Keywords: action, pursuit, thought, truth, conflict

Upright meaning

Knight of Swords is the seeker's approach — headlong, committed, sometimes rash, in the realm of thought, truth and conflict.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, Knight 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.
