Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords sits on her throne, holding a sword upright. Her other hand is extended as if to say "Stop." She is clear, articulate, and fiercely independent. She has suffered (see the clouds), but she has gained wisdom.
She represents the ability to cut through emotions to find the truth. She is the honest friend who tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
It asks you to use your head, not your heart. Be objective. Set boundaries. Do not tolerate lies. Your clarity is your power.
