Queen of Swords
You may have to make a decision today that is based on logic and principle rather than intuition.
The Queen of Swords is all about cutting through the confusion and uncertainty that separates wants from needs. It may be a matter of putting something you’ve wanted to rest — in the spirit of accepting that it’s just not good for you.
Or it could be as simple as speaking the truth, knowing that you’d only be hurting yourself otherwise.
In this deck we see a dark and somewhat sinister looking Queen. She stands before a marble throne, her loyal hand-maidens at her sides.
Her surroundings are minimal — aside from the throne we see only a gold crown that is painted on the wall. She doesn’t need to wear a crown: everyone know’s she’s Queen.
This Queen is pale, stoic and quite beautiful — perhaps dangerously beautiful. Look at the size of her sword! As swords stand for ideas, intellect and mental acuity, we can surmise that she’s highly intelligent.
She doesn’t mince words. When she speaks she chooses her words wisely and they may be biting. But she’s also fair, impartial and objective.
If this is a person in your life you’d be wise to listen to what she says. She may not cushion her words with compassion, but she will always tell the truth. if this is not someone presently in your life, perhaps it’s time to listen to your own inner voice. There’s a great deal of wisdom that can be amassed, if you’re brave enough to trust in it.
The card used for today’s tarotscope — Queen of Swords — is part of the Secret Tarot series, by Italian Artist Marco Nizzoli, who also gave us the Dream Enchantress Tarot. This is a Lo Scarabeo deck published by Llewellyn.

This Queen can also walk a lonely path. She doesn’t suffer fools gladly, doesn’t play along with facades or half truths and can sometimes be thought of as bitter. I see her more ‘free of BS’ and many people don’t know how to handle that and are intimidated by her ability to see through them and their deceptions. They then become defensive and think she is attacking them, when all she is really doing is cutting to the heart of the matter with that huge Sword. 🙂
That is so perfect especially for this deck. The artist really captured the solitude and bitterness so well. I feel she has impossible standards — which is one reason she’s alone!
