Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Tarot lately, and the Queen of Swords keeps popping up in my relationship readings. It’s been… interesting, to say the least. So, I figured I’d share my little experiment and what I’ve learned so far. I am not a professional, Just share my personal experience.
First, I pulled out my trusty Rider-Waite deck. I’ve had this deck for years, and it always feels the most “honest” to me. I shuffled the cards, really focusing on my current relationship situation – the good, the bad, and the confusing.
Then I laid out a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future. And guess who showed up in the present position? You guessed it, the Queen of Swords. I stared at the card for a good long while. That stern look, the sword held high… it definitely felt significant.
My Interpretation Journey
- First Impression: Honestly, my first thought was, “Uh oh.” I’ve always associated this Queen with being overly critical, cold, and maybe even a bit harsh. Not exactly the vibe you want in a relationship reading, right?
- Digging Deeper: But I decided to do some research. I checked out a few different Tarot websites and books, and I started to see a more nuanced picture. Yes, the Queen of Swords is about clear communication and setting boundaries, but it’s also about honesty, integrity, and using your intellect to navigate challenges.
- Applying it to My Life: I realized I had been avoiding some tough conversations with my partner. I was so worried about hurting their feelings that I wasn’t being completely truthful about my own needs and concerns. Classic Queen of Swords energy – or rather, the lack of it, in my case.
The Experiment
I decided I would try embody some of those Queen of Swords qualities for the next week. Be more direct, and speak my mind, to use my head. Here’s what I did:
- I initiated a conversation about a recurring issue we’d been having. I laid out my concerns clearly and calmly, without blaming or getting emotional.
- I set a boundary about something that had been bothering me. It was uncomfortable, but I did it!
- I focused on using logic and reason, rather than letting my emotions dictate my reactions. This was surprisingly hard!
The Results (So Far)
It’s still early days, but I’ve already noticed a shift. The conversation I initiated? It went way better than I expected. We actually talked things through and came up with a solution together. Setting that boundary? It felt empowering, and my partner was surprisingly receptive.
I am not saying that I have been a queen, but I’m learning that the Queen of Swords isn’t about being mean or cold. It’s about being honest with yourself and others, communicating clearly, and using your intelligence to navigate the complexities of relationships. It’s a work in progress, for sure, but I’m feeling pretty optimistic about where this little Tarot experiment is heading. I Will continue my this way, maybe something magic will happen!
