\"Queen<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen of Swords says you have a sharp wit – a serious, good counselor who can give the right kind of help – having developed great spiritual depth through prolonged struggle, which reflects the mastery of a fair, objective, rational mind.  Centered – it is the observing mind which considers options fairly and demands the abandonment of pretense.  Always seeking clarity and truth – going beyond the masks and defenses to the depth of the person.  The counselor within awakens as she seeks clarification and desires to get to the bottom of things.  She symbolizes the connection between sorrow and wisdom – having faced sorrow with courage, acceptance and honesty, she has found wisdom.  She uses her intellect to free herself from confusion, doubt and fear.  She frowns at the world, while continuing to open her hand to it.  Though clouds gather around, her head remains above in the clear air of truth – for she recognizes that neither sorrow nor courage are restricted by gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be at peace with yourself – accept whatever happens without loosing your composure.  Let the \u201cnegative\u201d be absorbed by the light of your positive, healthy mind.  Seek the truth by seeing through the illusions.  Maintain a balanced mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
