Career, Work Or Retirement:

A man in your work environment may behave or talk to you in a way that you find bothersome, but the truth is that you may be being too sensitive. He’s just doing his job. If you are looking for work, a man, likely to be dark haired and the stereotypical ‘man’s man’ may be in a position to hire you, but you will have to impress him on every level to get the job. Know where to draw the line, but don’t be too quick to claim offense.

The King of Swords often stands in for a powerful, opinionated, forceful man in the querent’s life. He will often, but not always, have hair on the darker end of the spectrum. You may be tempted to think only about how things affect you personally, particularly when this card does not represent a man in your life. Consider the feelings of others before you act.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Moon suggests that circumstances may be elusive, unclear, confusing, fluctuating, or unsteady at this time. The Moon has a dark side, always hidden from human view. Individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol can cause problems. Important information may have been misunderstood or may not yet be within your grasp. Unseen influences may be at work, and matters are likely to look different in the light of day. You may be in one phase of a cycle, and only with the passage of time will the next phase reveal itself. Don’t jump to conclusions or act on impulse. Be sure you have accurate and verifiable information before making a major decision.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the King of Swords uses his sharp intellect and skill with words heartlessly to inflict harm on others. He may even delight in causing pain in a cruel and exploitative manner. Aggressive and domineering, he enjoys forcefully confronting others in an effort to make them squirm. His measure of justice is ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’

Complete Book of Tarot: As mentioned, the Golden Dawn occultists made use of Kabbalah to assign meanings to tarot cards. In particular, they paired the meanings of the numbered Sephiroth (emanations) of the Tree of Life with cards of the same number. The Tree of Life is oriented in space like the Hanged Man, growing upside-down. The initial spark of creation takes place at the top of the tree in the Sephirah Kether (‘the Crown’), numbered one. The roots of the tree lie in heaven, and its ultimate fruit manifests at the bottom in Malkuth (‘the Kingdom of Earth’), numbered ten. Keywords for the Tree of Life include:

Complete Book of Tarot: Card 10, the final outcome, was the Wheel of Fortune. The spread seemed to be indicating that forces greater than either member of the couple were at work. The outcome could depend somehow on a twist of fate. The Wheel might also signify that the opportunity to have children was now presenting itself but would vanish with the passage of time, just as the doctor had counseled. The two of them had an important decision to make while the possibility of having children was still open.
