Keywords: authority, mastery, thought, truth, conflict

Upright meaning

King of Swords is the mature outward approach — commanding it, and answerable for it, in the realm of thought, truth and conflict.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, King of Swords turns that reading inward or awry: clarity clouded, or intellect used as a weapon. Read it as the same stage under strain — delayed, resisted, or overdone rather than simply cancelled.
