Meaning
When the King of Swords Tarot card arrives in your reading, it could mean that you will have an interaction with a lawyer or police officer, or even just someone else in authority today. Be careful about speeding today! This card also sometimes says that a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius is about to appear in your day.
The King of Swords is not a bad guy. He is very intelligent, has very high integrity, and always seeks the truth. If you have a problem with him, your authenticity may need to be checked. Don’t be taken aback if he comes without a hug. He means well. He just doesn’t show it the same way everyone else does.
Symbolism
With the King of Swords Tarot card, we see a man on a throne with an expressionless face, keeping a watchful eye over the land. Swords represent Air signs; thus, this card could be telling you a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius is in the picture but is often an Aquarius. In other instances, it could be someone with a lay or the law of the land, such as lawyers, law enforcement, or some other figure of authority.
This card brings the message that structure, order, and following rules and protocol are required in the situation. If it’s an emotional situation, take the emotion out of it and be realistic and rational when making any decisions.
