The INDIAN TAROTS – King of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The King of Swords sits calmly in his throne and looks at the reader. This illustrates his master intellect and ability to get things done.

Armed with his sword, he tackles his problems head on. This level of authority is indicative of all king cards. The King holds his sword in his right hand and points it straight up. This illustrates his desire for truth and the moral backbone behind his intelligence.

There are butterflies in his throne. The butterflies here illustrate the dynamism of the sword suit through their metamorphosis. The background is the Shambhala or Shangri-La or Gyanganj, which is described as a mysterious place surrounded with snowy mountains in the Himalayas as per the Tibetan, Buddhist and Indian folklores. As per the folklore, Shambhala is a paradise on earth, cut off from rest of the world. People of Kali Yuga won’t be able to visit there and the citizens of Shangri-La live a peaceful and eternal life. The King of Swords is a rightful emperor of this mysterious place due to his strong ethical nature. As per Tibetan culture, butterflies symbolize impermanence, joy, freedom from worldly fixation and the blissful inner peace of enlightenment. They represent the beautiful and fleeting nature of life and awakening. Beside the butterfly, there are two sickles carved. On a fundamental level, they represent the harvest. On a deeper level, they illustrate the moon and the matriarchy. It means that masculinity and femininity are coexisting qualities and every human possesses both qualities together.

The King wears a light blue dress. The colour not only evokes the element of air, it also traditionally symbolizes spiritual maturity in Tarot. The trees in the background illustrate the fertility found in spiritual maturity. While other court cards in the minor arcana are in wastelands, the sword court cards are in an open green field, suggesting the potential for great things.

Upright meaning

The upright King of Swords represents authority, leadership, and intellect. It suggests that you’re able to think critically and make decisions with confidence and authority. The card encourages you to use your analytical skills and your ability to communicate effectively to lead others.

Reverse meaning

The reversed King of Swords can indicate abuse of power, manipulation, or a lack of fairness. It suggests that you may be using your intellect and authority to control or manipulate others, or that you’re not being fair in your decision-making. The card encourages you to be mindful of how you use your power and to prioritize fairness and justice in your leadership.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Queen of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Queen of Swords uses her master intelligence to help those around her. Instead of using her sword to cut others down, she uses it to defend other. The queen rules unbiasedly, and commands the element of air to breathe life into the world she lives in.

Unlike the charging Knight of Swords, the Queen is able to enact her vision while stationary on her throne. This position speaks volumes on her authority as she manages other people to do the work for her. Calm and collected, the Queen reminds us not to be brash but to be calculated in our intellectual pursuits. The crown that the Queen wear is a symbol of her authority on earth. Butterflies on her throne illustrate the lightness of her mind. She is not bogged down with details or chained to some previous trauma that is causing arrested development. Her mind is free and open to new ideas.

The Queen is in the beautiful Gulmarg Valley (valley of flowers) in Kashmir. There are butterflies in the Queen’s throne and around her. Reiterating the qualities of the crown, the butterflies illustrate the dynamism of the sword suit through their metamorphosis. As per Tibetan culture, butterflies symbolize impermanence, joy, freedom from worldly fixation and the blissful inner peace of enlightenment. They represent the beautiful and fleeting nature of life and awakening. There is a child’s head carved in the flag. This could represent the childlike innocence and sense of wonder necessary to wield your intelligence masterfully. A child’s head could also illustrate the subconscious part of our intelligence.

Beside the child’s head, there are two sickles carved in the throne. On a fundamental level, they represent the harvest. On a deeper level, they illustrate the moon and the matriarchy. 70% Indians consume wheat (atta), Northern states like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh are major producer of this crop. The Queen holds her sword in her right hand and points it straight up. This illustrates her desire for truth and the moral backbone behind her intelligence. While the previous court swords extended beyond the limits of the card, the Queen requires no performance of her authority.

Upright meaning

The upright Queen of Swords represents clarity, independence, and objectivity. It suggests that you’re able to see the truth of a situation clearly and make decisions based on logic and reason. The card encourages you to prioritize your own needs and to be independent in your thinking and decision-making.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Queen of Swords can indicate coldness, harshness, or a lack of empathy. It suggests that you may be too detached or analytical in your thinking, or that you’re not considering the emotional needs of others. The card encourages you to find a balance between logic and empathy in your decision-making.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Knight of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Knight of Swords is the most energetic card in all of tarot. The knight and horse leap into the card, charging against the wind to some unknown destination. This card encourages us to take charge and to determine our own future with the same level of passion.

As always, the knight here is a symbol for dynamic action. This knight takes that symbolism literally and is charging forward like a gust of wind. The knight in the swords suit is the most energetic and thus encourages you to be the most energetic you have ever been.

