Knight of Swords

Introduction

Rhett Butler leaps down from his perch, Rose in mouth, ready to battle the enemy street cats without fear of losing. He is so obsessed with the idea of being a knight in shining armour, that he neglects to think of any of the potential consequences that may come from him entering the fray.

Upright Meaning

The Knight of Roses represents self assured action, but warns against impulsiveness and impetuous behavior. He is bold, brave, and without judgement. He encourages us to seize the moment. The Knight of Roses expects his enemies to fall easily as he has never lost a battle. However, he doesn't yet know how to sustain a long struggle of strategy and his impulsive attitude may indicate the pretense of bravado. The Knight of Roses is nervous about being with himself and his emotions and directs all his energy outwards.

Reversed Meaning

The Knight of Roses can be weak in extravagance and excess. He can be careless with how he approaches delicate situations. He reveals that we are mischanneling our energy and are making impulsive decisions.

Visual Description

A mint-green cat is captured mid-leap above a city ledge, a single red rose near its mouth as if offered. Four other cats of different colors sit below, heads tilted upward watching the airborne figure. Behind them are autumnal orange trees and a modern building, and a vertical sign with stylized characters and stars. The scene is framed by a decorative golden border with a crescent moon at the top and a banner at the bottom that reads "Knight of Roses."
