Queen of Swords Tarot Card, in its core, represents satisfaction that comes with a logical and rational approach to life. This card is associated with the Air element, representing the Zodiac signs of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, and its season is Winter. The Queen represents a mature female figure or female energy.
Queen of Swords Meaning
When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawings, the Queen of Swords may come up straight, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers do like to read reversed tarot cards. Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic readers conduct their readings because a Tarot Card deck connects to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.
Upright Position
Merging the qualities of “Queen” and the qualities of the “Swords Suit,” the Queen of Swords card would represent:
| Being honest, avoiding lies | Daring to face the ugly truth |
| Being upfront with everyone | Playing by the rules |
| Sizing up a situation quickly | Intuitively understanding the hidden motives |
| Being difficult to trick or fool | Being direct and frank in all dealings |
| Knowing how to be candid when necessary | Being straightforward and witty |
| Having a good sense of humor | Able to laugh at yourself too, not taking things too seriously |
| Attitude of having seen and done it all | Being true to yourself and having realistic expectations |
Reverse Position
In a reverse position, the Queen of Swords would mean precisely the opposite of its core qualities, bringing in the drawing:
| Being overly critical | Not being able to make a decision, cut things off |
| Spreading malicious gossip | Lacking empathy |
| Lacking grace | Representing trauma, toxic behavior |
| Not learning from past experiences or mistakes | Choosing to be harsh, bitter, vindictive |
| Having poor communication | Being unforgiving and revengeful |
Horizontal Position
There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal positions. If the Queen of Swords would sit in a horizontal position, it advises you may need to give yourself or someone else more time.
This may be the case when you have been thinking and considering to cut someone off of your life or fire someone at work. Maybe you have noticed behavior that doesn’t seem to change, or you have gotten one red flag, and you are ready to cut things off. The downside is that you may be seeing someone through past experiences, and you know you will not tolerate the same toxic behaviors anymore.
The thing is that you have not given yourself or the other person enough time to show their true colors, intentions, or learn their pattern. Don’t make a rushed decision unless you are sure of what you want.

When will something happen answer?
