Getting to Know the Queen of Swords

The Queen of Swords is nobody’s fool, nor does she suffer fools gladly. In fact, gladness and lightheartedness are not a major characteristics of hers. She is well read, well spoken and has experienced many of life’s sorrows first-hand. Her intelligence lends itself equally to science, the humanities and fine art. She has a good eye and is sometimes a trendsetter or thought leader.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
~ Helen Keller

While her own tongue may be sharp at times, she appreciates diplomacy and avoids tactless people like the plague.

Variations of the Queen of Swords

She can be seen as the spinster or widow who enjoys being single and would rather spend her free time in the library than at a social event. At times, she shows up as a career woman who values learning and career advancement over motherhood. She can be judgmental.

In love and romance, she tends to follow her head rather than her heart and she can be notoriously picky. Is there anybody good enough for her out there? Maybe, but he’d better qualify for MENSA – dumbasses need not bother!

Her divine role as an Angelic Human is to nurture others with her hard-won words of wisdom. She can be a late bloomer who holds herself back out of perfectionistic tendencies and self-doubt. Sometimes, she struggles with trusting her heart and tends to default to trusting her analytical ability more. This is great for her career but not so great in love.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Affirmation: “I nurture those around me with words of wisdom.

The Queen of Swords in Love and Relationships

So you have the hots for the Queen of Swords, huh? Want the lowdown and learn how to win her mind? Yes, I said mind. She often considers romantic love too cheesy to consult her heart. That’s not to say she won’t fall in love but it has to make sense to her.

The Queen of Swords is usually heavy on the Element of Air in her chart. Her Sun or Rising sign is likely to be Gemini or Libra. She gets off on the subtleties of word usage but sometimes enjoys sarcasm to the point of turning into a bit of a beotch.

Pros

She is witty and holds her own in any conversation which definitely helps in a first date scenario. Less of the ‘awkward silence’ moments! She has an opinion about lots of things but is usually tactful enough to avoid coming across as arrogant.

She’s too level-headed to fall head over heels in love or start planning what she’s going to name your children after the second date.

She’s fair and not prone to emotional manipulation.

Least likely to aim for ‘kept woman’ status.

Cons

She might struggle with making her mind up and usually doesn’t mind dating (or talking to) a few guys at the same time. Develop an intelligent strategy to capture her mind if your intent is to capture her heart long-term.  If you’re insecure about your own intellectual prowess, you would do better looking elsewhere. (I.e. if you had to Google the meaning of the word prowess.)

Also, if you’re the type of guy who thinks a good woman should talk less and cook more, this one’s not for you! Prepare to fork out for meals and takeaways. Don’t worry, she’ll usually offer to go Dutch in the name of fairness and equality. The kitchen simply isn’t her domain; she has more important things to do, don’t you know!

She’s not very forgiving.

How to win the heart of the Queen of Swords

The first date would be somewhere quiet where you can talk and get to know each other. If you’re lucky enough to get more than one date, take her somewhere intellectually stimulating or for a hike in Nature if her mind is buzzing and she needs to ground. You probably won’t need to guess which would be the better option as she’s likely to tell you.

Always remember that her brain is her biggest erogenous zone. She might get off on dirty talk. But make sure you get to know her very well first before you broach the topic. Foot-in-mouth disease is not something she forgives in a hurry.

Her best match: The King of Wands, because a) visionary men (yes, plural) tickle her mind and b) she’s not too attached to her homeland to go roaming the world with him.

Her worst match: The Knight of Cups as a) she might try to diagnose him with something because of his emotional ups and downs and b) because his love poems leave her cold.

Situation, Challenge, Opportunity and Action Advice

Situation: Criticism (warranted or unwarranted) makes up this situation

Challenge: Avoid harsh criticism, try the ‘shit sandwich method’ and remember that a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down

Opportunity: A chance to nurture with words, a literary project

Action Advice: Focus on creating harmony with your words
