CARD MEANING
___________

Upright:  This card represents a person or aspect of your personality which is sharp and direct but may be hasty in action and word.  This knight is a great debater and loves a chance to jump into heated discussions charged with energy.  This knight tends to represent a disregard of emotions and thus can point to direct, harsh words.  This card can also point to focused drive.  You have made a decision and nothing outside of you can stop you from moving forward on your plans.  While this card can be telling you that it is time to take action, it may also serve as a warning to ensure that you are not ignoring important details or outside ideas.

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 has done or said something they now regret.  It may appear after a heated argument or debate, asking you to look at your words and consider that you may have spoken too harshly.  This card encourages you to take other people’s feelings into account when voicing your passionate and strong opinions.  This reversed knight may also represent an argument that is not worth your time and energy. Someone may be provoking you but it would be best to keep quiet and walk away.
