The King of Swords is the Prince of the Chariot of the Winds and is aligned with the Air signs of Gemini, Libra & Aquarius. He represents ambition, intellectual prowess and cool justice.
The King of Swords  is an intelligent, logical man, fair if somewhat cold and detached. His way is not based on emotion but on calm reason.
His world is one of ideas, concepts, philosophy and justice. Â He may be involved in the law, science, teaching or any profession where the mental realm is engaged.
He is witty, analytical, clever and sometimes argumentative. If he does not find mental challenge and stimulation he will be moving on before long, or else creating intrigue and trouble out of the need for variety.
As a lover he enjoys the chase, flirtation and the game of love. He would like to think that he is the more intelligent, but also enjoys a partner that he can spar with verbally and intellectually.
When he turns up in a reading, it means that it is time to master your intellectual abilities and to leave behind the emotional baggage that can often weigh one down and cloud the real situation. Look at life with an even eye, with the spirit of balance, fairness and commonsense.
On a mundane level, he represents advice of a legal or financial nature, or the need to approach legal or financial matters with a fair and balanced viewpoint. There is a need to be dispassionate when viewing situations in your life that may be problematic, and which can often cloud the emotions, since these areas tend to bring up our patterns from our past, especially our childhood, which can make it difficult to be detached.
This is the time for you to make decisions  that will propel your life forward, since this time brings clarity of thought and the ability to execute your plans in a way that you will succeed.
