Osho Zen Tarot deck

Arcana description:

Sometimes control is appropriate, but if we put it in control of our lives, we become totally tough. The human figure is enclosed in the corners of the pyramids that surround him. Glare of light sparkles on their shiny surfaces, but does not penetrate inside. He is like a mummy inside this structure that he has built around himself. His fists are clenched, and his gaze is blank, almost blind. The lower part of his body under the table is the edge of a knife, a blade that cuts and severs. His world is predetermined and perfect, but he is not alive - he cannot allow any spontaneity or vulnerability to enter.

Direct position of the map King of the Clouds - Control:

The image of the Cloud King reminds us to take a deep breath, loosen the tie and take everything easier. If mistakes happen, that's okay. If things have gotten a little out of hand, this might be exactly what you need right now. Thus, you are much closer to life than when you are trying to manage everything.

The meaning of the map:

Controlled people are always nervous, because there is still a mess hidden in the depths. If you are uncontrollable, mobile, alive, then you are not nervous. It's not a matter of your nervousness - whatever happens will happen. You have no expectations for the future, you are not performers. Then why be nervous? To control such a mind, a person has to remain cold and frozen in order not to allow any vital energy to move in the limbs, in the body. If energy is allowed to move, these suppression will come to the surface. That is why people have learned to stay cold, to touch others, and yet not to touch them, to see people, and yet not to see them. People live with the cliché "Hello. How are you?" Nobody means anything. All this is just to avoid actually meeting two people. People don't look each other in the eye, they don't hold hands, they don't try to feel each other's energy, they don't allow each other to pour out - they are very afraid, managers, cold and dead, living in a straitjacket.

Direct position

The King of Swords speaks of a high level of intelligence, objectivity, versatility, flexible rational approach to life. A person under the influence of this Arcanum has many interests, he is an astute and intelligent person.

As a rule, the card falls to an authoritative person, to whom many people turn for advice. And a person, indeed, is able to give wise advice, recommendation, hint, as he has a remarkable mind of an advisor and a huge life experience.

The card has good meaning and the right strategy. A person is purposeful, capable of overcoming many obstacles. He will be distinguished by his leadership qualities, and money, literally, will stick to his hands. He is a leader who has managed to gain authority for himself. And the sword in his hand is not just some kind of symbol, it is a weapon. The person to whom he fell, Arkan realizes his power and leadership.

Inverted position

Under the influence of the inverted King of Swords card, a person becomes a cunning, cold cynic. He is able to step over anything for the sake of his own principles, which seem correct and useful to him.

The lasso is associated with intrigue, deceit and intimidation. In addition, the inverted King of Swords is often associated with injustice (someone has been offended or committed violence). A person becomes conflicted and cruel, he opposes the whole world.

In addition, Arkan indicates to the person that the time has not yet come for active actions, there is no specific task. In an inverted position, a person becomes very circumspect and fearful. He thinks wrong, his calculations are wrong, and his emotions are filled with hysteria and anger. A person behaves insidiously, dishonestly, unprincipled, vicious and cruel.

The King of Swords: Meaning in Love and Relationships

Direct position

A person does not want to take responsibility, he scorns his partner, experiments with his feelings, and puts only his own interests in priority.

True, Arkan not only carries a negative meaning, but in some ways even a positive one. For example, a person may have a clearer relationship when until recently there was no clarity. A person will be able to put an end to a relationship, but not in a mild form, which is why he will hurt another person, wounding his heart.

It is important to understand something else, it is better to suffer what happened now than to suffer later from a failed relationship. Each of them will be grateful to fate for the fact that this happened, because all unnecessary burdens, unpromising connections would somehow collapse anyway.

Inverted position

Arkan indicates that one of the partners in a relationship behaves dishonestly, is capable of deception, is ready to subjugate a partner. You can safely say that one of the partners builds their relationship with a person of convenience.

As a rule, the card speaks of a cynical, heartless and cunning person who is used to pointing out the flaws of a partner, criticizing him and manipulating him. It is not surprising if the outcome of such a relationship comes to a sad situation, because a crisis in the relationship, no doubt, exists.

