So, I got into tarot cards lately, you know, just for fun and a bit of self-reflection. I did a reading for myself, focusing on what the future holds. I pulled out the King of Swords for the future position.
At first, I was like, “Okay, a king, that sounds powerful, but what does it mean in this context?” I did a bit of digging around. I found out that this card is all about using your brain, making decisions based on logic and facts, and being fair to others. It’s not about letting your emotions drive you. Instead, you gotta think things through, you know?
The resources I read, they talked about being methodical and confident. The King of Swords isn’t just about feeling your way through; it’s about knowing your path. It says you should draw on your past experiences and bring a level-headed assuredness to whatever you’re dealing with. I guess that makes sense. After all, we learn from our past, right?

Then, there’s this part about the King of Swords sometimes being seen as stern. I guess that’s because he’s so focused on being rational and fair. He’s not going to sugarcoat things. He’s going to tell it like it is. Some people interpret the King of Swords in the future position as a warning, a sign that I might be facing an ultimatum from someone close, maybe because of my own negative behavior. That got me thinking, “What am I doing that might be causing problems?”
But then, there’s another side to it. If the King of Swords represents me in the future, it could mean I’m growing into someone people look up to for advice and guidance. I guess, using my head and being fair in my dealings, it’s a good way to earn respect, you know?
Here is what I did with this reading:
- Reflected on my actions: I started thinking about my recent behavior and decisions. Am I being too emotional? Am I not thinking things through?
- Considered my relationships: Is there someone in my life who might be unhappy with my actions? Do I need to have a serious conversation with someone?
- Focused on personal growth: How can I become more like the King of Swords? How can I be more logical, fair, and knowledgeable?
- Prepare for the future: I understand that I need to be courageous in pursuing my goals and make well-informed decisions, as the card suggests.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the King of Swords. It’s interesting how a single card can make you think so much about your life and where you’re headed.
