Behind the armor of protection, he is shielded by his metal helmet hiding his real thoughts.

The Knight of Swords is a formidable figure, much like a powerful warrior with his sword poised to strike. He is a force of action, cutting through any obstacles or delays and making progress quickly. His energy is intense and focused, never wavering from the path he has chosen.

The Knight of Swords is depicted in my Moondust Tarot Card above by a Knight who is galloping on his mighty steed across open country, perhaps on a mission of romantic chivalry. There are clouds in the sky, symbolic of trouble ahead, but he pays them no mind. The Venusian Cypress Trees are blowing in the Wind, motivating him to pursue his heart’s desire at any cost. The butterflies depicted in the card are symbols of the brave soul that drives him to ride on. 

The Knight Of Swords views the world as a place of honor and courage. In his pursuit of integrity while he stands steadfast on the earth emersed in his convictions. Life is a battle, but he believes it should be fought with gallantry and respect for all living things. Knights see the world like chessboards, dealing with every situation thoughtfully, patiently, and strategically. While he knows that life is unpredictable, he has faith in his own intuition and the power of resilience will get him through. Knights in tarot teach life lessons such as never giving up, honoring your commitments, and valuing loyalty above all else. He can move through life with greater awareness and appreciation if he lives with these values at the forefront of his mind. Despite the odds, a knight's greatest strength is his ability to strive for the best.
 
The Knight of Swords views the world as an exciting challenge and embraces it with enthusiasm and integrity. Each problem in life is viewed as a game requiring careful consideration before the next move. He understands the importance of loyalty and resilience. To achieve this, he never gives up or fails to honor his commitments in an effort to be the best version of himself. The greatest strength of the Knight of Swords is his unwavering commitment to integrity, bravery, and chivalry. Taking risks, staying true to yourself, and never giving up are all lessons learned from the knight metaphor.

We can all learn from our successes and failures and the Knight of Swords serves as a reminder that all of us are capable of great things if we never give up.

When the Knight of Swords blesses your reading, you must take some time to brainstorm for yourself some new thoughts that will better your life experience, and you must do so without scalding yourself in the process. This should be a free-flowing experience. You have an eagerness to be everything all at once, but part of the lesson of the Knight is that that is not possible. You must take it all one step at a time. The Knight is helping you to move faster, but this should not be confused with instant gratification. You must focus all of your attention on making your point, speaking out, and expressing your emotions to others clearly and honestly.

The Knight of Swords in Love

Metal armor acts like a fortress, protecting the Knight Of Swords from the perils of emotion. Metal's strength prevents emotions from entering and wreaking havoc inside, despite feelings and love battering at its walls. Despite bending and denting under pressure, it will never break completely and let emotional turmoil overwhelm the Knight. He is protected with this armor, preserving his mental health and well-being in the process. Whatever emotions you feel, this metal barrier will remain strong and unflinching.

Being his raging figure it is hard to cut your way through. Through his eye slits, he builds a wall of protection around himself, which prevents others from really connecting with him. As well as being emotionally distant and unapproachable, he may seem unworthy of close relationships. It may also be difficult for him as he is "armored" to express his feelings or be vulnerable around others, further offending them. Developing strong relationships with someone who is "armored" can take time and patience. A rewarding relationship can flourish once these walls are broken down and true connections are made. Everyone has a unique set of experiences and coping mechanisms, so it is important to remember that. A person who is "armored" may have had a difficult or traumatic past.

In love, if the querent is not represented by the Knight then it is likely that someone who has all of the attributes of the Knight of Swords is going to be showing up in your life. This could be an excellent time for a romantic partnership, as being with this person will take you to new heights emotionally and romantically. There is someone who romantically favors you at this time. Be open to new possibilities. There is a level of romance and chivalry around you now, and this experience is one that everyone should take some time to be comfortable with. You are going to have fun.

Swords are the suit of messages, communications, and the mind. Often, I find this card represents mind games. If this is a loving outcome then his talk is a clever one, attractive, and witty but also intense. This is saying your “minds” have engaged before anything physical. Since this is an “outcome” card in the spread it can mean that something like a tornado hit the situation. The knight does suggest that even though this is a card of movement there is a focus on lust rather than love. It can also mean you are both or one of you is jumping to a conclusion without thinking about the evidence. There is lots of energy in the card and someone trying to rescue the situation. The Knight of Swords is not one to stick about. They will rush into love, cause havoc, turn everything upside down then rush out. They may want to date but not for the long haul.

The Knight of Swords As Feelings

In terms of feelings, this card represents a whirlwind romance and someone else feelings - possibly you or someone else is feeling rather angry about the situation. It can mean someone wants to move the relationship on but there are so many blocks. The transgressed chivalry of having an adulterous “hook up” is sometimes seen in this knight. In terms of being a knight, they are normally untamed and just not showing any emotion. This is also a card of regret. What is it that someone regrets about this relationship? 

