Queen of Swords Keywords
UPRIGHT: Independent, unbiased judgments, clear boundaries, direct communication
REVERSED: Overly-emotional, easily influenced, bitchy, cold-hearted
Queen of Swords Description
The Queen of Swords sits on a stone throne decorated with a cherub, representing the Queen’s softer side, and butterflies representing transformation. She faces towards the future, with her left hand raised as if to receive, and in her right hand, she holds a sword up high and straight, representing her desire to find the truth in all matters. As with the earlier Swords Court cards, clouds accumulate in the sky and a strong wind that passes through the trees, symbolizing the ongoing nature of change.
Queen of Swords Upright
The Queen of Swords combines the mental clarity and intellectual power of the suit of Swords with the maturity and receptiveness of the Queen. You have the gift of being able to use your intellect and unbiased judgement while also remaining flexible and open to receive input from other sources. As you lead from the head and not the heart, you are better able to discern situations without the influence of emotion or sentimentality. You may believe that empathy or compassion towards others will distract you from the task at hand. Instead, you prefer to know the how, what, why, where, when and who of everything to help you make sense of your environment and better understand others. It is not that you do not care about others, but you connect with other people through an intellectual understanding rather than an emotional one.
The Queen of Swords notes that you are a truth-seeker. You are open to hearing the thoughts and opinions of others, but ultimately, you filter that information to decipher what is true and what is not. When interacting with others, you will not tolerate mistruths or excessive ‘fluff’. You prefer to get to the heart of the matter without engaging in too much chit-chat or gossip.
The Queen of Swords suggests that you have an innate ability to tell it like it is. You are a quick thinker and highly perceptive, piercing through the noise and confusion to get straight to the point. There is no ‘beating about the bush,’ or ‘softening’ of your comments, opinions and thoughts. You are upfront and honest in your views, and you expect the same from others. For this reason, many people respect your opinion and come to you for advice when they need clarity.
As a determined, independent and resilient person, you have established clear boundaries, and you are quick to call out someone who crosses them. People do not mess with you, not because you threaten them or inflict violence, but because you set expectations up front about how you want to be treated. Some people might be intimidated by you, but once they get past your tough exterior and develop a sense of trust and respect, they see your softer side.

As you lead from the head and not the heart, you are better able to discern situations without the influence of emotion or sentimentality. You may believe that empathy or compassion towards others will distract you from the task at hand. Instead, you prefer to know the all the details to help you make sense of your environment and better understand others.

Queen of Swords Reversed
The Queen of Swords reversed points out that you may allow your emotions to get the better of you as you put your heart before your head. You may be emotionally involved in a particular issue, and it could be distorting your perception of the situation at hand. You need to use your head a bit more to understand what is happening and read the signals more accurately. Take an objective look at what’s going on and decide what you need to do next.
The reversed Queen of Swords suggests that your relationships are clouding your usually clear vision. You are allowing others to dominate you and negatively affect your ability to make decisions. You hesitate to pursue your plans because you don’t want to rock the boat or disrupt your relationships with others. At the end of the day, however, you need to be more hard-edged, confident and assertive to be successful. Sharp analysis, objectivity, and careful consideration of (but not necessarily choosing) the alternatives are essential right now.
At times, the reversed Queen of Swords can come across as cold-hearted, resentful and bitchy, particularly if she is devoid of any emotion or compassion for others. This card may represent a part of yourself or someone else you are trying to deal with. You may be putting others off-side and losing your supporter base, isolating yourself from others and being seen as narrow-minded, intolerant and mean.

