About the image: The King of Swords from the Rider-Waite deck. This King sits on a tall, white throne decorated with butterflies, the symbol of the psyche. There are clouds on a blue-gray sky behind the throne. The King wears a blue and orange robe covered with a purple cape. They wear a gold crown and a red head cover. They hold an upraised sword in their right hand. The throne appears to be on the top of a mountain and there are tall trees and a distant lake in the background. 

Each Tarot card offers us a Gift, Invitation, and Challenge. Before you read on, decide which one the King of Swords has for you today. Please let us know in the comments what your choice was and how the answer applies to you.

Invitation

The King of Swords Invites you to create plans and strategies towards the concrete achievement of your goals and visions.
 
Challenge

The Challenge offered by the King of Swords is to raise your standards and embrace truth and transparency. It might be easier and more comfortable to let others believe things that aren’t true, or to engage in deliberate deception, but you need to do the right thing, not the easy thing. 

(Hint: the Gift is the grace that is already given us to overcome the Challenge, so if you chose the Challenge, also see the Gift.)
