Knight of Swords
The Knight of Swords represents Air of Air—a hurricane of destructive energy embodied by a conflict-seeking individual. This person thrives on both internal and external confrontations, constantly initiating disputes and arguments. When unable to provoke external conflicts, they turn this destructive force inward, engaging in self-destructive behavior. They are reckless, unprotected, and driven by an insatiable need for confrontation and relationship drama.
Keywords
Elemental Nature and Core Energy
Air of Air represents a hurricane of destruction. Here we see a warrior figure that corresponds to the suit, swallowing a sword as if piercing himself with it.
The Conflicted Individual
This is a conflicted person living in constant internal and external conflict, perpetual quarrels, and serving as an initiator of confrontations. When there is conflict in the moment and they cannot manage to initiate or even ignite it, they are ready to destroy themselves. The destructive energy has nowhere else to go.
Reckless and Unprotected Nature
There is no headwear, which may speak to their recklessness. But also, a hat as a symbol of closure and protection, which they lack. They rush headlong into danger.
Purpose and Self-Destruction
Their goal is conflict itself, from which they cannot escape—harsh, difficult relationship confrontations. A person in a state of self-destruction due to their desire to create scandals. This person is scandal incarnate.
