Knight of Swords
The Knight of Swords depicts a bold warrior charging with a raised sword under a bleeding moon, an omen of war indicating a readiness to fight to the death for grand ambitions. Upright, the card signals unbridled ambition, decisive and massive action, quick thinking, and relentless courage in seizing opportunities. Reversed, it warns of loss of passion, lack of focus, fleeing from opportunities, arrogance, and tactless or bullying behavior that ignores danger. The imagery emphasizes both the power of determined action and the risk of reckless or rude forcefulness, urging discernment in how one pursues goals.

A red-armored knight wearing a horned, beast-like helmet rides a white, horned steed and holds a sword raised high. The mount has scaled flanks and breathes small tongues of fire, while a dark, horned creature lies beneath the horse's hooves. Stars and a red circular sun with teardrop shapes appear in the sky; the knight's tabard and the horse's caparison show patterned blue and gold fabric, and a banner-like border frames the image with the label KNIGHT·OF·SWORDS at the bottom.
