Knight of Swords

Knight of Swords tarot card
1He’s charging at full speed, and I usually think he’s being too quick.
2Look at which way he faces in your spread. He’s nearly always running toward the past.
3He gets to the next card and then runs away from it.
The Running Toward the Past CardHe gets to the thing he wanted, gets nervous, and bolts.
  • Moving too fast
  • Running toward the past
  • Leaving before you have it
In a reading

Slow down. And check which way he’s facing in your spread, because that’s usually where he’s headed.

Deeper meaning

He’s always running toward the past

Normally I don’t like the Knight of Swords, because he’s being too quick. The thing I do with this card that other people don’t is read him by which way he’s facing on the table. He’s nearly always running toward the past in a reading. The story I get is that he reaches the thing he wanted, gets nervous, and bolts, so it becomes running away from something before you even have it. Look at which card he’s pointed at in your spread, because the direction tells you more here than the meaning does. In the good stuff he inverts completely and becomes charging toward success. Same speed, better direction.

In the good stuff

Same speed, better direction. Charging toward success instead of away from it.
