Knight of Swords as a person

As a person, upright

Driven, articulate and impatient with hesitation, this is someone who sees what needs doing and goes after it. They argue well, defend what they believe in, and get stuck situations moving. Gentler people may find them a lot to keep up with, and they can knock things over on the way.

As a person, reversed

This person's shadow shows up as aggression mistaken for honesty, or speed mistaken for progress. They may steamroll others in arguments and not notice the damage until later. Sometimes they run themselves into exhaustion. When they learn to aim before they charge, their courage becomes an asset again.
