KNIGHT OF SWORDS DESCRIPTION
The Knight’s sword held high, he seems to practically fly across this endless desert. The Knight of Swords is not in the mood for taking prisoners. This is someone who’ll go to any length and endure any hardship to get what he wants.
You can’t see the tip of his sword on the Knight of Swords Tarot card. When the Knight strikes, his foes won’t know what hit them. But they will see his face. His visor is up because he wants them to know exactly who’s putting an end to their shenanigans.
The colour of his cape also symbolizes his passion and limitless energy. His helmet’s feather plume is red in the Knight of Swords card, too, here representing swiftness.
The feathers symbolize his dreams and goals. So do the birds on his tabard and his horse’s reins in the Knight of Swords Tarot card. Birds represent the theoretical aspect of the Knight’s ambitions. The fact that the Knight of Swords is also wearing them means that he’s not just wistfully sighing after them.

REVERSED KNIGHT OF SWORDS
|
When reversed, the Knight of Swords Tarot card points out that your intense drive is lacking focus – or that you need to pull the brakes. Sometimes, the Knight of Swords card suggests that you need to give others credit for their contributions to a group project.
It doesn’t matter how crucial your efforts were; they were part of a team effort. If you ignore this, your partners are likely to think you’re arrogant. The reversed Knight of Swords can indicate that you need to be on your guard, particularly with people who are new. Someone may come into your life who is not trustworthy; they are not necessarily a thief in the literal sense but could be a "thief" of energy, information, or ideas. General: If this card appears when you have some travel coming up, be prepared for the trip to take longer than you would like or expect. Be cautious about sharing information in any form; Emails are generally not secure and nearly any telephone conversation can be overheard or recorded. No need to be paranoid, but there is a need to be prudent. Work: When the Knight of Swords appears reversed when you are already working, watch out for a co-worker who may shamelessly try to take all the credit for your work. Be sure that you have a paper trail and backups to prove you have been doing things the correct way. Someone may also try to blame you for a problem that wasn't your fault. Stand up tall and protect yourself. Love: When the Knight of Swords appears in reverse and you're looking for love, this would be a signal to keep your eyes open and to try to look below the surface when you meet new prospective partners. Just because someone may try overly hard to impress you when you first meet doesn't mean that they're a loser. In an ongoing love relationship, something may be bothering your partner. |

Finances: The reversed Knight can indicate that someone may try to swindle you out of some money or at the very least, may ask you to pay far more than an item is worth. Do your homework and don't be swayed by any "fast talkers."
Health: Your health care practitioners may be coming across as though they are completely sure what is ailing you when in fact the situation could be less clear than they or you, think. This doesn't have to be bad news, in fact, it could be very good. Do some research of your own and consider a second opinion if necessary.
