QUEEN OF SWORDS DESCRIPTION
In her lifetime, the Queen of Swords has overcome many physical and emotional challenges by keeping a cool head. Often, this involved making painful sacrifices and letting go of childish fantasies.
As the water aspect of air, this Queen has learned to put her emotions aside, using her sword to cut fancy from fact. The Queen of Swords’ head is crowned with butterflies, symbols of transformation.
It reaches above the back of her throne, signifying her earthly position and the receding storm clouds, the drama and clamor of the world.
The Queen is focused on what’s truly important, the clear blue sky above her in the Queen of Swords Tarot card. The bird soaring in these heights represents spiritual purity and her ideals.
Having risen above her painful past, she has not forgotten it. In the Queen of Swords Tarot card, the string of beads around her wrist symbolizes fears conquered. She wraps herself in her painful memories, the cloak with the cloudy sky. As the cypress trees behind her show, she is no stranger to mourning.

If you're looking for work, you're in the space of being able to present yourself very well. Look to the women in your life to point you in the right direction.
Love: With regards to love, the only caution with this Queen is to beware the impulse to be too forceful. We've all been told that we'll get more flies with honey than with vinegar and there's truth to this.

REVERSED QUEEN OF SWORDS
|
When the Queen of Swords is reversed in a Tarot reading, it’s very possible that someone’s actions and thoughts are based on pain.
The Queen of Swords reversed very often can point to a woman in your life. She may not be a kind person and may well have dark hair and/or dark eyes. You will want to stay on her good side if you can. She may block important things from getting accomplished. General: In general, the Reversed Queen of Swords can indicate stumbling blocks; these are most often created by other people besides you but occasionally refers to those which you are creating. Are you shooting yourself in the foot without realizing it? If you don't know, ask someone you trust to be honest with you. Work: The reversed Queen points to communication problems at work, both between people and with things like computers and information being misunderstood or misinterpreted. Take your time, explain yourself thoroughly, and make sure that you are understood and that you have understood instructions and information as best you can. Assumptions can be very problematic now, both in established jobs and when job hunting. Love: With regards to love, the main caution with this reversed Queen of Swords is that your memory of what happened or what was said in a romantic relationship may not be the actual reality of things. Be open to hearing your partner's point of view. If you're looking for love, you'll have to work harder than usual to understand where your prospective partner is coming from. |

Finances: With regard to money, the Queen of Swords reversed can show that communication and data mistakes can impact your financial life now. Check receipts and financial statements carefully. Your bank or a store (or utility) could make an accidental mistake; catching it could save you substantial money.
Health: You need to be vigilant about remembering to take any medication that you are on and this would also be a good time to make sure that women in your life that you care about are doing the same.
If you have concerns about your health or the way your memory is functioning, this is an important time to seek medical attention. Be honest with your health care provider, even about things that may seem small.
