One of the Minor Arcana from the Suit of Swords in the Tarot, the Knight of Swords in an upright position in an upright position is aligned to the energies of ambition, a drive for success, and fast thinking. In the reversed position it is aligned to the energies of being burnt out, ending up being restless, and an unfocused nature.
Overall, the Knight of Swords tends to focus on either on the actions of the querent or even represent a particular person who has a rather rush-about nature who wants to get things done quickly. As a result, actions may not have the result desired due to the rather brash nature attached to them. Indicative of burn out, this card highlights a need to slow down and think things through even though life is going about at a rapid pace.
