Knight of Swords
arrival, speed, confrontation
A rider sits on horseback with his sword raised, as if arriving at a gallop. This is the card of what bursts in without warning. A person, some news or a problem that shows up suddenly and turns everything upside down. It also speaks of courage and getting straight to the point. Speed can work in your favor as long as you don't let impulsiveness take over.
In love
Someone who storms into your life, or an argument that suddenly blows up. If you're single, an intense attraction that's hard to handle, so go slowly even if they don't.
Career and money
Fast changes, an aggressive rival or an opportunity that needs a response right now. Act, but think twice before you send that message or spend that money.
Health
Rushing, accidents from not paying attention, or stress from always running from one thing to the next. Drive carefully and slow down.
Reversed
Impulsiveness, fights, rash decisions, or a person who leaves your life as quickly as they arrived.
As a person
A young man, determined and a bit abrupt, or someone who arrives from elsewhere. He could be a soldier, a rival or a very loyal defender.
