The King of Swords looks straight at you, and does not look away, to show you that he is in command. He makes bold decisions but will fact-check a situation before he makes his decision.

He lives by high standards, is very cautious, needs his space to feel at his best and does not like to be surprised.
You might wonder why the King of Swords has appeared. Is he trying to tell you something about yourself? Do you need to use your head and not let your feelings get in the way so you can decide fairly? Do you need to gather all the facts to understand what is going on behind the scenes before you can make a life-changing decision?
Or do you need to reach out for sound advice because you are dealing with a legal issue? Do you need to scrutinize a document inside and out before signing it? Do you need help understanding what you are getting yourself into and if there will be consequences at a later date?
The King of Swords refers to a person, an event, or a part of yourself that needs to be activated so you can make an important decision, reach out for sound advice, give sound advice, deal with an open enemy, or overcome a challenge.

You might decide to reach out to an authority figure who could be an arbitrator, police officer, lawyer, doctor (surgeon), judge, military professional, professor, businessman, writer, boss, father, strong family member, potential lover, or a friend.
You might need to activate part of yourself that was previously dormant so you can deal with an open enemy, or overcome a challenge.
Possible Outcome: You are putting off making a bold decision regarding a legal issue, job/career issue, leadership role issue, or relationship issue.
