King of Swords
The King of Swords represents an intelligent and decisive leader who acts with justice, confidence, and determination. He is an authoritative figure and mediator capable of cutting through confusion to reach the truth. When reversed, his noble qualities become corrupted, warning against leaders who abuse power and manipulate others, or cautioning you to examine these tendencies within yourself.

Upright Meaning
A king with antler horns gazes from the twilight of his helmet. The King of Swords is an intelligent and decisive leader who acts justly, confidently, and decisively. He is often perceived as an authoritative figure and mediator, for he has the power to sort through chaos and confusion to reach the truth in any matter. He works well under pressure and does not shift responsibility to others. Appearing in a spread, the King of Swords calls for acting quickly, decisively, and with a clear head.
Reversed Meaning
In the reversed King of Swords, all the wonderful qualities become distorted and take on a sinister tone. Beware of a leader who abuses their power and advantage to manipulate those around them. Monitor such qualities within yourself. There is also a possibility that you have trusted someone who wants to use you; do not allow yourself to be played with in psychological games.
