Knight of Swords

Frequently, this card refers to you, or someone who strongly influences your life in the situation in question, but does not have to be male. The Knight of Swords comes to the fight primed for battle, his sword waving a challenge to all comers. He leads with his sword, then his head, then his heart. The mind of the person in question, like the Knight’s, is swift and requires constant stimulation. The butterfly on his horse is a symbol of his emergence from a chrysalis: he rapidly transforms into the blazing Knight depicted on the card. He makes a powerful impression, appearing suddenly, aggressively...but will his enthusiasm carry him through to the end, and will his high energy last?

Ten of Swords

The swords stuck in the person’s back symbolize failed plans, loss, and defeat, but the sheer number of swords, ten, can indicate over-dramatization of the situation. It probably is not as bad as it seems to the one who is in it. The water is calm, the sky on the horizon is light, and it is the darkest hour that is passing. Soon, the dawn will come, and a new beginning with it, so do not lose hope.

Nine of Swords

The depth of mental anguish felt by the person in the Nine of Swords is beyond description. The carving on the bed shows the violence that led to the current situation, and suggests that someone you love may have been involved in the battle. The swords on the wall indicate that you have not been struck directly at this time. Sleepless nights, anxiety dreams, and worry plague you: note that the person sits up, head in hands, crying alone in bed. This body language epitomizes guilt, depression, and despair. There is a need for comfort, emotional shelter, forgiveness, and healing.
