Knight of Swords Reversed Tarot Meaning and Interpretation

The reversed Knight of Swords can indicate that you need to be on your guard, particularly with people who are new. Someone may come into your life who is not trustworthy; they are not necessarily a thief in the literal sense, but could be a thief of energy, information, or ideas.

General

If this card appears when you have some travel coming up, be prepared for the trip to take longer than you would like or expect. Be cautious about sharing information in any form; emails are generally not secure and nearly any telephone conversation can be overheard or recorded. No need to be paranoid, but there is a need to be prudent.

Love

When the Knight of Swords appears in reverse and you’re looking for love, this would be a signal to keep your eyes open and to try to look below the surface when you meet new prospective partners. Just because someone may try overly hard to impress you when you first meet doesn’t mean that they’re a loser.

In an existing relationship, subtle shifts in your partner’s mood or behavior can signal unspoken concerns. If you sense something is weighing on them, open the door for conversation. A simple, “I’ve noticed you seem a little distant lately – is there anything you’d like to talk about?” shows care and invites trust. Listening without judgment often matters more than solving the problem. Love isn’t just about joy – it’s about being there for the unspoken moments, too.

Money and Finances

The reversed Knight can indicate that someone may try to swindle you out of some money, or at the very least, may ask you to pay far more than an item is worth. Do your homework and don’t be swayed by any “fast talkers.”

Work and Career

When the Knight of Swords appears reversed when you are already working, watch out for a co-worker who may shamelessly try to take all the credit for your work. Be sure that you have a paper trail and backups to prove you have been doing things the correct way. Someone may also try to blame you for a problem that wasn’t your fault. Stand up tall and protect yourself.

If you are looking for work it may benefit you to take a short break and to polish up your resume and do background tasks, rather than actively seeking work.

Health

Your health care practitioners may be coming across as though they are completely sure what is ailing you when in fact the situation could be less clear than they, or you, think. This doesn’t have to be bad news, in fact it could be very good. Do some research of your own and consider a second opinion if necessary.

Spirituality

With regard to spiritual questions, the Knight of Swords reversed tells you to evaluate spiritual information you are getting very carefully; regardless of its’ source. It is easy to become confused or deluded now. Give yourself time and space to absorb new information.
