The meanings of the Knight of swords map at the place
The Tarot Knight of Swords at the right place represents a character arrogant.
One could say that among the cards dressed up in the Tarot de Marseille, he is undoubtedly the most carried away and least thoughtful character of all. He is certainly obsessed by an idea. This horseman has only one desire, it is to achieve what obsesses him.
This character is often blind. He will go ahead without looking at the consequences of his actions, or even judging the difficulties he may encounter. The main thing for him is to go for it.
The Knight of Swords is a steamroller.
The Tarot Sword Jumper is a character carried away full of energy, full of life. But He has no idea what the responsibilities are. He also lacks compassion for others or empathy.
A very assertive character
Once he has set his sights on an idea, nothing and no one can stop him. The Tarot Sword Knight has no feelings. He has no emotions. All he thinks about is moving forward. Nor does he see the risks or dangers. The only thing that moves him and interests him is to move towards his goal and succeed and win. No matter the battle, no matter the consequences, and no matter how he will end up himself.
Nevertheless, this card may show some positive sides
- like determination,
- the sheer will,
- ldrive for success no matter what.
It is quite difficult to find totally positive sides to this map because the consequences of actions are never taken into account. Indeed, the Tarot Sword Rider is so blinded by his desire to succeed that he can sometimes become dangerous as his actions are thoughtless.
We have the impression that he's running out of time. He has to go for it. Because of his lack of preparation and time, he's unscrupulous. On the other hand, he's a character who has no emotion. Nor will he be able to understand the needs of others. In fact, only one thing matters to him, succeeding in what he has decided to do.
The advantages of the swordsman
Nevertheless, the Sword Rider card can be useful whenever you need determination to start a new venture. There are times in life when it is necessary to decide this way and not to stop in front of obstacles or people who are trying to stop you. The Tarot Sword Rider may also symbolize the'burst of energy that propels forward. The impulse which allows you to get to the goal quickly.
Thus this rider will push you to the achievement of your goal, helping you to overcome all problems, all obstacles.
The swordsman will be double-edged because it is obviously necessary to know how to find a balance in the action.
The intellectual side of the swordsman should not be neglected either. Indeed, the sequence of swords represents the logical worldIt's about thinking and acting.
Thus the Swordsman is a intellectual character. Ou who at least uses his brain and his thinking in a predominant way. It is also excellent in communication matter like all sword cards. That makes him capable of making excellent arguments. He can be particularly effective when it is necessary to negotiate.
Although the Tarot Sword Knight is devoid of empathy, he nonetheless likes to work as a team player. He also likes to share his abilities with others so that he can share his ideas and develop new points of view.
The Tarot Sword Rider is a call to action for you to take immediate action.
The sword knight's card is drawn upside down:
When the swordsmanis pulled upside down, you'll find yourself facing a person terribly impatient, impulsive. A person who will be so impatient with the energy he's so full of.
This has various consequences,
- such as making him/her make decisions that are too hasty and sometimes lacking in common sense.
- or scold other people and make them do things that aren't good for them.
The Reverse Swordsman will be able to represent a person with a thousand and one ideas in his head and not be able to implement any of them. It will be an unpredictable person, and terribly disorganized, who will disperse all his energy to come up with ideas and not implement them.
Sword riders are people brimming with energy who can take you along in their whirlwind. They know how to talk and how to transmit their passion, but sometimes it is important to take a step back so as not to get caught up in projects that don't make sense.
His best weapon, the word.
On the other hand, the sword rider is also a great speaker and he's very good at communicating. The upside-down card will represent a character who will talk more than he will act, and will sell a lot. He will also tend to make things up or brag a lot. So you have to be very careful not to be fooled by this kind of character.
The upside down epee rider will also indicate, if you draw this card, that you need to step back from the situation in order to better understand how to move forward. It may also be a call to gain more experience and maturity, because just as the Jack of Swords was inclined to learn, the Reverse Swordsman also has this ability but has difficulty concentrating and stabilizing.
The Knight of Swords, independence above all
This card is also about need for freedom and independence. The impatient nature of the sword rider will make him tend to make mistakes often, mistakes that they will sometimes pay dearly later on.
This card could also represent a rebel, or someone who is fighting to regain his independence but is not doing so methodically. Simply by exploding and putting himself in a position of revolt and struggle.
The inverted map of the sword rider might also suggest that it is necessary to take a step back from the situation and time. A way of saying that one should not get into action right away and that one should accept to take a little time. Thus the map will explain that you should not exhaust yourself trying to arrive at any cost if the obstacles are too great.

You draw the sword rider card thinking of one person in particular:
- In the professional field:
The sword rider could be an excellent ally in professional matters. Nevertheless, his impulsive side, like that of the stick rider, will make it necessary to channel it and set limits. It will also be necessary to watch his actions so as not to pay the consequences of his imprudence. -
In the sentimental field :
The Swordsman's not a sentimental guy. This person is too impatient, too impulsive. Our rider knows nothing about seduction even if he knows how to speak very well. He will find it difficult to establish long-term relationships. He will go where his desires and interests take him. It will not be a good husband or a person with whom it is easy to live with. He will often be unpredictable and may disappear overnight. -
In the financial field :
The swordsman is not a good financier. Too reckless, too impatient. He doesn't know how to calculate the consequences, he doesn't know how to take the time to think.
