XIII Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords usually means an older woman who appears in your life, pegged to the current issue or that a situation is close to finding its conclusion in a rational way. The Queen of Swords figure focuses on practical life issues and can be quite cold, but she is an advisory and fair energy. So when the card appears in a reading, it may mean that you should use reason and not emotion to resolve your issues.
When the reading indicates a woman in your life, be careful, because just as it can be someone with wisdom and experience, it can represent a critical, controlling, and self-interested person - or someone with a wicked tongue.
A little more about Queen of Swords...
The Queen of Swords is linked to the air signs, and its symbolism is linked to concepts such as justice, intellect and truth. For her, there is no room for emotions because of the challenges and pressures.
In the card, we see a woman sitting on her throne, with a sword in her hand. Her countenance is serious and stern, indicating that she has integrity and no one deceives her easily. As she raises her sword with her right hand, as if to judge you by your actions, her left hand reaches out as if she has something to offer, perhaps her wisdom in the form of advice.
In the background, we see a blue sky, unlike the turbulence found on most other Swords cards. The clouds, which represent confusion, are below, that is, they cannot interfere with logical reasoning. The bird above her head symbolizes the mind’s ability to rise above problems to find solutions.
