The Knight of Swords showed up in my “when” position, and now I’m confused about the timeline. I thought all knights were supposed to be weeks to months, but I don’t think that is the case here.
My reader said “swift,” but that could mean anything, really.
Does anyone have a more specific time frame they use for this card? Like actual days or weeks? I’m trying to plan around something and vague timing isn’t helping.

You might want to look at the timing with Tarot guide someone posted. It’s about more than just one specific card, like the Knight of Swords, to figure out time frames.
Knight of Swords timing can be confusing. The energy feels fast and immediate, but the actual event sometimes takes longer, especially for big life stuff. Traditional timeframes seem to apply more than you’d expect.
Been experimenting with timing in tarot and the knight cards have been pretty consistent for me.
The horses actually give you clues. Knight of Swords, that horse is moving fast. For timing questions related to communication, I usually see results within days to a week.
Knight of Wands is quick, too, but in a different way. More about passion and creative energy. With the Knight of Swords showing up, I’d guess 7-10 days for your answer, particularly if it involves messages or decisions. This card tends to speed things up.
Knights do bring action energy, but the suit changes the speed a lot. Pentacles knights take months to get things done, Wands knights can wrap things up in weeks, Cups knights go with the flow and take their time, and Swords knights are super quick.
Swords deal with the mental area and communication, so the Knight of Swords timing is basically instant. This knight gets results within days because thoughts and messages move fast. Your reader saying ‘swift’ fits with how quickly our minds work compared to our bodies or emotions.
Ah, the Knight of Swords and timing questions. Good luck with that one. This card never sits still, could mean tomorrow, could mean after the next Mercury retrograde.
Love how your reader went with ‘swift.’ Mine said ‘soon’ once and it took 11 months. We clearly weren’t on the same page about what soon meant. From what I’ve seen, this knight tends to show up once you stop watching for him. Usually talking days to weeks, but he has this habit of arriving at the worst possible moment.
Like when you’re mid-Netflix binge in your rattiest clothes. Typical air sign timing.
