Upright meaning
Charging with the blade out and no interest in the terrain. Fast, direct, intellectually forceful — excellent at cutting through, poor at considering consequences.

Knight of Swords reversed
Aggression without aim, or an argument pursued past the point of usefulness.
Reversal does not flip Knight of Swords into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to rashness, aggression, no follow-through.
In love
Intense and blunt. Exciting, not gentle, rarely patient.
