She definitely gets a bad rap - always looking dour and grim. Her virtues are always glossed over in favor of descriptions of her as "unhappy." <BR/><BR/>I think your description is truer to the spirit of the Swords suit. She *is* a Queen, after all - about time she got some respect!Heavy Metal Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17169509663013429588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-1159034764151193152006-09-23T14:06:00.000-04:002006-09-23T14:06:00.000-04:00Queen of Swords is one of my significators. I have an affinity for her. It has always annoyed me to find predominantly negative meanings for her. All courts have both positive and negative and this one seemed to garner such overwhelmingly negative meanings, I smelled a rat. Independent, smart, strong women have often been called "bitches" -- so there was the reason. I won't deny her negative traits, they are every bit a part of her, but why should they be emphasized any more than the positive? Waite's meanings show her a sad case whether upright or reversed.
