The Knife card is similar to the Gun card as it has a vast array of both literal and metaphorical meanings. Quite literally, it might speak to pain, violence, attack, or wounding. If this is the case for you, the advice is to treat both physically difficult or emotionally triggering experiences with care, caution, and tenderness. Psychic cords may be unraveling for you or someone you know at this time. Additionally, as it is a tool used as a necessity for survival, it is important to treat it with respect and technique. You deserve to be taken care of lovingly and gingerly.

Metaphorically, the Knife card often speaks to editing or cutting out what is unnecessary. It has two sides, so look at any situations at hand with discernment. There might be complex duality or polarization happening for you.

This is also a very sharp tool. It may symbolically imply being sharp in the mind. Practice precision. And again, have care when this card is pulled.
