Knight of Swordsfor Aquarius
"Action isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A knight riding in full armour, as if scattering his enemies. A prototypical hero of romantic chivalry; he might almost be Galahad, whose sword is swift and sure because he is clean of heart. Swords represent thoughts and knights represent a hero or adventurer. Together the knight of swords represents resistance to lies and injustice. A valiant figure willing to fight for what they believe. They bring you hope in a time of darkness, that truth will prevail and all is not lost.
The knight helps us be brave and take immediate action. You are called to take a stand, especially in the written word. Be assertive and forward. In a romantic way, this card can mean someone is being very forward with you (or perhaps you will get a love letter confession soon). The knight can be a little overeager, but they are honest in their actions.
You are overly confident (or dealing with someone who is over confident). True confidence comes from a sense of your own ability and knowledge of your own limits. Be honest with your own short comings and do not fear them or over/understate them. Over confidence masks a deep sense of insecurity so beware of an extremely overconfident boss/lover/friend.

Knight of Swords for Aquarius
The Visionary
Aquarius is an Air fixed sign ruled by Saturn, whose natural subject is friendship, community, the collective, the long future. Swords are the air suit, so the Knight of Swords sits in Aquarius. That makes this Aquarius's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Aquarius already believes it is good at: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. Aquarius is fixed: it holds on, and this card is about an ending, which is the specific move fixed signs will delay the longest. Air meeting its own element is amplification, which raises the sign's strengths and its usual failure by the same amount. Upright, this is the element at full speed with nothing slowing it down.
