PAWRACLE’S QUICK TIP

Queen of Swords Meaning: General
The Cat’s Perspective
“I see through your lies. I am not impressed by your treats if they are cheap.” As a White Persian—a cat that demands the premium kibble and a perfectly groomed coat—you are currently in a state of total mental independence. You don’t suffer fools, and you certainly don’t have time for games. You are in a place of total clarity. Your boundaries are born from experience. You have felt the sting of the “Three of Swords” in the past, and it has made you wise, discerning, and perhaps a little cynical. Use your sharp mind to set the rules of your own kingdom—your honesty is your protection.
Queen of Swords Meaning: Love & Relationships
You know what you want, and you won’t settle. You value intelligence and wit over sappy romance. You need a partner who can match your brain. If you are single, you are happily independent. You don’t need a human to open the can; you can figure it out yourself.
Queen of Swords Meaning: Career & Money
You are the expert. You communicate with precision. You are fair but firm. This is a great card for leadership. Make decisions based on facts, not feelings. Cut the fluff. Your clarity is your superpower.
