Reversed, the Queen of Swords tells of a situation where you may be dealing with an insincere person or situation. Do not make any moves at this time as there are mis-truths, deceptions and/or upset plans. Remain aware of your own ideas and beliefs and do not confide in a woman who ‘pretends’ to be your ally and confidante  -  she is not.
