	A key meaning of the Knight of Swords is that of painful memories, suffering by ancient wrongs. In fact war is in all cases, be it private or collective, the phenomenon of the outbreak of some ancient wrong or evil—the wrong of oppression on one side or the evil of desire on the other. The Knight of Swords must bear the significance of the bearer of weapons, which avenge wrongs or serve attacks. Badly aspected it may mean opposition against the power of the father or [[The Emperor]], revolution, which is quite in the line of the grumbling and malcontent nature of the [[Cancer]]ian of the lower type. It is, however, to be expected that such opposition will be very much hidden, dark, in the background, not open nor very loyal.

The '''Knight of Swords''' is the twelfth card in the suit of [[Swords (Tarot)|Swords]]. It usually stands for skill or bravery. Wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin. A soldier, man of arms. Heroic action in the future.

==General description==
In the [[Rider-Waite Tarot]] deck, [[Pamela Colman Smith]] depicts the Knight of Swords as a Knight riding in full course, as if scattering his enemies. In the design he is really a prototypical hero of romantic chivalry. He might almost be Galahad, whose sword is swift and sure because he is clean of heart. The armed man under the rule of the Emperor, the military man who may rather fall under the same house as the police, and be indicated by the [[Page of Swords]].
