Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords embodies clear, cool, uncompromising truth and keen judgment, like a northern wind. She represents a wise Slavic strategist archetype who favors logic, precision, and firm boundaries formed through experience and loss. Upright, she calls for candid communication, fair decisions, and independence tempered by empathy. Reversed, she warns of harsh words, rigid judgment, and isolation; temper intellect with softness to avoid cynicism.

Visual Description
A regal woman with long pale hair stands front-facing, wearing a jeweled crown and ornate earrings. She holds an upright sword with both hands at her chest, its point downward, below the frame. Her fur-trimmed blue and green robes are heavy with embroidery and pearls, and ribbons curl around her waist and sleeves. Behind her, tall staffs carry wind-whipped banners in red, white, and green against a pale sky.
Archetype and Image
The Queen of Swords stands like a northern wind—clear, cool, and uncompromising—her banners snapping as if to announce that only truth may pass. She evokes the Slavic archetype of the wise tsaritsa or polyanitsa, the strategist-queen of byliny who rules with keen judgment and a steady hand.
Upright Guidance
Upright, she invites you to cut through fog, speak plainly, and set firm boundaries, honoring experience won through trials and loss. Decisions favor logic, fairness, and clean lines: contracts, strategies, and communications benefit from precision and candor. She encourages independence without bitterness and empathy without surrendering clarity.
Reversed Warning
Reversed, her air grows biting: words can wound, judgments become rigid, and isolation masquerades as strength. Beware cynicism, gossip, or using intellect to keep the heart at bay; soften the edge without sheathing the truth.
Final Counsel
Whether facing conflict or counsel, aim for the blade that separates fact from fancy, yet keep a silk glove over the grip.
