The Knight of Swords card suggests that my power today lies in change. I am quick, sharp, and ready for assertive, revolutionary or affirmative action. I overcome obstacles or resolve conflict by getting right to the point, cutting to the chase or confronting challenges head on -- even if this means going against the grain. My communication, style or expectation is on the cutting edge and relies on reason, design, the latest craze or facts. It is my honor to protect and defend my perception of truth. I measure twice and cut once. I am empowered by expectation or duty and my virtue is commitment to the greater good.

The Knight of Swords card suggests that radical change is in the wind, and the resulting storm may be unavoidable. Take the direct approach and channel the influence of this Knight for gaining the advantage. When confronting obstacles or turbulence within your relationship, be on your guard and have a back-up plan or an exit strategy, particularly if you are facing competition or an imminent divorce or separation. Rely on reason and authority. Don't surrender to emotional tirades or hasty decisions that you could come to regret. Try to avoid a tendency to be overly assertive. It may intimidate a current partner or it might scare away any prospective love connections. Learn to make room for human frailty and forgiveness, for this situation may not be anything personal. To debase your relationship with insults can end up coming back to hurt you.