The King of Swords: Meaning in a Situation and a Question

Direct position

The person will have many positive moments and activities. He will have incredible talent in his own business, he will be able to realize promising and successful ideas, and his other abilities. And we are talking, first of all, about a person who is able to achieve great results in life and business, to whom he will devote himself.

Even on this map, you can find out the type of human activity. He can be engaged in military affairs, politics, finance, law. And we are talking about those people for whom it is important to have a "cold head and warm heart." This means that a person should have a sense of purpose, common sense and logic, should be able to draw conclusions, and find some benefit from his own failures.

In a situation, Arkan means - the help of an influential person, good prospects in work, successful negotiations, successful development of new experience. The person will have the ability to persuade.

Inverted position

The card says that a person will strive to achieve his goal by various means. And it is possible that he will even disregard the law if he will repent that it is beneficial.

Usually Arkan falls out of a self-confident and aggressive personality. It is possible that they will want to remove him from their path, and sweep him from his post, up to and including dismissal. Blackmail and attempted intimidation are also visible here.

Under the influence of this Arkan, one can incur great material losses. It is no coincidence that the weather on the map is unfriendly, as, in principle, the King of Swords himself. There is hardly a single person who wishes to communicate with him of his own free will. Only this communication cannot be avoided.

King of Swords: Card of the Day Meaning

Fate presents the fortuneteller with an exam, where he needs to show his knowledge, ingenuity and the ability to use his own experience. The fortuneteller must prepare well for this test, and for this he must have convincing projects and arguments, well, it would not be superfluous to use his charm and wit.

A person will definitely show others his clear mind, especially in a situation that requires determination and action. But if suddenly on this day some problem appears that does not seem to be solved alone, then you can use the help of a knowledgeable specialist.

A fortuneteller has excellent trump cards, which simply cannot be missed, because under the influence of this card, a person has wit and logical thinking.

Tarot card meaning king of swords

The King of Swords Tarot: meaning in relationships, love, work

Courtyard cards sometimes frighten novice tarot readers due to the fact that they can be read in two variations - as a specific person or as a specific behavior.

Sometimes this creates a lot of confusion, especially when it comes to the relationship.

Today we will open the veil of secrecy over one of the court cards and consider the King of Swords Tarot, whose value will always be associated with high intelligence and the ability to make the right decisions.

General description of the card, plot and meaning in the layout

Let's turn to the plot first. A man in a crown and robes with a serious face sits on the throne. A sword is clamped in his hand, pointed upward.

The entire posture of a person speaks of decisiveness, ability to control oneself, high intelligence and self-confidence. A cloudy sky and trees are visible behind the throne.

Swords belong to the element of Air, which is associated with intelligence, thinking, therefore we can say that the value of the King of Swords Tarot will be associated with logical, reasonable, rational behavior.

Key words and ideas of the map in the layout

Let's take a look at compiling a complete list of key phrases that, if desired, can characterize the symbolic field of this court card.

Self-confident, determined person with high intelligence
Inspiration for new serious ideas
Striving for the set goals
Ability to use knowledge to achieve what was planned
Composure, critical approach
Ability to act confidently and correctly
Ability to make difficult decisions
Power, authority

Card value in an upright position

Immediately, we will warn you that we will consider the meaning of the Tarot card King of Swords in two guises, as we did with other curly cards. In the first case, we will describe the personality of a person to whom this Arcanum can indicate, in the second - the behavior and events that can occur when this card comes.

So, the first interpretation is a domineering, authoritative, strong and self-confident man. He has a high level of intelligence, he knows how to correctly apply the knowledge gained and use his ideas to resolve any issues. Such a person always relies on logic, facts, principles, therefore he practically never makes mistakes and is able to come out victorious from any dispute.

The second interpretation of the King of Swords Tarot is a situation in which a person needs to make an important but very difficult decision. It requires a critical approach to the situation, the ability to think logically, the ability to cut off everything unnecessary in order to draw the right conclusions.

The value of the card is upside down

What will our King report if he comes upside down in the layout? Firstly, this is a very aggressive or unprincipled person, one might say, a tyrant, prone to outbursts of anger and tantrums.

Instead of real facts, he always uses only assumptions, taking them for truth, so he is not able to make the right decisions. Secondly, it is the appropriate human behavior: making a wrong decision, imprudence, deceit, dishonesty.