The knight in the swords suit is one of the most heavily armored knights in the minor arcana. While the knight is rushing into battle, he does so deeply prepared. Maybe, the knight is a soldier, trying to defend the land of Bharat from foreign invasion or even terrorists in POK and bring peace to the normal citizens through sheer force. Like the sword in the Page card, the sword here extends beyond the limits of the frame, suggests a larger-than-life quality in the weapon.

Like the knight, the horse is rushing into battle with wind in its hair. The great horse not only adds to the powerful energy in the card, its white colour suggests that the knight’s battle charge is pure of spirit. In juxtaposition with the masculine, dynamic energy, the horse’s reins have a butterfly design on them. While this design seems in conflict with the knight, it helps illustrate the airiness of the card. Additionally, the butterflies reiterate the card’s dynamism through their metamorphosis. The soldier is eager to bring change in situations. The entire environment in the card matches the energy of the knight. For instance, the trees in the background bend to the force of the wind. The direction of the trees reveal that the knight is charging against the wind.

Upright meaning

The upright Knight of Swords represents action, ambition, and decisiveness. It suggests that you’re ready to take action and pursue your goals with determination and confidence. The card encourages you to use your intelligence and analytical skills to make quick and effective decisions.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Knight of Swords can indicate recklessness, impulsiveness, or aggression. It suggests that you may be acting without thinking things through or that you’re being overly aggressive in your pursuit of your goals. The card encourages you to slow down, think things through, and consider the consequences of your actions.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Page of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Page of Swords uses the swords as a weapon for the exploration of thought. It is an encouragement to seek out new experiences and to take risks. With the page’s flowing hair and with the birds in the background, it also lays the groundwork for the other face cards to illustrate the element of air.

The page’s posture is one of the many paradoxes found in Tarot. His body is facing the right of the card while his head is facing the left of the card. The page is thus in the past and future, mimicking the figure in the Seven of Swords without the underlying thievery. The page also sets an example for the other face cards, for, despite his small frame, he is able to wield the sword like a master. Similar to his posture, the page’s feet are a paradox. One foot is planted firmly on the ground while the other one is free to move around. This reveals the page’s agility and grace. He can be on the offensive with his sword as well as on the defensive with evasive manoeuvres.

The page’s hair waves gloriously in the wind as he stands in the valley of Kashmir. This illustrates the element of wind found throughout the sword’s suit. It also reiterates the page’s agility previously seen through his feet. The page is as light as air and as powerful as wind. As previously mentioned, despite the page’s small frame, he wields the sword like a master. This is more impressive when one considers the size difference between the page and the sword. Extending beyond the limits of the card, the sword is larger than life.

Upright meaning

The upright Page of Swords represents curiosity, intellectualism, and communication. It suggests that you’re eager to learn and explore new ideas, and that you’re able to express yourself clearly and effectively. The card encourages you to use your mental agility and curiosity to gain knowledge and understanding.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Page of Swords can indicate dishonesty, manipulation, or a lack of communication. It suggests that you may be struggling to express yourself or that you’re using your intellect for negative purposes. The card encourages you to be honest and transparent in your communication and to avoid deceitful behaviour.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Ten of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Ten of Swords marks the end of the numbered card in the swords suit. Naturally, therefore, the card is about endings. It depicts a dead man in a battlefield; maybe this is a depiction of the lost lives in Kashmir riots that are caused by religious and political tension. Rather than harping on the lost, however, the card encourages us to focus on the peace, glory, and rest that comes with endings.

A red cloth covers a part of the figure’s body. Like in most tarot cards, the color red symbolizes passion and zeal. The cloth is a representation of the figure’s strength and courage in the battle he has fought. The figure is making the hand gesture for Vitarka Mudra, which is related to consciousness and knowledge. This further iterates the glory underneath the macabre scene. The lost life wants everyone to become conscious.

The darken sky is a reflection of the darken room in the Nine of Swords. It is the dark night of the soul played out in reality. The sky illustrates the atmosphere of the macabre found in the card. Juxtaposing the darken sky is the rising morning underneath it. The yellow sky represents the hoped-for enlightenment depicted in the Nine of Swords. The morning further iterates the hidden glory underneath the figure’s death. Beyond the figure’s body is a vast water body, like the Daal Lake in Kashmir valley. Unlike oceans, the water is still without any hint of waves. The stillness of the water directly relates to the stillness of the body. Indirectly though, the water hints at a level of peace that the figure must be feeling now that he has died.

