The Queen of Swords is someone who can help or advise about an idea, problem, communication issue, or strategy. She is smart and experienced by having lived through both good times and bad. She will have ideas and advice about how to best achieve a goal. Consult her when working on a plan. She is particularly adept at exposing deceit and seeing the truth of a matter, and she will express these plainly. She likely has her own agenda and can alter reality with a few well-chosen words. Double-check her suggestions against your own logic before jumping in. If she were to give one piece of advice, it would be this: you need a plan, so here's what we'll do ...
The Universal Waite queen shows an exaltation of the mind and logic. She resembles the figure of Justice, indicating her ability to cut through any mess and determine clearly what must be done. The birds and butterflies symbolize her high and lofty thoughts. She sits on higher ground, among the clouds, showing that a mind put to good use is unclouded and able to see clearly.
Core meaning: One who develops and cares for others in the realm of ideas, systems, or communication.
The Legacy queen shows the dangerous side of logic and words. She can cut through any chaos and reveal the crux of an issue. She will see the clearest, if not the kindest, solution.
In the Shadowscapes card, the queen sees all things through the lens of logic, as represented by the sword she holds before her face. The transformative power of truth is indicated by the butterflies. She is also farsighted, symbolized by the swan, which starts out as an ugly duckling but in time reveals its powerful beauty.
