Alright, let’s talk about this Queen of Swords card, you know, the one with the sword and all. Folks keep askin’ if it’s a “yes” or a “no,” like life’s that simple. It ain’t, let me tell ya.
Now, from what I gather, this Queen, she ain’t one for givin’ you a straight answer right off the bat. She’s more like that nosy neighbor who needs to poke around and think things over before she tells you what’s what.
See, if you’re askin’ somethin’ that needs a good thinkin’ through, like if you should take that job sellin’ them vacuum cleaners door to door, she ain’t gonna just say “yup” or “nope.” She’s gonna tell you to use your brain. You got experience, right? You ain’t a spring chicken. So, think back on what you know, weigh the good and the bad, and then decide for yourself. That’s what I always say, listen to yourself, others just want your money.

- Thinkin’ it through: This Queen, she’s all about usin’ your head. Don’t just jump into things like a chicken with its head cut off. Look at all the sides, like you’re pickin’ out the best tomatoes at the market.
- Learnin’ somethin’ new: Even if you’re older than dirt like me, you can still learn a thing or two. This Queen, she likes folks who keep their eyes and ears open.
- Not jumpin’ to conclusions: Don’t be too quick to judge, you hear? Just ‘cause somethin’ looks shiny don’t mean it ain’t rotten inside. Take your time and figure things out. Like that time I thought I bought a good hen, turned out she just looked good. laid a handful of eggs then nothing. Fool me once, shame on you fool me twice shame on me.
But then, there’s the other side of the coin, you know? Sometimes, this Queen does give you a “yes,” especially when you gotta be honest and fair. Like if you’re askin’ if you should tell your neighbor their cow’s been wanderin’ into your garden again, well, the Queen might just say, “Yep, tell ‘em straight. Don’t beat around the bush.” Honesty is the best policy. That is what my ma always said and she was a good woman.
So, it ain’t as easy as “yes” or “no.” It depends on what you’re askin’ and how you’re askin’ it. This Queen, she wants you to use your noodle. She wants you to be fair and honest, both with yourself and with others. And for goodness sake, don’t go bossin’ people around. Let them do what they will, you do what you need to do.
Here’s the thing about feelings too. This Queen, she might seem all cold and sharp with that sword of hers, but she ain’t heartless. She just wants you to pay attention to how you’re feelin’. Don’t let your head boss your heart around too much, and don’t let your heart make you do stupid things. It’s a balance, like walkin’ a tightrope.
Now, some folks say this Queen can be a bit bossy, always tellin’ folks what to do. Don’t be like that. Let folks make up their own minds. You can give ‘em your two cents, sure, but don’t try and force ‘em to do things your way. Live and let live, that’s what I say.
So, next time you pull that Queen of Swords card, don’t just expect a simple answer. Think about what you’re askin’. Think about what you know. Think about how you’re feelin’. And then, make up your own mind. That’s what this Queen wants you to do. She wants you to be strong, be smart, and be true to yourself. And for heavens sake don’t be bossy, ain’t nobody likes a bossy boots.
And don’t forget, life’s a garden, not a straight road. Sometimes you gotta dig deep to find the answers, and sometimes you just gotta let things grow. And remember a good hoe, some seeds, and a prayer go a long ways.
In the end, whether it’s a “yes” or a “no” or a “maybe so,” it’s up to you to figure it out. This Queen, she just gives you the tools. You gotta use ‘em. And sometimes the answer is not an answer at all, but an invitation to ask more questions. Just like when my grand kids ask me for candy. They know the answer is no but they ask anyways.
So, that’s the Queen of Swords for ya. A bit complicated, a bit bossy, but mostly just wants you to use your head and your heart. And that’s good advice, no matter who you are or where you come from. Now go on, get back to living your life. Ain’t got time for sitting around.
