Dignified:     The King of Swords represents a fair-minded individual that serves justice in the truest sense of the word.  He is honest, trustworthy, and usually has a highly respected position in society.  He may be a judge or an elected official that tries to truly represent the constituents beneath him.  The King of Swords is highly intelligent and he is dedicated to balancing out his emotions with genuine wisdom and experience.  He is a good listener and will offer advice that can readily be depended upon.  The King of Swords signifies strength, dedication, and genuine concern for the good of all people.  At times he can be vehemently unemotional and care less for ethics and more for punishing immoral behavior.  The King of Swords is a man of high opinion and he will apathetically bestow his feelings upon others regardless of how they believe.  He is the King of law and demands respect of the law to the letter.  He is the father who sets strict rules of the household and he makes it his high priority to see that they are rarely ever broken.  He is justice in the truest form and his nature can be quite unrelenting.

Ill-Dignified:      In a reversed position the King of Swords represents a man who is biased, dishonest, and cannot be trusted.  The King of Swords reversed depicts a man that has little to no concern for the law and a man willing to fight with others even when he knows that he is wrong.  He is a prideful and arrogant tyrant willing to strike down anyone or anything that gets in his way.
