Argumentative Altercation

From the Wayfarer Tarot, the Knight of Air (Swords); from the Curious Oracle, Alchemy:

When we respond from a more dispassionate perspective, and are not just caught in the game of defending or promoting our ego, it is as though a different world opens up. We begin to see how our limited focus has prevented us from developing a bigger vision of what is going on and how best to respond to it. ―Judy Lief

With beak open, claws extended and feathers flying, this Knight of Swords/Air is not afraid of an argument. He believes if he has the facts, then he's right. What he lacks is context (what might be true in one situation is not necessarily true in another) and empathy. He's got skin in the game - he enjoys the reputation of being knowledgeable and likes to prove it. Alchemy (transformation) suggests there is a middle way without painting everything in black or white. Sincerely listening rather than just telling can help him not only better understand another perspective, it can make him less argumentative. And being less cocky can make the other side more willing to listen to his point of view as well.
