Queen of Swords
Decisions that you make today will require you to use intellect and logic rather than emotions and intuition.
The Queen of Swords signals a need for discipline. Whether you’re acting in this capacity or dealing with someone who embodies these qualities — like authority, self-reliance and impartiality — today you will need to rise to the occasion.
The Queen of Swords in most decks can be rather cold and austere. She can be critical and judgmental, detached from her emotions and unwilling to compromise her convictions. But this version emphasizes wisdom and maturity.
Notice the silver hair and tattered robes. She’s not here to impress anybody. She knows who she is and is comfortable in her own skin. She doesn’t wield her sword like a weapon; she caresses it comfortably, just as her bare feet keep her grounded and rooted to the earth.
She may be a woman in your life: if so consider that you can count on her to tell you the truth. She’s got high standards and impeccable ethics, which she didn’t acquire by marching to the beat of anyone else’s drum.
Perhaps this is someone whose courage and strength you admire: an older woman, a widow often, someone who has weathered her share of disappointments and still holds her head high.
Or perhaps these are qualities that you need to embrace yourself. The Queen of Swords — like all court cards — can appear as frame of mind or set of attitudes that are necessary for dealing with a particular set of circumstances.
If you find yourself in the position of having to step up to the plate today — on the job, in your relationships, or dealing with friends and family members — take a leaf out of this wise and practical Queen’s book. You don’t need to raise your Sword (or your voice) to get your point across. Your inner strength and wisdom will do the job just as effectively.