Upright meaning

This card often represents betrayal, endings, and hitting rock bottom. It suggests that you may be experiencing a painful loss or a sense of defeat, and that you may need to accept that something has come to an end. The card encourages you to find a way to pick up the pieces and to move forward.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate healing, recovery, or a new beginning. You may be finding ways to heal from past wounds or to start over in a new direction. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding hope and positivity in your life.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Nine of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Nine of Swords depicts a figure waking up from a bad dream. Above him hovers the nine swords. The card is an allusion to the dark night of the soul where a person faces an existential crisis. While the card contains pain, it also contains the hope that this dark night will turn into a bright morning of enlightenment.

The figure in the card is seen in a state of shock and epiphany. He buries his face in their hands to reveal his disbelief. This posture illustrates the painful aspect of enlightenment, sometimes referred to the dark night of the soul. The nine swords float above the figure, as if they are a representation of the figure’s epiphany. The swords are notably caught in the light, creating a juxtaposition between them and the black background. The arrangement of the swords conveys a sense of pattern and design to the figure’s epiphany.

The black background further illustrates the concept of the dark night of the soul. It tells of the suddenness and unexpected nature of spiritual epiphanies. Through the black background we are able to see the void within the figure’s consciousness. Along the bedframe, there is carved people fighting each other. This carving illustrates the conflicting voices within the figure’s psyche. Such a disharmony naturally comes from states of spiritual epiphanies. On one hand, you have your old beliefs and on the other you have your new encounter.

If the carving represents the figure’s disharmony, the roses on the bed represent the figure’s harmony. Like a rose, there is an undeniable beauty in spiritual revelations. They can shock us out of our sleep and also comfort us back to rest. There are various zodiac symbols on the quilt. Like the arrangement of the swords the zodiac symbols (Raashi) point to a divine plan or design. Spiritual epiphanies naturally come from an endorsement of the cosmos.

Upright meaning

This card often represents anxiety, fear, and worry. It suggests that you may be experiencing a sense of dread or unease, and that you may be struggling to find peace of mind. The card encourages you to take steps to address your worries and to seek support if needed.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate relief, release, or a reduction in anxiety. You may be finding ways to cope with your worries or to let go of past fears. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding a sense of peace and tranquillity in your life.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Eight of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Eight of Swords depicts a bounded figure surrounded by a cage of swords. This card appears whenever we feel trapped by outside forces. While the figure appears to be in a hopeless situation, the card allows for the possibility that they could escape their bonds and be free.

The Eight of Swords depicts a woman bound from head to toe. These bounds suggest a limit of thought. They are a manifestation of her caged mind. While it appears that she is trapped, the bounds look easily escapable because of its thinness. This implies that the woman’s mental limits can be overcome through self-realization.

Along with the bounds, the woman is blindfolded. The blindfold limits the intellect. In order for the woman to reach spiritual maturity, she must first remove the blind so that she can tie it on her own. The eight swords around the woman reiterate the parody of the blindfold. The swords should be tools used by the woman to cut the binds; they should be extensions of her. Instead, they trap her and limit her mobility. The swords emphasize the need to reclaim oneself from self-delusion. Water near her feet symbolises subconscious. It tells that though she is physically bound, her mind is still free.

The woman’s red clothing matches the paradox found in the clothing of the man in the Seven of Swords. The red illustrates the woman’s passion and zeal; however, the surrounding environment suggest that her emotions are consuming her. The card thus calls for a balance. There is water behind the woman. Like most of the water symbolism found in the Swords suit, the water here illustrates the woman’s connection to her subconscious. While her body is trapped, the woman still has the power of her mind; it is up to her to use it to set herself free. Behind the woman is a large castle. The security of the castle is juxtaposed with the insecurity of the sword cage. The castle is built to protect a person while the swords and binds are built to limit the woman. The castle furthers the interpretation that the woman needs to regain control of her surroundings and to use them for her advantage rather than her disadvantage.

Upright meaning

This card often represents feeling trapped, restricted, or powerless. It suggests that you may be limiting yourself or allowing others to control you, and that you need to find a way to break free. The card encourages you to trust your instincts and to find a way to regain your power.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate freedom, release, or a shift in perspective. You may be finding ways to overcome your limitations and to break free from any negative patterns or beliefs. The card suggests that you may need to take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Seven of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Seven of Swords appears when you are hiding from something. The card depicts a man sneaking away from a military camp, while stealing five swords. This could be interpreted as either we are hiding our actions from others or are hiding our actions from ourselves and are in a state of denial.

The figure is a paradox. On one hand, he is walking forward; on the other hand, he is looking backwards. This inconsistency suggest that the man is sneaking away from where he was. His sly smile reinforces this interpretation. The man is walking on his tippy toes. This adds to the interpretation that he is sneaking away from somewhere. The red of his shoes illustrates the man’s passion while suggesting that his emotions have outweighed his intellect.

