The Queen of Swords ~ Clear Mind, Clear Heart!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Queen of Swords, representing: Clarity, intelligence, independence, discernment and rational judgment.

Of all the Queens, the Queen of Swords is perhaps the most intelligent and worldly. Her mind is clear, and her judgment is not clouded by emotion or sentimentality. With her clear gaze and upwardly pointed sword this Queen is ready to sternly and concisely lead you to victory!

You may see this card appear when a situation calls for you to marshal your intellect and bring more intelligence and information to a situation instead of compassion and empathy. This Queen often shows up when there are powerful, intelligent women in your realm who can be either mentors or allies, helping you to see clearly and discern the truth.

This Queen is formidable, and at times may seem cold and aloof, as she leads more from her mind than from her heart. She is learning to balance her intellect with her heart and intuition as a way of discerning and acting on all possible options.

The Queen of Swords mantra is: The truth will set you free!
