Minor Arcana
Swords
King of Swords
Standard: Expressing yourself with firmness and authority. Rendering a final decision. Consulting an expert. Calling in advisors and consultants. Coming to a final conclusion. Reaching a beneficial agreement based on sound information.
Reversed: Insisting on having the last word. Flaunting your intellectual capability. Talking "over the heads" of others. Waffling on an important decision. Constantly changing your mind. Refusing to make choices that are in your own best interest. Wishing in vain you could take back what's been said.
Questions to Ask
- What would your decision be if you had to render a binding verdict right now?
- How comfortable are you saying exactly what you mean? How often do you temper what you have to say for fear of offending others?
- If you were to ask others what is my area of expertise, what would they say?
