Card 12
Knight of Swords
Description
A knight in full armor, charging on a white horse with his sword held high. Storm clouds behind him, wind in the trees. He doesn't slow down for weather. The Knight of Swords is the moment a decision becomes motion. All speed, all intent, very little looking back.

Upright Meanings
Move. You know what you want, the path is clear enough, and waiting longer doesn't make it clearer. Be direct. Say the thing. Make the call. The card's warning is built into its strength: this kind of speed doesn't account for what it runs over. Pace yourself once you've started.
Reversed Meanings
Two reads. Either all this energy and nowhere to put it. Restless, frustrated, going to burn out. Or you're acting on impulse, charging at everything, finishing nothing. Same engine, different problem. Pick one target. Stay with it long enough for it to count.
Elemental
Air of Air.
