King of Swords Reversed
The King of Swords Reversed can represent what you would call quiet power. During this time you may feel you don’t need to be the loudest person in the room or be the most visible person in the room. Even though you don’t need the credit doesn’t mean you don’t have anything to contribute and share. You are more powerful than you think. Your power comes from within. You need to believe in yourself. Believe in your value and your truth. Stay on course with what you believe and trust in your higher self and what really matters to you. Make sure not to misuse your power or let your ego go to your head. This may be a good time to think and figure out the next step to take.
