Narrative Meaning

The Knight of Swords is at full gallop — and his horse is not slowing down for anything. Of all four Knights, his horse moves the fastest, charging at full speed through a storm with sword raised. He is brilliant, bold, and utterly single-minded — when this Knight has an idea or a cause, nothing and no one is getting in the way. The shadow is just as fast as the gift: this Knight can blast through situations and relationships without pausing long enough to consider the damage in his wake.

Practical Note

Move fast and move decisively — this is not the energy of careful deliberation. Speed and bold action are what's called for right now, and things can shift very quickly. Go after what you want with everything you have.

Move fast and decisively — but make sure you're charging toward something, not just charging.