The Knight of Swords is not interested in your feelings being hurt. He is a sword, immature, and does not care too much about feelings. You see, having emotions keep you being the “man” and "tough". He does not care or pay attention to who he cuts off in life. This person does not care about your feelings or if you are crying (sorry to say!). They only care about what they want from life. This also demonstrates feelings of being “hot” and “cold” regarding the relationship. 

Also, this card is all about considering the ramifications of acting before thinking. What have they done wrong? They also feel they need to act like the Knight of Swords to get a reaction out of you, almost like being cruel and ridiculing you. They can change their mind in a heartbeat too. 

The Knight of Swords Love Reconciliation

This Knight approaches love reconciliation with patience and understanding. You may be waiting for that phone to ring or text to hit you up. The Knight reminds themselves of their own code of honor, and often balance the feelings of you both. Rather than fueling further conflict, knights strive to go silent and not seek immediate resolution to tense situations. They understand that love is precious and fragile - and should not be taken lightly.
 
In times of crisis or confusion, he is drawn to justice and fairness. In the face of adversity, his ability to remain level-headed is truly inspirational, making them an invaluable asset. The Knight of Swords are great fighters, this is because they are fantastic communicators. If this card comes up as love reconciliation it means moving with haste but it is also a sign someone has treated you poorly. They have not thought about their actions until after things had happened. If this is a question about maintaining a relationship then this is not positive. It can mean there is conflict and it is not time to focus on feelings of the heart. In the words of Kipling, “he travels fastest who travels alone.” If you have split up recently, this card tells you to remain detached and wait to get back together. Being the “winner” is really important and this is creating problems with getting back together.

Knight of Swords As Action

In an action position, the Knight of Swords advocates swift involvement. They do not wait or hope that something happens. They cut through indecision and this card encourages one to seek the truth. If you want to confront someone this is exactly what the knight suggests to do. Swords are connected to trouble but also communication.

On the contrary, you must push yourself to get the answers that you seek. Not knowing is worse than knowing. When you understand what is going on in your body, you can then pursue a solution. If you allow your thoughts to run rampant because you are afraid, you are likely to make matters much worse for yourself.

For the knight, money and career are like two sides of the same coin: one can bring great wealth and stability, while the other can bring worry due to that uncertainty. In order to reach his destination, the knight must make wise decisions about how to manage and balance both these forces. Remember, he has done astonishing things on that battlefield, as the seasons change so do the hues of the forest and heaths and this newness can bring a new beauty. Even if he takes a calculated risk now and then, he must ultimately be prepared for anything the road may throw at him.
 

As knights must find a balance between their goals and the paths they take to achieve them, their path is often filled with barriers which is why he does not speak much. The act of moving forward alone isn't enough; each step must be taken thoughtfully and with purpose. Thus, the knight's journey represents how life should be lived: with courage, resilience, and striving for something greater.

The Knight of Swords As A Person

The Knight is representative of a dark-haired brown-eyed young man or woman. Not young our youthful like the Page, but youthful in the sense that they are capable of experiencing the great newness and challenges of life head-on without the scrutinizing energies of someone who has been on this Earth for a bit longer. At points, this kind of youth may be domineering, but that is because he has a clean heart and just knows that what he is doing is right. The courage that moves him is pure. Remember, as knights on quests gallop across the land on their noble steed, adorned in shining armor, searching for answers, they are a sight to behold. As they travel, they meet many people - some good, some bad, but all teaching them something new about themselves and the world around them.
 

Knights are determined to reach their destination, no matter what obstacles stand in their way.

High Priestess Tarot Card Meaning

The high priestess is the ultimate symbol of balance and manifestation. She is the card of secrets and affairs. If you receive the High Priestess in your reading then the time has come for you to understand the balance necessary to get what you want out of life. She is the mystery of the mother, of the moon and of life. The High Priestess is a guiding card, telling you that right now you are on a path of enlightenment. It can represent multiple aspects of your life showing a true understanding of your own wants and needs. Now is the time to follow on your instincts and trust that internal feeling. You know you better than anyone else and that means that you also know what is best for you. It is okay to seek counsel or advice from others but make sure that their wants for you are not overshadowing what your own heart tells you.

In my tarot card above, her blond hair cascades like a waterfall of gold, She looks like an ancient goddess so bold. Long eyelashes flutter in the night air. Like, Isis,the greek goddess of magic and rebirth she keeps secrets in the cycles the moon above her head. Her beauty is so captivating, her words intricate and wise, she is an enigma. My queen of the night sky, my vision that will never fade, my unattainable dream, she tells me to wait. So I do.
 

