Meaning of the Knight of Swords in a Reading
The Knights in the Tarot Cards are often younger people in our lives, from the ages of 18 to about 30. Due to their age, Knights can be quite impulsive and reckless in many ways, although their enthusiasm is contagious. Getting many Knights in a reading, a Celtic Cross Spread, for example, may show that we are surrounded by these young, reckless, exciting types of people.
The Knight of Swords will likely be someone who is, in astrology, one of the Air signs – Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. They could also display typical qualities of these signs, such as intelligence, knowledge, and be great with ideas and communication. The Suit of Swords is associated with the element of air, and hence is all to do with the mind and the intellect.
We ourselves may embody this energy, yet whether it’s us or someone else, we do have to be careful. Passion for knowledge may be reckless, argumentative, or taken as opinionated. It is important to rein our ideas in at times and try to approach things a little more patiently.
