Card 61 • swords

Knight of Swords

Brief Description

The Knight of Swords represents a bold, sharp-minded, and decisive individual who charges forward with fierce determination. While his direct approach and logical thinking can be valuable in situations requiring reason and truth-seeking, his methods can sometimes be harsh and domineering. When reversed, he becomes dangerously impulsive and reckless, entering conflicts without understanding the circumstances and lacking tact or diplomacy.

Upright Meaning

Issuing a fierce battle cry, the Knight of Swords throws himself headlong into battle. The Knight of Swords is a brave, perceptive, and decisive person. He is not one to choose his words carefully, hesitate, or allow emotions to get the better of him. When you find yourself in a situation requiring the use of reason and logic, you should adopt his confident manner of pushing through to the truth with force. However, there are times when his harsh and domineering methods are not the best option. Try to balance his positive traits with compassion and a diplomatic approach.

Reversed Meaning

The reversed Knight of Swords is impatient and dangerously impulsive. He enters into conflict without understanding the circumstances, with tactless and diplomatic intemperance. If you notice these qualities in yourself or in someone you know, beware of reckless actions and the dangers that accompany them.