Some tarot scholars believe that the meaning of the inverted King of Swords Tarot is not the right time to make decisions.

The value of the card when divining relationships and love

I wonder what the ruler of the element of Air will report if he falls out to us in a love situation? Let's figure it out.

Direct position

Any sentimentality is alien to such people, so you will not expect sympathy and tender expressions of care from them. But if something goes wrong, he can mentally crush his partner in a fit of cold rage.

Closure, love of freedom, coldness, inability to openly express one's feelings, the desire to keep a distance - these are the meanings of the King of Swords Tarot in love, so we can say that this court card is not at all very good for relationships.

Inverted position

A reverse Air ruler is much worse than a direct one.

In this case, the meaning of the King of Swords Tarot in love can be aggression, rage, scandals, unshakable confidence in one's own righteousness, although objectively a person is wrong, lack of moral principles - in a word, absolutely nothing good for a relationship. Sometimes, under this card, there are also hard partings, about which one can say "like they cut it with a sword."

The value of the card in the hands of health issues

Is this court card good for fortune telling on health, or will it again bring us some destruction? Let's see!

Direct position

The traditional meaning of the King of Swords Tarot in health is the ability to endure any pain, unwillingness to take care of one's own health, colds, various kinds of inflammation, osteochondrosis, and sometimes surgery.

Inverted position

The reverse card can strengthen or weaken its interpretation.

Then, instead of the inability to take care of our own health, we will get an overly reverent attitude towards it, when an ordinary scratch can provoke an attack of anger and aggression, and the slightest pain can cause a real hysteria.

If the value of the card increases, we get an almost masochist who is ready to decorate himself with scars, sincerely believing that they decorate him.

The value of the card in divination for personality analysis and psychological state

Describing the character of a person and the state of his soul with this card, we can safely use the general interpretation given above at the beginning of the article. Therefore, we will formulate briefly.

Direct position

Resolute, self-confident, skillfully operating with facts and logic, a person inclined to dominate. Very cold by temperament. On the psychological plane - a person who is alien to sympathy and sentiment.

Inverted position

A tyrant, a despot, a person subject to sudden outbursts of aggression and anger. The psychological aspect is the instability of the mental state.

The Significance of the King of Swords in Finance and Work

What will be the significance of the King of Swords Tarot in his work? What can this cold, tough and uncompromising card tell us?

Direct position

Professions corresponding to the map - any related either to the air (pilots, aviators, meteorologists), or to the security forces (police, military), or to activities requiring a sharp mind (lawyers, journalists, lawyers, writers, critics, psychoanalysts, experts ), as well as surgeons. If we ask about finances, then the card will talk about money earned by our own mind.

Inverted position

The boss is a tyrant, a person who does not know how to use his own intelligence in work, unwillingness to compromise even where the situation requires it. Financial losses due to their own inappropriate behavior.

The meaning of the King of Swords in combination with the Major Arcana

Arkan personifies the ruler, a kind of demigod who controls human destinies. The meaning of the Tarot The role of swords is rationality, objectivity, some kind of strong, authoritative person.

In inverted

The king of swords indicates coldness of feelings, inability to love, as well as careful hiding of your feelings under the guise of rejection. This is the so-called passion under the ice, which is difficult to get to, but if you have tasted the taste of this fire, everything else already seems insipid and gray.

Often card denotes a frivolous and frivolous relationship that will not lead to a serious relationship... The king may also present himself as a dangerous rival, a rejected fan who is obsessed with revenge. It can also be a woman's first love passion, which she cannot forget for many years.

If the King of Swords Tarot card falls out in the layout, then get ready to meet a person who will help, advise, and assist with his influence. As a rule, this is a man of age: wise, rational, intellectually developed. He can be a director, an official, a lawyer, or a doctor.

It is necessary to listen to the opinion or advice of such a person who will meet you on the way. His view of the situation and its resolution may differ from yours, contradict your principles and way of life. But you need to listen to his opinion in order to overcome difficulties and get what you want.

The value of the card provides for one hundred percent achievement of the intended goals with the help of a patron. This Arcanum can also characterize a person who has his own answer to everything, he cares about everyone and everything, he constantly tries to teach others the wisdom. His arrogance and the imposition of opinions provoke protest and antipathy.

