The Queen of swords is an enigmatic card. Plain and simple, its enigma lies in the lack of clues that we have to interpret it on. The Queen of swords depicts usually just the outline of a woman, perched on a throne, holding an outstretched card. Some versions simply have a sword displayed on a white background. Clouds accumulate in the sky above the woman and winds of change sweep across the horizon. She faces towards the future with her left hand poised to receive and her right fist clasping an upright sword of truth.
The danger of the Queen of swords is that whilst the upright position shows the unbiased option, unconditional love, clear boundaries and communication, an older woman in your life who will step in and help you — the reversed queen of swords shows just the opposite. It can mean that your memory and interpretation of events is distorted. You do not necessarily have a clear picture of what happened. Your view is clouded.
What the queen of swords reversed shows for love, is that you do not have the truth, you should listen to your partner’s version of events. Be open to their way of seeing things. It could also indicate looming trauma or past burnings.

The usual interpretation is a cool-headed, ruthless woman, usually with a very specific agenda. There is a positive aspect to this circumstance.
