The card

A knight charges at full gallop on a white horse, sword thrust forward, while the wind tears at the trees and clouds behind him. He is all conviction and momentum, rushing straight at his goal. The card admires that drive and asks you to check where you are heading before you get there.

Upright meaning

Charging ahead with conviction and speed, cutting straight to the point.

Reversed meaning

Reckless haste, harsh words or rushing in without a plan.
