Romance, Love Or Relationships:

In relation to love, The King can mean that a strong, forceful, opinionated man may be part of the scenario. If this man is your beloved, it means that you are going to have to accept him as he is, and whether you are male or female, you’ll best deal with him by drawing on the feminine aspects of your nature. Don’t put up with being mistreated, however. This man can walk the line between being stereotypically manly, and overstepping his bounds. Protect yourself.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the King of Swords uses his sharp intellect and skill with words heartlessly to inflict harm on others. He may even delight in causing pain in a cruel and exploitative manner. Aggressive and domineering, he enjoys forcefully confronting others in an effort to make them squirm. His measure of justice is ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’

She had remained with him at the hospital and did not have access to a computer to get in touch with the group. Her life had been totally turned upside down. She was not sure when she could return to the group because she and her husband were facing nonstop visits with doctors, nurses, and therapists, and she didn’t know how long it would last. The image on the Ten of Swords card captured quite well her experience of her husband’s illness. Fortunately he was eventually released from the hospital and made a slow recovery, perhaps symbolized by the bright sunlight in the distant background on this card.
