The cherub shows that the queen does have a softer side despite her hardcore personality, and some butterflies represent transformation.

She is lifting her left hand, which shows that she is open to receiving, and her right hand is lifting the sword, pointing up, which means she wants to find the truth.

There are also clouds in the background forming, which once again means there are changes.

She will provide you with constructive criticism and say it in a way that will not hurt your feelings but still be truthful.

You can also think of that friend who doesn’t show emotions but knows how to help you cope with difficult situations as she listens to you and makes constructive suggestions.

However, when the Queen of Swords is in reverse, she is not a nice person at all.

The Queen of Swords upright isn’t known to be warm but cordial; a good listener advises you on what to do and will provide constructive criticism.

On the other hand, the Queen of Swords is downright mean.

She is malicious, cruel, will say hurtful things to you, manipulative, as well as deceitful.

You can think of a true narcissist or just a mean girl bully you had to encounter at high school or work.

However, she can also be a true pessimist.


Let's talk a bit about the Queen of Swords in reverse in a moment and go over what she represents regarding a career.

The Queen of Swords can be compared to a manager, a professor, or any type of lecturer.

And now onto the reversed Queen of Swords.

Queen of Swords Reversed

You learned a little bit of what she is like in reverse, and she is not a nice person.

But she may not necessarily be that way.

One is that she becomes nasty and cold-hearted.

And the other is that she is too emotional and can be influenced easily.

Risa Green has been dealing with many like the Queen of Swords reversed.

Her mother, her sister, and all those bullies who made her life difficult match that description.

Think about the mean girls that you once knew.

Those mean girls from high school or college are like the Queen of Swords reversed with some gossip on the side.

But since Risa's neighbor is friendly to her face, she does not match the Queen of Swords reversed as she is more of a pure Seven of Swords type.

You can also say the Queen of Swords reversed is an echoist, as she does not speak up and goes out of her way to please you.

That is Risa Green. So how can you use the Queen of Swords in your life?

How To Apply The Queen of Swords To Your Life

This is simple yet so difficult.

All you need to do is to speak the truth.

Speak up and say what is on your mind because that is what the Queen of Swords would do. She would do it in a heartbeat.

Therefore, if you need to say something to someone, and you are procrastinating on telling them because it makes you uncomfortable -

then pull out the Queen of Swords to remind you to speak your truth and let them know what you want them to know.

Applying this card in your daily life is also essential to get what you need.

When you are an echoist, you don't speak up and don't get your needs met.

And if you are trying to change that for the better, this card is a reminder to carry with you.

The next card I will discuss is the King of Swords, the last card of the Swords suit.
