The King of Swords reversed often signals a departure from logic-driven decisions and an embrace of emotion, subjectivity, or even confusion. When this card appears in readings about reconciliation, it suggests a complex dynamic where clear communication and mutual understanding may be compromised but not unattainable.
This card’s energy challenges you to confront biases, misunderstandings, or power imbalances that might have caused a rift. While upright, the King of Swords embodies clarity, authority, and fairness, the reversed version implies that reconciliation may require navigating miscommunications, hidden motives, or emotional wounds that hinder straightforward resolution.
