Knight of Swords, reversed

The Knight of Swords shows an armored soldier with sword drawn and heading into a fight.  We can also see a strong headwind blowing him in his face, as seen by the swayed trees and fast moving clouds.  This is someone taking a challenge head on or who could be quick tempered and causing a raucous without having all of the facts.

In the reversed position, however, the opposite meaning would hold true - patience and levelheadedness should prevail.  Analyze all of the facts before rushing into judgement, there could be obvious details that might be missed by making a quick or rash judgement.  Take a few steps back or leave the situation for a moment or a day then come back and look at things from a refreshed prospective, you just might find that what was assumed may not be what is.
