Knight of Swords
The Knight of Swords represents someone charging into conflict with fierce passion and an uncompromising attitude. Although protected by layers of armor that create a sense of safety, that protection also blinds and isolates the Knight from the situation. This lack of perspective causes a loss of nuance and a tendency to cast opposing ideas as villains to be vanquished. The card warns that you may have forgotten the real purpose of the battle you're charging into and suggests pausing to reassess motives and actions.

KNIGHT OF SWORDS
Meaning
The Knight charges into the fray with a passion for the cause, launching themselves into the conflict with a take-no-prisoners attitude. Protected by layers of defense, the Knight feels safe from any attack, but while the armor protects, it also blinds and keeps the Knight removed from the situation. The Knight loses the ability to see any nuance or complexity and assumes any opposing idea is a villain to be vanquished. You may have forgotten the real purpose of the battle you're charging into.
Visual Description
A charging armored knight leans forward on a galloping horse, sword raised high in his right hand. The rider wears a goggles-like mask or gas mask and a bright red cape billows behind him. The horse is elaborately barded with gold and purple trim and its mane and tack are shown in strong dark lines. Pale sky and stylized clouds in the background, plus motion lines around the figures, emphasize speed and forward momentum.
