Queen of Swords (Spades)
Although seated on a comfortable throne and garbed in beautiful robes and jewels it is obvious the Queen is on her guard. She grips the unsheathed sword’s blade so tightly blood runs down the blade. She is haloed by a stained glass window with tulips and flames.
The Queen has every reason to be wary. Others may be trying to take her happiness and enjoyment from her. Life may be picking this particular time to throw such difficulties her way she is constantly on the defensive – with just cause. This card can signify a woman of loneliness, such as a widow who is going to have an impact on your life. The Queen may be calling you to use your quick wit and perceptive intelligence to get yourself out of a sticky situation. When she appears, make sure you aren’t being narrow-minded or prudish.
