What are the Queen of Swords Tarot Card Meanings?

Unlike the other Queens of the Minor Arcana, the Queen of Swords is shown from her profile.

This Queen has turned her back to her past experiences and continues to look forward.

Her raised hand beckons what lays before her while she holds a sword in the other. This very literally means “come and get me”.

She is a woman who isn’t afraid of what life throws at her because she has already been ran through the gauntlet of the past.

When the Queen of Swords appears in your reading, she has a few meanings.

Sometimes she represents a strong female in your life that may or may not be beneficial to your own growth.

Often she appears when you need to be reminded to meet life with honesty and openness.

The Queen of Swords is especially likely to show herself to women who have triumphed over toxic romantic relationships.

The position of the Queen of Swords is important in determining her purpose in your spread.

In your past position, she is pointing to a decision made in the past that has lead you to your current situation.

Since this card is always looking towards the future, this means that whatever has happened in the past is complete.

This event is still affecting you because you haven’t let go of it.

The Queen of Swords is telling you that it’s time to move on.

Leave the past in the past and you’ll see the quality of your life greatly improve.

In your present position, the Queen of Swords is relatively weak.

In this position, she is calling you out for ignoring what’s happening around you.

It’s possible that you’re missing the present while pining for the future.

While caring about what’s to come isn’t a bad thing, you are more than likely hindering yourself by shrugging off the issues arising in your present life.

Make sure you’re dreams aren’t interfering with your responsibilities.

The Queen of Swords in your future position is a very good omen. This means that the choices you make on your path are helping to shape a better future.

Regardless of what’s happening in your life currently, you will overcome whatever problems arise and walk away with knowledge and wisdom that you’ll carry with you forever.

Work and the Queen of Swords Tarot Card

The Queen of Swords is a card of action, so when she shows up in your career oriented spread it’s a good idea to heed her message.

You can expect opportunities to prevent themselves to you soon. It could be a promotion, pay raise, or even an offer for a new position elsewhere.

Whatever life opens up to you, take it, especially if you’re unhappy with your current position.

If you are looking for work, the Queen of Swords is urging you to try harder. It’s possible that you are not exhausting all of your options.

If you want to land the job of your dreams, you cannot wait around for it to come to you. Fight for what you want and do not take no for an answer.

Love and the Queen of Swords

The Queen of Swords in your love forecast says to pull back. If you’re already attached and she appears to you, it means that your expectations of your partner may be driving a wedge in your relationship.

It’s more important to work through rough patches together, as opposed to expecting your love to meet your demands with little to no compromise on your end.

If you’re looking for love, the Queen of Swords is a sign that you may be looking for the wrong sort of person. It’s important that your potential partner fits into the life you already have.

Do not try to force a relationship with someone you have to carve out a part of yourself for. You will eventually find someone whose goals match your own, so don’t settle.

The Queen of Swords and Finances

In a financial spread, the Queen of Swords tarot card meanings are not necessarily the best ones you can have.

She has one of two meanings here:

  • an opportunity to invest is coming your way, or
  • a financially responsible woman will soon be making an appearance in your life.

In either of these scenarios, trust your instincts. If a deal or a partnership seems like a good fit once you go over all the details, jump in.

Meaning of the Queen of Swords in Health

When it comes to your health, the Queen of Swords is telling you to pay more attention to what your body is telling you. Chances are, you’ve been putting off making an appointment or getting a check-up.

While there’s a good chance nothing is wrong, it’s possible you have been brushing off early warning signs.

Get checked out, even if you think it’s a waste of time. It’s better to catch something before it escalates into a more serious illness.

The Queen of Swords Reversed

In the reversed position, the Queen of Swords card is telling you that you’re not living up to your potential. Maybe fear of reliving past mistakes is holding you back, or perhaps someone in your life is preventing you from moving forward.

Whatever the case may be, you’re stagnant. It’s important that you work through these hurdles that have been placed in your path in order to get ahead.

Recognize what exactly it is that’s keeping you where you are and change accordingly.
