Minor Arcana

Knight of Swords

The Knight of Swords charges forward at full gallop, sword raised, driven by a powerful wind. The card speaks of decisive action, intellectual force, and the rush to pursue an idea or a truth. There is bravery here, and also the danger of speed without reflection.

Upright

A clear conviction wants to move fast, and there is power in acting decisively on what you know. Direct the drive toward something worthy of it. Let conviction lead, but keep enough presence to see the terrain.

Reversed

Reversed, the charge can become recklessness, harsh words, or force that tramples whatever stands in its path. The mind outruns the heart. Slow the gallop enough to ask whether you are pursuing truth or simply needing to win.
