You can always count on the Queen of Swords to tell you exactly how it is. Above all else she admires honesty, and she lives by her commitment to being truthful. Lies, tricks and games are of no interest to her. However...this does not mean that she is easy to fool. She is very experienced in the ways of the world - good and bad. The Queen of Swords can size up a situation quickly. She understands human folly, but doesn't condemn it. She knows when cow manure is being thrown around and simply finds clever ways around it. She prefers being straightforward and direct. Her observations are candid, but never hurtful. In fact, this Queen has a delightful sense of humor. She likes a good laugh and always has a witty comeback ready-to-hand. Life isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and she knows it. The Queen of Swords is refreshing in her candor and lack of pretense.--Joan Bunning
Like electrical current, the queen's mind moves quickly. What she
says will be right to the point; aphorisms are more to her taste than
philosophies. She may be an essayist or columnist; journalism that
focuses on current issues is her forte. She delights in verbal
sparring; some may find her argumentative. The satisfaction of
producing a witticism means more to the queen of swords than having
an idea adopted. Her interest in the water element indicates her
realization that simple emotional gratification can go further with
people than the most profound inspiration.... She may not be
interested in maintaining a longterm relationship herself, but she
loves matchmaking. She can be a delightful ally in a romantic
intrigue; she may be a busybody. ... Sometimes the queen of swords
signifies a person in mourning. The queen of swords could be someone
whose responsibilities bar her or him from the garden of youth,
someone who is temporarily separated from loved ones, or someone in
exile....The queen of swords loves gadgets, especially electronics
and computers. The queen will tinker with the
hardware.--Jean
Huets
Having experienced pain and having faced it with courage,
acceptance, and honesty, she has found wisdom. She has used the sword
of her intellect to free herself from confusion, doubt and fear; now,
although she frowns at the world, she opens her hand to it. Though
clouds gather around her, her head remains above them in the clear
air of truth.--Rachel
Pollack
She is strong, capable, stern, a force to be reckoned with in the
business world or field of law. She is protective of herself and
those she loves. This tough exterior does not mean she is incapable
of emotion. She is capable of deep passion but does not give her
heart easily. There is a light around her and despite her protective
shell, she attracts men like a
magnet.--Susan
Hansson
Setting aside your masks, renouncing the security offered by
playing familiar roles means the voluntary giving-up of habitual
defense mechanisms. By using the sword of penetrating insight you
come to recognize that the masks you wear not only protect and
camouflage, but also separate you from your Self and others.
Energetic cutting through of your masks liberates you and the Queen
of Swords leads you out of the surrounding clouds into clarity and
openness.--Gerd
Ziegler
Water of Air: Vibrations--bulk unmoved, spiritualized to reflect
Ruach (mind)
She is the clear, conscious perception of Idea, the Liberator of the
Mind.
The person symbolized by this card should be intensely perceptive, a
keen observer, a subtle interpreter, an intense individualist,
gracious and just. Her movements will be graceful, and her ability in
dancing and balancing exceptional.
If ill-dignified, these qualities will all be turned to unworthy
purposes. She will be cruel, sly, deceitful and unreliable; in this
way, very dangerous, on account of the superficial beauty and
attractiveness which distinguish
her.--Aleister
Crowley