The deeper meaning of the High Priestess card is strong as sits in between two stone stone pillars symbolic of the negative life force) and symbolic of positive life force -- and this balances the two. On her lap which is not visible on my tarot card is the Torah which means ‘Divine Law,’ something that isn’t meant for all to see. When you receive the High Priestess, you can expect the question to be shrouded in a great mystery that can be attainable if you allow yourself to practice listening to your intuition. The High Priestess can be a great ally in discovery for she is connected with the moon (evidenced by the Moon Crown on her head) which is often shrouded in illusion and mystery making it difficult for us to see straight. Often times this card will come up when one is trying to understand a situation that is convoluted. You can ask the High Priestess for help and then practice listening for her advice.

Listening for spiritually intuitive advice allows for communication with your consciousness and the world of pure experience. One must find time to quiet the mind and have patience as well as trust that the process will help you and then the truth will come over you like a sun rising over the horizon. This may take some time to perfect, as it is a practice like anything else, but the High Priestess is the manifestation of the desires of the Magician. She is the connecting force between the heavens and the Earth. Depend on her to bless your Will. Here is a tarot poem I have written about my card above, take in the words in order to understand the meaning.

The High Priestess in Love

The pomegranates behind the High Priestess are symbolic of feminine energy and the palm leaves are symbolic of masculine energy, thus also making her the ‘go to’ energy to acquire assistance in understanding the energies in all of us that are masculine as well as feminine. This helps a lot when it comes to relationships. The High Priestess shows up in a similar light to that of the Moon card when it comes to Love and Relationships. Love is a mystery. Each person experiences it differently. When the High Priestess shows up in relation to a reading on love one must accept the possibility that not all is being seen appropriately in the relationship or the pursuit of acquiring one. She helps solve issues where there is a disagreement between partners, she assists by providing intuition that enables partners to communicate and get to the center of the issue. The key always with the High Priestess is to know that she has something to tell you which is very important, that you will not understand without her assistance and then make sure to listen. In matters of the heart this is doubly important. To find out more about the high priestess in love readings click here

Warning: She Is The Affair Card

A note of warning with the High Priestess is that she can also be guiding you to seek out the truth in a relationship. If you have concern in your relationship it is exceptionally important to follow your instincts, but to do so in a way that is not a detriment to you or the relationship. Just because you have a feeling of insecurity does not mean that your partner is cheating on you. Often we are sensitive to specific issues but the situation is not as dire as it seems. Take advice from surrounding cards to get a clear idea of what is going on in love before acting or jumping to conclusions.

Depending on the love reading, I sometimes call this card “the Inappropriate affair warning” card. To me, this card represents a passionate relationship but sometimes morally “wrong” relationship. Think of: your best friend's husband, that married guy next door, or the old Manager you worked with. 

Maybe the inadequacy of this lover is simply more about wanting someone to be more than they can be, emotional-availability wise. When we are afraid of intimacy, we may choose Mr. or Ms. emotionally unavailable. If the focus of our affection is an emotional wall, we can fling ourselves against that wall in blissful passion and desire that we have never felt before, without ever having to face the prospect that a boring relationship is on the cards. 

The High Priestess As Feelings

Despite being an elegant lady, she holds all her cards close to her chest. When asking about feelings, this card has this energy. The feelings can get lost in the dark with her, secret passages, not replying to texts and locked diaries. When things go wrong for her, she asks "who's fault is this?". Her true feelings are hidden from you. When you ask the tarot cards "what he feels about you", he stays silent. In his mind, he likely feels that he wants to "tilt" the balance in some way, and that he knows what you are thinking from his inner knowing and psychic understanding. 

In many ways this card represents the feelings of a platonic relationship but also that the potential lover is willing to explore that beyond the friendship realms. The high priestess is in charge, but her feelings fluctuate, as if in a cycle. Like the moon phases, or seasons. A reversed high priestess for feelings is linked to Isis (the Virgin) and can show that self-sacrifice is coming.

The High Priestess As Love Reconciliation

It is common, very common to worry about if someone feels the same way about us -- for a human being to feel this way, we often find ourselves re-visiting this state frequently. The High Priestess, on my tarot card is surrounded by blond hair wearing a moon crown, which is the symbol of insight and knowledge. Almost every smart person will know that we cannot force someone to do something we want. It can feel like your insides are being ripped out when our lover leaves. In drawing her, keep in mind that she is the teacher of both spiritual and physical mysteries. This image above is a representation of the journey of life and love experienced by people in tarot readings. It indicates that there is more to your life than meets the eye - it's time to dig deeper. This figure symbolizes the wisdom of knowing when to keep your feelings close while still maintaining a connection between two people. It's a reminder that sharing your innermost thoughts and emotions with someone can sometimes be hard, but that's part of what makes a relationship strong. She also stresses the importance of tolerance, comprehension, and receptivity - all of which are crucial aspects if you want to shack up with this person again.  Maybe --- just maybe you will get back together with someone after a separation or break up. The reason I mention this is because the high priestess knows about secrets --- and hardships when it comes to love but chooses to hide emotions. So thank your lucky stars she has appeared, because there is still a possibility that this love will return unexpectedly.

