Queen of Swords Tarot Card Meaning
Minor Arcana, suit of Swords
clear judgment, honesty, independence, boundaries
The card
A queen sits in profile on a stone throne carved with butterflies, holding her sword upright while her other hand reaches out as if in welcome. Clouds gather below her and a single bird flies high above. She stands for clear sight and honest words earned through experience, and the card asks you to speak your truth with both precision and grace.
Upright meaning
Clear-sighted and honest; she judges fairly and sets firm, kind boundaries.
Reversed meaning
Cold, bitter or overly critical; sharpness without compassion.
