertically with its tip near the floor. She wears a simple crown and a wreath of green leaves braided into her red hair, ribbons trailing over her robes. The scene is framed by an intricate blue floral border; behind her are trees, a pale sky with flying birds, and decorative circular motifs flanking the throne.
