Upright Meaning
The queen sits upright on her throne, her right hand holding the sword up, her left hand open, her face in profile, clear and calm. This is the intelligence of a woman who has been through pain, who has grieved, but has steadied herself, her words both sharp and fair. The Queen of Swords within you has learned to draw boundaries, she is not wounded by anyone's words and she gives no one empty words.
Love
An honest, somewhat distant but deep relationship, no games, a clear boundary.
Career
A leader, an advisor, the role of an arbiter, clear on matters of law and rights.
Yes / No
YES, on the condition of staying composed
Reversed Meaning
The clear mind has turned to hardness, or the pains of the past have poisoned the words. Sometimes the reversed Queen of Swords is a defensive woman who lets no one in, sometimes someone who has suffered and wounds those around her with that sharpness. Softening is needed too, but first comes seeing where that hardness came from.
Love
An old wound is cooling the present, the defences are very high.
Career
An overly critical voice is squeezing the team dynamic.
