Knight of Swords

The Knight of Swords shows is a person on a horse racing towards a situation with his sword fully drawn.  He's in battle armor and wearing a red cape.  This person is ready for a fight, which is represented by the armor while the red cape represents passion.  It would also appear that he is running into a strong headwind as the trees and clouds seem to be moving.

Sometimes situations require swift and decisive actions, sometimes they do not.  While the horse is obeying the rider and charging into the situation it would also appear that it is looking back at the rider as if to say, "is this really necessary?"

So the question is, does the situation require swift and decisive action?  If so, what are the ramifications?  What impact will this have on relationships?

The birds high above the horse and rider symbolize intuition and spiritual thoughts.  Taking time to pause and reflect on the situation could be in order before making quick decisions.
