The Knight of
Swords
When the Knight of Swords comes up to indicate a
man, he will be intelligent, subtle and clever.
His capacity for abstract thought will be well
developed. He is also highly intuitive and
perceptive.
His nature will be elusive and ethereal, yet he
has a strength and fascination that is hard to
deny. He compels attention, except when he
doesn't want it, and at those times you will not
even notice him pass by.
Because of the enquiring and analytic nature of
his mind, you will often find him involved in
occult study, and following spiritual pursuits.
Whilst tolerant of those who know less than him,
he will not divulge his knowledge easily. Rather
those who wish to learn from him must fight to
see him clearly, rather than falling for the
projections he readily casts around him.
If this man is badly dignified his subtlety
turns to manipulation, and his fascination to
glamour. In this way, he becomes unprincipled
and self-seeking. There is a certain
ruthlessness present in the Knight of Swords at
all times.
Even when we meet him at his best, he makes a
hard task master, and an acutely keen observer.
The sword in his hand will quite often be used
to cut to the heart of things - and sometimes we
will not be comfortable with what is revealed.
When this card comes up to indicate a state of
mind in a man not normally seen as a Knight of
Swords, we are then dealing with quite another
issue. Now we must address the darkest qualities
of the card. This is an angry man, who has quite
possibly been emotionally hurt, and may well be
looking for revenge.
He has the potential to be physically violent
and mentally cruel. He is a nasty enemy and
somebody who needs to be treated with the utmost
caution.
Working with the Knight of Swords
This card brings in a swift, bright energy which
clears our heads, allowing us to see right the
way to the heart of things, undistracted by
clutter or red herrings. Here we can ‘cut to the
chase’ so to speak, avoiding any of the
tempting, but wasteful, side issues that may
come up around important issues.
If you flow well with this energy, you’ll
finding yourself thinking quickly and clearly,
finding unexpected solutions to apparently
intractable problems. Matters which had, until
now, refused to yield their solutions, will
suddenly start willingly spitting them out, so
you can clear several obstacles from your path
on a day ruled by the Knight of Swords.
Intuition plays quite a strong role here, too,
as you move into closer touch with your psychic
ability, thereby accessing answers to awkward
questions which you had before felt frustrated
by.
Accordingly, on a day ruled by the Knight of
Swords, pick out the things which have been
giving you headaches in the last little while.
Spend a little time (not too much) considering
the apparent obstacles and difficulties of the
problem. Then forget it! At some point during
the day, a solution should quite simply pop into
your head. Also keep a close watch on your
dreams overnight - these may contain the answers
you seek. You can probably get away with dealing
with two medium serious problems - but if you
have one BIG one, only concentrate on that.
Also be alert to messages and hints coming
through the normal patterns of life. Sometimes
you’ll get explanations from the most unexpected
sources.
Affirmation: Every problem contains the seed of
its own resolution.