While we keep bumping Pluto on and off our list of planets, astrologically, it still holds its ground. On January 20, Pluto will go in Aquarius, marking the final time the planet associated with death, destruction and the underworld will retrograde between the zodiac signs ruled by Saturn. Although the planet made a brief guest appearance in Aquarius between March 23 and June 11 last year, it plans a bigger move into Aquarius between January 20 and September 1, 2024 and will remain there with bag and baggage until March 8, 2043. For the last 15 years, Pluto has been in Capricorn, driving global institutions, organizations and empires to success but as it enters Aquarius, it will influence transformation, personal growth, power dynamics, sexuality, revolution and technology, pushing us to plumb the depths of our subconscious.
Why is this transit so influential?
Pluto takes about 248 years to orbit the sun and is one of the few planets that makes important moves only a few times during an average human lifetime. This sets the foundation for revolution, change and transformation for generations to come. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798 and this period was a game changer in the history of mankind with important events like The French Revolution and the Irish Uprising taking place during these years.
When will Pluto enter Aquarius?
As Pluto gears up to leave Capricorn on Jan 20, 2024 and stay in Aquarius until September 1, 2024, it gives us insight into the next two decades to follow. Gear up for an era filled with supportive collaborations where opportunities, connections and a turn of events that support a more altruistic theme of life become pronounced.
What are the big themes this transit brings forward for the zodiac signs?
Aries: Lone wolf era
While wolves are known to treasure their packs more than their independence, every year, a few wolves leave their packs to traverse landscapes alone seeking something higher and more meaningful: a sense of independence, a better understanding of themselves or a partner for keeps. Aries, these two decades are marked with courage, confidence and the ability to triumph over your fears. Journey on uninhibitedly to where you feel called.
Taurus: Embrace your potential
Intuitive living and not being afraid to stand out are the themes making the next two decades enthralling and noteworthy for you, Taurus. Be it breaking free from stagnant patterns in your life and relationships, breathing fresh air into your career or simply learning how to say ‘no’ to your fears and those taking advantage of you, a ton of goodness awaits you.
Gemini: The tough love era
From being drawn to mothering and smothering everyone around you to stepping into your Joan of Arc shoes, the next 20 years are bound to feel empowering and liberating. You will finally accept that just as you have responsibilities towards others you also have them towards yourself. The urge to be vulnerable will direct you into an era of your life where self-respect and self-worth are crucial. Go on—dole out some tough love and make things right.
Cancer: Become a badass lightning bolt
While you primarily focus on love and light, you may feel a push to tap into your dormant alter ego that is unafraid to strike. Personal growth, expansion and spiritual ascension mark the next two decades of your life where opportunities, people, support and just about anything you need appear through divine intervention in the nick of time. You are being fully supported for what could be called one of the best chapters of your life.
Leo: Tempered fires
You are likely to master the art of optimizing your fuel and creative flow and saying ‘yes’ only when it’s a ‘hell yes’. Expect to enjoy your downtime as much as you love being in the limelight. With this, you will unravel the mysteries that being in the flow brings with it.
Virgo: Vibin’ and tribin’
The next 20 years bring in a rapid shift within your relationship dynamics. The redundant falls off like a snake shedding its skin during moulting and you begin to choose your tribe based on how hassle-free the relationship feels. That being said, there is a focus on mastering healthy and effective communication as a reminder that there is a fine line between shedding and ghosting.
Libra: Leap of faith
While being the mediator comes naturally to you, the next chapter in your life courtesy of this transit is likely to make you communicate your exact emotions and move out of the ‘solo traveller’ theme of your heart. You are likely to come across many mirrors that will push you out of your comfort zone and make you question where you wish to pour your energies. Thankfully, the universe has your back so everything will work out just fine.
Scorpio: Abundance through awareness
Not only are you going to surprise yourself by how acutely aware you are of yourself and your environment but also by how you are willing to step beyond the familiar to let yourself slip into easy and mindful abundance. This is your period where you show them how it’s done without sweating it out.
Sagittarius: Smiling your way through hurdles
‘When it can be done with laughter, why pop bitter pills?’ is likely to be your motto in the coming decades. In addition to allowing your flirtatious, fun-loving nature to take centre stage, you are also happy to let it lead you to what feels fulfilling and purpose-filled. Trust your innate abilities to propel you forward.
Capricorn: Answered prayers
Expect things to flow into your life effortlessly in the years to follow. You are unlocking a lesson that teaches you to receive without climbing steep cliffs; in fact, you are reaping rewards for all your relentless work in the past. Expect to find your voice, new goals and new boundaries, perhaps even a set of new friends that feel like home. Feel your entire gamut of emotions but never forget that you deserve to thrive.
Aquarius: Destiny in your hands
This transit is likely to influence you the most, Aquarius. Not only are you ushering in a new age of light, but are also bringing forward healing and building a sense of community for yourself and those you cross paths with. Your natural instinct to create a haven for all is likely to receive a boost and the universe comes in to lend a helping hand. Gear up to live your life to its full potential both personally and professionally.
Pisces: Your utopian reality
Your dreamy vibe is likely to feel fully supported in the coming decades. You will thrive in the revolutionary, idealistic and collaborative energies that are being ushered in. Either on a personal level or on the professional front—or both—expect to find your voice and ways to get the ball rolling. Use the initial years to set the foundation for the blessings this transit is bringing your way. What you feel is right is right. Period.
