King of Swords
justice, authority, law
A crowned king holds his straight sword firmly. In the Spanish deck this is the card of justice, court cases, official paperwork and authorities. It announces that something will be settled legally or by the rules. It asks for a cool head, order and well-thought-out decisions. If you have paperwork, a lawsuit or a dispute pending, now is the time to move it forward with solid arguments.
In love
A serious but somewhat cold relationship, or a separation settled with paperwork and lawyers. If you're single, someone mature and upright, but not very romantic.

A court case, a contract, an inspection or a very strict boss. Get everything in writing and keep it safe. Legal matters go well as long as they're in order.
Health
A good doctor or a clear, reliable diagnosis. Follow the instructions to the letter, and don't improvise with your treatment.
Reversed
Injustice, abuse of power, a court case that goes wrong, or someone in authority who acts harshly.
As a person
A mature man with authority, like a lawyer, a judge, a doctor or a military officer. Cold and demanding, but fair if you give him reason to be.
