Knight of Swords

Swords

Essence

I am the knight who charges through the storm. In my image, I ride at full gallop, sword raised, horse's mane and my cape streaming behind. The sky is torn with clouds and wind. Birds struggle against the gale. I do not slow for weather or warning. I have a goal, and I will reach it. Obstacles are meant to be cut through.

Upright

Themes: Action, ambition, determination, speed, conflict, cutting through obstacles, single-minded pursuit, charging ahead.

I speak with the voice of unstoppable determination. I am about action, ambition, charging toward your goal. When I appear, I announce that it's time to move fast and cut through delays. Analysis is done. The charge begins. But I also warn: speed has costs. What you rush past matters. Sometimes the storm you charge into is one you created. **Themes:** Action, ambition, determination, speed, conflict, cutting through obstacles, single-minded pursuit, charging ahead.

Reversed

Themes: Recklessness, aggression, no direction, burnout, arguments, rushed decisions, force without purpose.

I speak of force misdirected or speed that crashes. Either you're charging without direction, all aggression and no strategy, or you've been stopped cold and your momentum lost. My reversed message asks: do you know what you're charging toward? Or are you just running? **Themes:** Recklessness, aggression, no direction, burnout, arguments, rushed decisions, force without purpose.
