The Knight of Swords Meaning [Reversed]
The reversed knight of swords has all the energy of his upright counterpart image, but he manages it less well. Here the approach to life is less organized.
Energy is high, but direction is poor. Think impulsive actions, grand plans left unfinished, and impatience driving everything along into chaos.
If this approach is affecting your life, now is the time to get a grip on it. Learning to channel energy [of your own or others] is the best way to create a calm, achieving environment. Logic leads to achievement.
Sometimes it’s challenging to make these changes alone, so don’t hesitate to seek guidance and support.
Your performance will drop off if you are burning out due to this madcap dash through life at breakneck speeds. That’s inevitable. You cannot do everything, so take this pressure off yourself.
