Knight of Swords

The Card: He charges ahead in full armour, with a raised sword, pushing his mount. The harness of the Horse is decorated with both Birds, Butterflies and Hearts. The sky is blue but the clouds are ragged, and the trees are leaning.

Interpretation: Our knight is attacking someone or something, his gaze is set on whatever it is. He is in the middle of a storm, perhaps both as wind and a race of his mind. Not only is he carrying a spike, the sword, but also his armour is spiked, especially the boots, a man hard to get close to. His attire has a lot of red, the colour of emotion, and blood which can come from a fight. But red is also symbolises the heart and love. His horse is carrying him towards love and connection to the heart, even though he may be unaware. And not only that, the horse is also adorned with butterflies, symbol of transformation, lightness and joy. Not exactly his present mindset, but it lies ahead.

Prediction: I am caught up in strife and emotion, unapproachable and fierce. My mind is bend on something. But events are in motion which will cause me to change, I am carried towards change

Keywords: Strife, emotion, relentlessness, journey towards change, getting experience.
