Knight of Swords Tarot Card: Some people simply lack awareness

Sometimes people get to us, and we don’t even know they are getting to us. We may not even realize they are getting to us until we find ourselves reacting to them in ways that take ourselves quite by surprise. We can look at a person whom we respond to this way as a Knight of Swords.

A person with a Knight of Swords kind of personality can be pushy. They may not notice our personal boundaries and how they are pushing them. They probably mean no harm; they simply lack awareness of the space we need and the peace we are trying to hold onto. As they try to relate to us, they may push a little too hard to get into our zone of awareness and acceptance. It feel like they are jabbing their swords into the various lobes of our brain causing discomfort and discombobulation. We may react to this discomfort and discombobulation, even thought they have not realized they caused it. Now they feel hurt and confused and we feel guilty.

We must train ourselves not to feel guilty. We have a right to our personal space and boundaries. Try to come to an understanding with these Knight of Swords personalities and do your best to create space between you and them. If all the things you do when you react to them bothers them, then maybe it is best to avoid them because will they ever understand how they are affecting you. No harm may be intended, but plenty of discomfort is achieved. We can’t always control how we affect one another, but we can control our reactions. The Knight of Swords tarot card is a reminder of this.