The High Priestess in Health

The High Priestess appears when it is necessary to focus on matters such as reproductive health. Due to her balancing abilities, she can be an excellent patron helper for birth control, or producing the proper reproductive hormones, balancing estrogen and testosterone. If there is confusion within this section of the body, ask the High Priestess for help to remove the shadows that darken that area so that the trouble can be brought to light.

The High Priestess helps in matters of business and wealth in the sense that if you are about to get into a business with someone else, or are going through legal issues; she will help you to shed light on all that you are not aware of. This could mean paperwork that you need to sign that you weren’t aware of will come up, or the proper assistance to get your business up and running will just show up. Expect clarity and certainty in matters of business. The High Priestess clears out the sullied waters so that they shine with the vision of your future.

I feel that the High Priestess represents a “Yes” answer upright. Whenever I need a straight answer, I've always trusted this card when it has appeared in my reading.

I find myself expecting her to appear for advice on anything from small decisions to big ones, somehow transferring energy from her blank canvas to mine. Whenever I need guidance...or at least someone to lean on when I feel uncertain, she has become a kind of omniscient character in my tarot readings and shines through. To find out more about the high priestess in love readings click here

When you receive the High Priestess in the reversed position, this is symbolic that you are completely detached from your intuition.

The best advice that the High Priestess in Reverse has to offer is that it is time to open up your chakras and allow the spirit to move through you. Meditate, meditate, meditate!

Love and Romance - The High Priestess Reversed

Attraction is set to a high heat, but like flying too close to the sun, this lust comes with its own complications. Are the actions of your partner or a love interest hard to understand? It can seem that the motivations of others are unclear to you, like you’re seeing everything through a veil – leaving you feeling frustrated. You must practice extra consideration in such a moment as this, and don’t let any increased romantic attention distract you from thinking things through. If you meditate on the situation before, it is like planning your route before and adventure, everything goes more smoothly and makes the journey more enjoyable. It also means taking the time to forgive people where necessary - it is always better to forgive and forget than let yourself become bitter with resentment. All in all, the reversed priestess tells you to tread carefully in the romance department; don’t let impulses make big decisions for you. 

Family and Home - The High Priestess Reversed

Every family and home can swerve off-kilter at times, even the best holiday location must weather the occasional storm. When the High Priestess reversed appears in this type of reading it can highlight an undercurrent of discontentment within the family home. It may be that you, or someone else in the family, hasn’t been themselves recently. You should be wary of outside influences impacting the family dynamic – what’s haunting your family? Perhaps bickering and minor disagreements are making the home feel like a hostile place. You can try and placate the situation by taking time out to think things over and putting in place new boundaries that avoid conflict and make everybody feel comfortable; when you’re all ease, harmony will naturally restore like calm after the storm.

Work and Finances - The High Priestess Reversed

While you fix your eyes on the horizon, scheming and secrecy unravels behind your back. Could there be a double agent or a trickster in your midst? Be extra vigilant with your finances and be sure that no one is being deceitful in your place of work. If you are currently considering making a big financial commitment, such as buying a home or going on holiday, make sure you have full clarity and disclosure before proceeding. Verifiable information is the best way to avoid any suspicious activity that might be going on behind your back at present. If you are, yourself, acting in a shady manner at work - you should watch your step. Someone may be savvy to your secrets. The best route forward for you now is honesty and transparency, the priestess reminds you that honesty is truly the best policy.

Health and Wellness - The High Priestess Reversed

The picture is in front of you, but shapes are obscured – like looking at the sky without a telescope, you’re lacking detail and clarity in the picture of your health. Now may be the time to book in a check-up and look for signs of anything that feels different or unusual. If you have already had a medical check-up recently you should seek a second opinion, this reversed card suspects everything isn’t as it seems. Do not panic, but remember that sometimes even small things are best addressed early. 

Don’t forget wellness extends to your mental state too - if you’ve been dealing with repressed emotions now may be the time to seek out a therapist to work through these feelings, like changing your bedsheets, it will make you feel better. Working through your old problems will make you feel better and help you move forward with your life. And, don’t forget, you should always supplement any medical and mental attention you receive with a healthy lifestyle to maximize its positive impact – like taking vitamins to enhance your diet. 

The High Priestess Reversed - Personal Spirituality

I always find that when the card comes out for our own personal growth or spirituality then something is blocked. This is likely unintentional, perhaps you have become wrapped up in daily life and have been missing the signals? This card, is urging you to pay extra attention to messages from your subconscious, they may come in the form of dreams or stray thoughts - your angels are probably trying to tell you something, you simply need to listen.
