The Queen is a matriarch with clear boundaries and uses her intelligence to interpret both knowledge and her intuition in order to reach her verdict. Alternatively, this card may also symbolize that you are in a position where you are expected to judge others. In that case, it reminds you that things are not always black and white and that you should seek further knowledge and the truth before casting your judgment and aspersions. Be independent in your judgment, do not allow those around you to sway your mind.

Queen of Swords Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Queen of Swords suggests that you are perhaps a person who is easily influenced. You might have a tendency toward being overly emotional but cold to those you do not know personally. While emotions are something to embrace, you might allow them too much influence over your actions and judgments. This card calls upon you to look critically at those around you who would benefit from being able to sway your judgment and influence your actions. Perhaps there’s more to them than you initially suspected. Perhaps open yourself up to higher-order thinking, and seek knowledge from within yourself, rather than outside influences.
