The One Who Rides With Great Momentum

Determination and Eagerness

The Knight of Swords races forward. They are a powerful figure full of strength, determination, and eagerness to overcome all obstacles. On the flip-side, this Knight is obsessed with making an idea reality, and this desire can make them unaware of the difficulties they may encounter and the potential consequences of their actions. They expect all obstacles to fall before them, and are unlikely to react gracefully if they do not.

Focus and Ambition

If you are the Knight of Swords, you are likely focused on reaching a goal. What could possibly stand in your way? The Knight of Swords may signify that you are an unstoppable freight train of ambition on the fast track to success. It could also signify that you are cutting corners, charging forward without a plan, or refusing to see the potential negative impact of your valiant quest.

Pause and Reconsider

If the Knight of Swords comes up for you in a reading, take the time to consider if racing forward at full steam is the best way to get where you want to go. Should you take a moment to pause and reconsider your plan of attack? Is there a possibility that this plan is dangerous, or shouldn’t be pursued at all?
