Queen of Swords
- clarity
- honesty
- independence
- boundaries
Upright
The Queen of Swords sees clearly and speaks plainly. She has lived enough not to be fooled, and her honesty is a form of care. In your question, she asks you to set boundaries, say what needs saying and trust your judgement. Clarity may be the kindest thing you have to give.
Reversed
Sharpness has turned into coldness. Perhaps you guard yourself so fiercely against being hurt again that you shut out even those who wish you well, or your self-criticism has become merciless. The Queen of Swords reversed asks you to soften a little. Honesty does not have to be harsh to be true.
