Summary:
This King seems sure of himself. He has knowledge and intellect as his armory. He is highly principled. The King of Swords represents the most powerful energy of this suit, that of using the mind to solve problems, to cut through mental confusion and challenge others with ideas. The King of Swords reminds you that intellectual reasoning is as important in your life right now as your feelings. Synthesize any emotional sensitivity with your current ability to articulate and analyze a situation.

You've put on notice that it may be time to cut away from old ideas and beliefs that have outlived their purpose. However, be fair and logical when making decisions that affect other people. Your sharp intellect cuts to the heart of any matter.

The possibility of choice brings with it great responsibility. We need to bear in mind the consequences of all actions and realize that these affect others, not just ourselves. Others that we do not know, who are far away, but often others whom we love or who are connected to us. This is a heavy burden as there is never a perfect or right choice, but only the choice that we make, full of it all its consequences. A perfect choice does not exist, but we must choose nonetheless.

A decision you have been awaiting will be fair and impartial. An intelligent professional may provide you with sound advice. You are capable of much originality now. You desire to break the mold and free yourself from the restrictions of conventionality. You need to consider whether you are out of touch with your feelings.

The King of Swords is a wise, tough-minded intellectual who thinks truthfully and acts with deliberation. Unfortunately, he may be unable to believe that he could ever be wrong. Being cool and logical, he generally makes fair decisions and renders wise judgments, but he risks being harsh and judgmental. He wields authority, seeking to maintain law and order, and to uphold societal values. Sometimes, however, he loses sight of the spirit of the law in his zeal for upholding the letter of the law.

Logic is a very good thing. However, it may not always be as rigid and as narrow as you'd think. A good mind is flexible, and can bend with the winds of time and react well to whatever comes its way.

I am Coatlique, the Aztec lady of snakes. Honor and respect my will and you will be my most beloved subject. Offend me and disobey and you will be my worst enemy.
