In a Reading

The King of Swords is a warm, charismatic, charming person who’s thoughts are trusted to few. He is between appreciation of the beauty of thought and the most active state of mind. He listens, learning many things – revealing nothing; someone who’s made discretion a vice. When he speaks, his words are chosen wisely.

A master of concepts and ideas, he employs skillful negotiation and diplomacy, preferring to use his wit to win his objectives. He knows some battles are not worth wining, quietly walking away from untenable positions. If you  ride with this King you may conquer many lands without ever having drawn a sword.

Less favorably, since those represented by this Arcanum don’t give their trust easily, they are deeply offended by betrayal of their trust. A close friend or viable colleague may be regrettable lost this way.

The King of Swords advises us to be adept, articulate,  considerate, to use our words  strategically to affect change. To let one’s mind govern one’s tongue, to listen more often than we talk, to be loyal but to walk away from dysfunction.

Multiple Kings in a Spread: 3 Kings mean recognition for your accomplishments or awarded. 4 Kings indicate a meeting with someone of great importance.
