Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords represents clear-eyed wisdom born from both joy and sorrow, offering candid, fact-based insight. She nurtures ideas and conversations with disciplined self-reliance and guarded strength, favoring truth over warmth. Her counsel can cool emotions with poise and a smile, and she expects loyalty and respect in return. Reversed, this energy can turn cruel, intolerant, petty, or gossipy, using intellect to harm rather than heal.

Description
The Queen of Swords has seen it all, knows it all, and unfortunately, has suffered more than her share of sorrow. Devoted to those she loves, she will nurture ideas and conversations with crystal clarity, using reliable facts and candid (if not harsh) honesty. She is not known for her warmth, but if it answers you seek, she is the one to solve them. Don't waste her time or betray her; she will cool you down—with poise and a smile.

Visual Description
A lone female figure stands at the center, her face partially revealed through intersecting translucent triangular planes that refract pale colors. A straight, thin sword crosses the composition near her hands, its blade rendered in a delicate, almost white line. The background is a muted horizon of grays and soft pastels, with geometric facets extending to the ground plane. The title 'QUEEN OF SWORDS' is printed at the bottom of the card.