Direct card position

In the upright position, the King of Swords has the same meaning as described above. This is the appearance of a patron and assistant in the image of a respectable influential man over 45 years old. Is he:

will solve the problem using status, connections and material opportunities;
give authoritative advice;
find a logical rational way out;
will protect your property;
will assist in business, work.

The King of Swords says there will be a patron over 45 to help with the work

Inverted card position

If the King of Swords is inverted in the layout, then this portends a meeting with a cynical person, a blackmailer, a sly man. Such a person costs nothing to step over everything for the sake of what he considers right for himself personally.

Set your ultimate goal and stay on track. Move along it with confidence, using your mind, prudence, logic and composure. As a card of the day, it foreshadows a situation where it will be necessary to show resourcefulness, the ability to think soberly and act strategically. On this day, you need to connect your skills, knowledge and experience, and everything will certainly work out.

Love and relationships

On the personal front, a fallout in the correct position of this Arcana suggests that a person's own interests and feelings come first. Such a person is not interested in the experiences of a partner. She is even able to experiment with the feelings of her soulmate.

The King of Swords in a relationship foreshadows situations when you have to sort things out, clarify incomprehensible situations, resolve misunderstandings. This will cause a storm of emotions, suffering, nerves and tears. But, having passed this stage, there will be peace, tranquility and acceptance of fate.

The inverted Arcanum in the sector of personal relations warns that one of the partners is cheating, trying to adjust for himself, completely control his soul mate:

in the style of clothing;
in demeanor;
in the selection of friends and the degree of closeness of relations with them;
materially and professionally.

The King of Swords in an inverted position - a man tries to control a woman

The Inverted King of Swords Tarot has the following meaning in the relationship sector: in love, there is cold calculation, instead of hot feelings.

If this Arkan characterizes your soul mate, then you got a cunning, cynical person as your life partner, who, at any convenient moment, will point out shortcomings, mistakes, and harshly criticize for everything.

It is difficult to build relationships with such a person and create a family hearth.

Profession and finance

In the upright position, the card has a positive meaning in the field of business relationships and careers.

She speaks of the presence of a business acumen, the ability to build promising schemes, create successful commercial projects.

If such a person sets himself the task of reaching any height in business, he will succeed, thanks to the ability to think analytically and logically. By this Arkan one can judge the profession of a person.

In most cases, it falls on politicians, business sharks, successful financiers, military generals.

All spheres of activity, where you need to argue in cold blood and act decisively, be able to draw conclusions even from failures and use this to your advantage in the future.

As the card of the day, the King of Swords in the career sector portends receiving support from an influential man, receiving a proposal for a top position and salary, and success in negotiations.

In the wrapped position, Arcanum testifies that, upon achieving the intended, a person disregards the laws, steps over others, not seeing obstacles in front of him.

This speaks of over-arrogance. There is another interpretation of this Tarot card: someone from the environment "sits on" you at work, blackmails, intimidates. Beware of material losses, losses.

Love and relationships

The inverted Arcanum in the sector of personal relations warns that one of the partners is cheating, trying to adjust for himself, completely control his soul mate:

in the style of clothing;
in demeanor;
in the selection of friends and the degree of closeness of relations with them;
materially and professionally.

The King of Swords in an inverted position - a man tries to control a woman

The Inverted King of Swords Tarot also carries the following meaning in the relationship sector: in love there is cold calculation, instead of hot feelings. If this Arkan characterizes your soul mate, then you got a cunning, cynical person as your life partner, who, at any convenient moment, will point out shortcomings, mistakes, and harshly criticize for everything. It is difficult to build relationships with such a person and create a family hearth.

Profession and finance

In the upright position, the card has a positive meaning in the field of business relationships and careers. She speaks of the presence of a business acumen, the ability to build promising schemes, create successful commercial projects. If such a person sets himself the task of reaching any height in business, he will succeed, thanks to the ability to think analytically and logically. By this Arkan one can judge the profession of a person.

In most cases, it falls on politicians, business sharks, successful financiers, military generals. All spheres of activity, where you need to argue in cold blood and act decisively, be able to draw conclusions even from failures and use this to your advantage in the future. As the card of the day, the King of Swords in the career sector portends receiving support from an influential man, receiving a proposal for a top position and salary, and success in negotiations.

