CARD MEANING
___________

Upright:  This card represents a person or aspect of your personality which is strong, loyal, and dependable.  It is a person who is very careful when it comes to making decisions, weighing logically all aspects and ensuring that things are done correctly.  While their progress may be slow-moving, any progress is long lasting, assured, and stable.  This knight may sometimes reflect a sense of security in one’s endeavors and tell you that you may need to focus on the details of your tasks no matter how boring they may seem.  This card can also be telling you that you are being too stubborn-headed and not allowing in outside views and opinions.

Reversed:  If this card is pulled in a reverse position, it may be pointing to pieces of your personality or someone in your life who is feeling stuck and getting too wrapped up in the minute details that they are incapable of making any progress.  It might be telling you to stop reaching for perfection and just take any action to start moving forward.  This card can point to feelings of boredom with normal routines and telling you to do something different, stepping out of the stable and cautious rut you have made for yourself.  This reversed knight could also be telling you to lighten up a little and stop taking yourself so seriously.
