Reversed Knight of Swords as Reconciliation

If you are asking about how your ex feels about reconciling with you, and you draw the Knight of Swords reversed, it means that your ex is more sad about their loss of control over you, than actually losing you.

When your ex thinks about reconciliation with you, they feel annoyed. After breaking up, they lost their control over you and your life and it annoys them to no end. They hate not being able to dictate everything you do. They are a complete control freak and, honestly, your breakup was a good thing. You deserve to be heard and listened to.

If you’ve recently split up, Knight of Swords reversed means that it’s possible that your ex will reach out to you.

If you’ve been in separation for a while, Knight of Swords reversed means that the time passed has only angered your ex more. Your ex obviously isn’t a good fit for you, or almost anyone, and it’s better to move on. Don’t fall for their sweet talk. They are only being nice to win you back so that they can control you again, rather than truly reconciling with you out of love. However, it’s also completely possible that they won’t reach out to you anymore out of spite. In any case, it may be best to just move on. 

If the two of you are still considering whether or not you should break up, Knight of Swords reversed means that you need to sit back and assess your relationship. Your partner struggles with hearing you out and may be overcontrolling. Talk to them and let them know that you don’t like what they are doing. If you think your relationship is fixable, then that’s great. Continue talking to your partner and try to get them to change their ways. But, if you’ve noticed this pattern just repeating itself over and over again, then it’s better to break things off. A relationship is a two-way street. It isn’t fair for you to hear them out if they never do the same for you.