In the wrapped position, Arcanum testifies that, upon achieving the intended, a person disregards the laws, steps over others, not seeing obstacles in front of him.

This speaks of over-arrogance. There is another interpretation of this Tarot card: someone from the environment "sits on" you at work, blackmails, intimidates. Beware of material losses, losses.

Courtyard cards sometimes scare novice tarot readers due to the fact that they can be read in two variations - as a specific person or as a specific behavior. Sometimes this creates a lot of confusion, especially when it comes to the relationship. Today we will slightly open the veil of secrecy over one of the court cards and consider the King of Swords Tarot, whose value will always be associated with high intelligence and the ability to make the right decisions.

General description of the card, plot and meaning in the layout

Let's turn to the plot first. A man in a crown and robes with a serious face sits on the throne. A sword is clamped in his hand, pointed upward. The entire posture of a person speaks of decisiveness, ability to control oneself, high intelligence and self-confidence. A cloudy sky and trees are visible behind the throne. Swords belong to the element of Air, which is associated with intelligence, thinking, therefore we can say that the meaning of the King of Swords Tarot will be associated with logical, reasonable, rational behavior.

Key words and ideas of the map in the layout

Let's take a look at compiling a complete list of key phrases that, if desired, can characterize the symbolic field of this court card.

Card value in an upright position

The value of the card is upside down

What will our King report if he comes upside down in the layout? Firstly, this is a very aggressive or unprincipled person, one might say, a tyrant, prone to outbursts of anger and tantrums. Instead of real facts, he always uses only assumptions, taking them for truth, so he is not able to make the right decisions. Secondly, it is the appropriate human behavior: making a wrong decision, imprudence, deceit, and dishonesty. Some tarot scholars believe that the meaning of the inverted King of Swords Tarot is not the right time to make decisions.

The value of the card when divining relationships and love

I wonder what the ruler of the element of Air will report if he falls out to us in a love situation? Let's figure it out.

Direct position

The first meaning of the King of Swords Tarot in a relationship is an indication of a partner who sees everything and notices everything. It is very difficult for a weaker soulmate to be next to such a person: stupid actions infuriate him, and romantic flair does not bring any pleasure. Any sentimentality is alien to such people, so you will not expect sympathy and tender expressions of care from them. But if something goes wrong, he can mentally crush his partner in a fit of cold rage. Closure, love of freedom, coldness, inability to openly express one's feelings, the desire to keep a distance - these are the meanings of the King of Swords Tarot in love, so we can say that this court card is not at all very good for relationships.

Inverted position

A reverse Air ruler is much worse than a direct one. In this case, the meaning of the King of Swords Tarot in love can be aggression, rage, scandals, unshakable confidence in one's own righteousness, although objectively a person is wrong, lack of moral principles - in a word, absolutely nothing good for a relationship. Sometimes, under this card, there are also hard partings, about which one can say "like they cut it with a sword."

The value of the card in the hands of health issues

Is this court card good for fortune telling on health, or will it again bring us some destruction? Let's see!

Direct position

Inverted position

The reverse card can strengthen or weaken its interpretation. Then, instead of the inability to take care of our own health, we will get an overly reverent attitude towards it, when an ordinary scratch can provoke an attack of anger and aggression, and the slightest pain can cause a real hysteria. If the value of the card increases, we get an almost masochist who is ready to decorate himself with scars, sincerely believing that they decorate him.

The value of the card in divination for personality analysis and psychological state

Direct position

Inverted position

A tyrant, a despot, a person subject to sudden outbursts of aggression and anger. The psychological aspect is the instability of the mental state.

The Significance of the King of Swords in Finance and Work

What will be the significance of the King of Swords Tarot in his work? What can this cold, tough and uncompromising card tell us?

Direct position

A person with authority, a boss, an analytical approach to work, the implementation of various strategies and concepts, an independent entrepreneurial activity. Professions corresponding to the map - any related either to the air (pilots, aviators, meteorologists), or to the security forces (police, military), or to activities requiring a sharp mind (lawyers, journalists, lawyers, writers, critics, psychoanalysts, experts ), as well as surgeons.
