Knight of Swords's Meaning

If you or someone close to you is represented by the Knight of Swords, beware. It is symbolic of a forceful personality, one which combines zealous dedication to success with razor-sharp intellect. However, whether in the form of a companion or your own inner nature, these same attributes can give rise to a formidable enemy. When it refers instead to your circumstances, the Knight suggests you are headed for turbulent times, which can be most successfully faced with decisive action on your part.

Past

The desire for change has been strengthening inside of you. Plan your future objectives but keep them to yourself.

Present

You gain the attention of a young upstart. A problem will be solved through the help you receive, but be prepared to deal with a new one.

Future

Your life's compass may be suddenly realigned by a drastic change in perspective. Look to your friends and loved ones for encouragement.

Yes / No Key Interpretation

The Knight of Swords is domineering and destructive. He represents taking control of a project or situation but in a ruthless manner. This card portends unexpected loss, conflict, and a need to establish your own ideas and beliefs. The negative tone of this card suggests an answer of no.

Divinatory meaningUpright - A clever, skillful and active person, courageous and strong, always at his best in a difficult situation.  He may have a tendency to dominate and depending upon surrounding cards, his movement may be either in or out of the querent's life for either better or worse.  He is the archetypal warrior.

Ill Dignified or Reversed - The card reversed, lends itself to someone who is impetuous, sly and deceitful, fierce in action with little staying power.  A starter but not a finisher of things.  Quarrels may be indicated, but this depends upon surrounding cards.  Application of great force and energy becomes 'simple-minded indulgence'.
