Reversed

 

​

The warning with this Knight is that patience is not one of his strong points, so he can rush into things without thinking it through. He can be headstrong and blunt in his approach. At times this Knight is not to be trusted and will have no problem deceiving others to get what he wants. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your mind sharpened, but avoid shouting off too soon.