The constructions in the background convey civilization. Coupled with what the man is holding, it becomes clear that the man is stealing weapons from a military camp weaponry. It is possible that it shows the India-China conflict where China is using some strategies to put India in trouble. From a different viewpoint, it may be a Tibeti monk who is stealing weapons to stop war. While his motive is unclear, the nature of his actions indicates secrecy. The five swords in his hand are a parody of the Five of Swords card. While in that card there is at least the possibility that the man won the swords in a justified fight, in this card it appears obvious that the man’s intent is scandalous. The two swords that the figure has left behind is again a parody of the Five of Swords. Unlike in that card, these two swords left behind could be used as evidence of the man’s misdeeds. They invoke carelessness and guilt.

Upright meaning

This card often represents deception, theft, or secrecy. It suggests that someone may be trying to deceive or manipulate you, or that you may be tempted to act dishonestly yourself. The card encourages you to be cautious and to think carefully before taking any action.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate honesty, openness, or a release of guilt. You may be finding ways to be more truthful or transparent in your relationships, or you may be letting go of any guilt or shame you’ve been carrying. The card suggests that you may need to be honest with yourself and others in order to move forward.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Six of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Six of Swords illustrates our journey in-between environments. Perhaps we are transitioning to a new job or a new environment. The Six of Swords captures the ambiguity of the future without harping on any regret.

The ferryman is an illustration of the swords suit in that he exercises his conscious control over the subconscious waters. He is a mediator between the intellect and the real world, much like the sword is. In relation to the woman on board, he also illustrates masculine energy. A passenger on the boat, the woman in the card illustrates us as we sail through life. We only see her back, so it is difficult to understand the woman’s mood in her journey. In relation to the ferryman, she also illustrates feminine energy. The child has no authority in this card; he is just along for the ride. He therefore represents our indecisions and unconscious passivity. Together, with the ferryman and woman, the child completes this portrait of a family. Just like, in Kailash, Lord Shib resides with Ma Durga and their child Ganesh.

The six swords in the card are stabbed upright at the front of the boat. Together they block the view of the ferryman and add unnecessary weight to the boat. They therefore represent the emotional baggage that we sometimes carry around without, consciously or unconsciously.

The rippled water to the right of the boat symbolizes the fluidity of our subconscious as if river Ganga is flowing from Gangotri. Paired with the still water to the left of the boat, Manas Sarobar that the boat sails in illustrate the paradox of our being. The still water to the left of the boat symbolizes the constant of our will or consciousness. Paired with the rippled water to the right of the boat, the ocean that the boat sails in illustrate the paradox of our being.

Upright meaning

This card often represents transition, moving on, and progress. It suggests that you’re leaving behind something that no longer serves you, whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a belief. The card encourages you to trust your intuition and to follow your heart.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate stagnation, resistance to change, or fear of the unknown. You may be holding onto something that you know is no longer good for you, or you may be afraid to take the next step. The card suggests that you may need to take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Five of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Five of Swords illustrates the aftermath of a disagreement. The card questions the validity of an argument won if the means to that victory involved pain. The Five of Swords asks us to take a look at the process we use to reach our objectives. In other words: ends do not justify means.

A large man is depicted in the foreground, picking up fallen swords. It is unclear his relation to the two other figures in the card. Perhaps they all had a fight and the large man won. Perhaps he is thinking of attacking them while their backs are turned. Perhaps he is looking at the other two people and is thinking about his younger self. Two figures are seen walking away from the man with the swords. Perhaps they are walking away in defeat. Perhaps they are unaware of the man with the swords. In any case, these figure’s depiction adds a sense of melancholy and lost to the card.

The two swords on the ground are the tools we haven’t used or forgot about. Perhaps they are the swords of the two figures walking away. In that case, they can represent defeat or our shortcomings. Likewise, the three swords in the man’s arms can represent resourcefulness and being prepared. On the flip side, they could also illustrate hoarding and being a miser about resources. The water in the Five of Swords is the holy Ganga, which flows with roar and is responsible for the fertile grounds. Water represents the subconscious coupled with the intelligence. Perhaps this indicates that the man with the swords is out of touch with his subconscious.

Upright meaning

This card often represents conflict, betrayal, and defeat. It suggests that you may have won a battle, but at a cost to your relationships or your integrity. The card encourages you to be aware of the consequences of your actions and to find a way to make amends.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate reconciliation, compromise, or a release of tension. You may be finding ways to repair a relationship or to let go of past conflict. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding a way to move forward in a positive direction.
