Meaning of Knight of Swords
The Knight of Swords charges at full speed, sword raised, without looking back. It is the charge of air: pure action, ambition and determination. It announces that you are moving forward decisively toward your goal, but warns that haste without strategy can run over you.
“I move forward with determination, but I think before I charge.”
