Knight of Swords

"I loved watching the base of those thunderstorms, the billowing tops of the cumulonimbus, the lightning that effortlessly lit up the lake and the sky. It was gorgeous, so energetic. I was in love." - Ginger Zee

Element of air power: When we are driven and obsessed by a certain idea and strongly wish to manifest it, we are oftentimes so blinded by the actual desire for its fulfillment that we fail to note the difficulties which we may come across, or the actions and consequences that it could bring.


The Knight of Swords is a very powerful figure that is full of life as well as energy. This energy needs to be balanced with a proper and actual realization of compassion and responsibility. Once the Knight sets forth towards his goals, there is absolutely no stopping him. He does not always see and care about any upcoming challenges. The Knight of Swords is filled with sheer ambition, strength and determination to succeed with the quest and he may be incredibly impatient.

The Knight of Swords finds it particularly difficult to commit to a partnership. He requires a lot of intellectual stimulation, and without it, can quickly become bored. He can also be someone that finds it difficult to become too emotionally intimate with another person. Like this Knight, when you combine your lofty ambitions with your determination and almost singular focus, you’re sure to get what you want. Nothing quite scares you off when it comes to your job.

At times of imbalance: Though sheer determination could blind the Knight from seeing the potential consequences of his actions towards not only himself but to others as he powers his way to success, he may charge forth into a very dangerous territory without preparation or actual foresight. His incredible impulsiveness alongside his bursting energy could lead him to unforeseen dangers.

Since this Knight of Swords lacks any kind of direction for expending his excessive energy, it often results in making rather rash decisions and pulling down other people with him. HIs thoughts are scattered throughout without any actual organization or logic. This disorganization leaves him unprepared for the things that he actually wants to achieve.

The appearance of the Knight of Swords could also indicate that you still have a lot of miles to walk in order to get the valuable life experience that you need in order to overcome adversities along the way.


Mantra: I am grounded.
