Knight of Swords

Knight of Swords — The 1909 London Deck

Knight of Swords — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

directness, speed, charging at it

Fast and unhesitating, which cuts through obstruction and occasionally through people. Effective here.

In a yes or no reading, Knight of Swords upright answers yes.

Reversed

rashness, aggression, no thought

All momentum, no steering. The point being made is being lost in how it is made.

In a yes or no reading, Knight of Swords reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Knight of Swords can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
