The Symbolism of the Knight of Swords Tarot Card
This card is represented by a well-appointed young knight seated upon a grey horse. This horse is moving with much speed through a mountainous region. The sky is blue, but streaked with white clouds. These are not the whimsical clouds seen in the Page of Swords, but harsh and jagged, perhaps a sign of the impatience of youth.
The General Interpretation of the Knight of Swords Card
When appearing in a spread, this card implies brave new visions and ideas. However powerful and beautiful these visions may be, there is some foolishness to them, as they are not completely realistic. The person who draws this card is warned not to be foolish, to stop and truly consider what they want in life, and what they can realistically do to get it. Visions and ideas are wonderful, but only if they can eventually come to fruition.
The Inner Meaning of the Knight of Swords in Tarot
The Knight of Swords is the image of an impatient youth. As a court card, it may represent either an actual person or a situation; often, this card represents both at the same time. As a person, it may be a youth or young adult who is impetuous and impatient, unwilling to wait for what he wishes to accomplish. He wants what he wants, and he wants it now.
This young man is confident and very articulate, as well as highly intelligent, but he is also sometimes foolish. He rushes in when he should wait and evaluate the situation. This can cause him to act before he’s truly thought things through.
As a situation, the Knight of Swords is an indication of a time when rushing into something may indeed be foolish. It is a warning that the individual who draws this card should look before they leap, think about what is to be done before actually doing it. The Knight of Swords rewards those who take a moment to consider the possible ramifications of their actions.
The Queen of Swords follows this card. The Knight of Swords is the second court card of the Suit of Swords.
