What does Knight of Swords reversed mean?
Knight of Swords when it comes out upside down, blocked, internalised, or in excess, depending on how you read reversals.
Reversed
Aggression, tactlessness, rushing in without the facts. Argument as a hobby.
The last is the most recognisable: somebody for whom disagreement is recreational, who is enjoyable at a distance and exhausting to live or work with.
Also read for force that has run out of direction, where the speed has continued past the point where anybody could say what it was for.
Upright
Decisive, rapid action driven by conviction. Say it directly.
Excellent for arguments that need making and problems that need attacking, and genuinely valuable in situations where hesitation is the expensive option.
As a person he is the one who will say the thing in the meeting. That is worth a great deal and it is not the same as being right, and he does not reliably distinguish between the two.
Keywords
Upright: decisive action, directness, conviction, speed, ambition

Reading about a card is not the same as drawing one. A single-card reading takes about a minute and answers your question rather than a general one.
