On the positive front, the Tarot Knight of Swords is a master of reason and logic. He has a very keen intellect that grasps the finer points of any subject. He speaks directly, clearly and always with authority. His judgments are truth enabled, sure and free of emotion. Others may rely on his lucid analysis of problems and their solutions. On the negative front, this Knight is not a good master of diplomacy. He can be downright rude and tactless. When he thinks you are wrong, you'll know it. He's convinced of his own superiority and has very little tolerance for stupidity. He expects others to always comply with his views. To him, feelings are illogical and irrelevant.

In Tarot readings, a Knight of Swords shows that his penetrating style is involved in the situation as an aspect of you, someone else or the atmosphere in general. you need to ask yourself, "Is this Knight's energy helping me as well as others around me or hurting us all?"

If his style is evident, then a balance is needed. Are you always forcing your position on others? Do you get in trouble for saying what you think like? Is your partner too aloof and cold? Do your colleagues tend to be critical rather than being supportive with you? It may be time for a change.

If this Knight's energy is missing in your life, a generous dose of clear-sightedness may be called for. Are you being too emotional? Let your head rule your heart next time around. Do you overvalue the opinions of others? Trust your very own authority. Speak your mind out. Let the Knight of Swords introduce you to his world of self-assurance and reason.
