General Introduction
The King of Swords has a powerful energy and any literal person he represents is likely to be powerful, forceful, strong-willed, and opinionated. Any or all of those could apply.
If he does represent someone you know then you need to understand that you are not likely to be able to change his mind on anything that he has already made it up on. If you are trying to get him to change his mind on something, or to do what you want him to do, then you would be better off forgetting it.
If the King is not a literal person then he can indicate that you are possibly being a little selfish. Are you only considering your side of the equation? Is getting what you want detrimental to someone else? Are you really more entitled to get what you want than they are? The King is telling you to consider the thoughts and feelings of others.
Friends and Family
The King of Swords is likely to be a very stubborn and self-opinionated member of your family. Unfortunately, not every literal person represented by the King lives up to the King’s highest ideals. Putting it another way, he’s likely to be a real pain to deal with. Think Archie Bunker without the bigotry and you’ve probably got some idea of the problem.
Whether he is your problem directly or indirectly doesn’t really matter because either way it is going to be a problem. You will almost certainly have to draw boundaries and be prepared to defend them.
If you are female then use your femininity to your best advantage. If you are male and don’t feel that you have a feminine side to draw on (you do, but it is your right to think otherwise) then try and avoid making it a mano a mano deal.

Love and Relationships
Most times the King of Swords will be a literal person where love is concerned. If you are in a relationship then you need to understand that he is who he is and you are not going to change him, so you will need to accept him as he is. When you think about it – you don’t have the right to change him any more than he has the right to change you so don’t be put out.
All the traits that make the King a strong man are also the same traits that can make him difficult to live with. He can often overstep boundaries if you are not careful, so you will need to make sure you stand up for yourself and don’t let him get away with treating you like a doormat. He will respond best to the feminine side of your nature.
If you are looking for love then the King is likely to represent the next possibility to cross your path. Knowledge is power so they say, so make sure you know your “enemy.” The King is not a bad man but he is a powerful one and you need to be sure you understand what you’re getting into.
Spiritual Growth
When the King of Swords appears it is an indication that you are one of those people for whom a belief has to make sense mentally. That’s fine, blind belief is not required for you to be a spiritual being or for you to enhance your spirituality.
Make the effort to deepen your existing beliefs and practices and, if possible, to seek out new belief systems and see what information you can glean and what insights strike you. Any spiritual source may benefit you in some way.
Meditate on what you learn and you may be surprised at the new degree of clarity that is yours.
Work and Career
The King of Swords at work is likely to manifest itself as someone that you find particularly annoying or irritating. Perhaps because of the way he does and says things you have started to resent him.
The truth of the matter though, is that he is not as bad as you think and you need to stop being so sensitive. He is only doing his job and anything you take offence to is not meant personally.
If you are looking for work then a possibility is coming your way. The King here is likely to be a literal person who is in a position to hire you. You will need to impress him though, so make sure you are knowledgeable about all the aspects of the job you are applying for.
Message from Spirit
Meditation can be the pathway to a deeper understanding of not only yourself, but all that is.
