King of Swords
The King of Swords is authority built on reason. Upright, it points to clear thinking, fair judgment, and leadership by principle rather than mood. Reversed, it points to intellect without conscience: rules bent to serve the ruler and cold logic used to control. The card asks what standard you are holding, and whether you hold yourself to it first.
