From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Prince (Knight) of Swords; from the Jade Oracle, Coatl:
Being Air of Air, the Prince/Knight of Swords lives most comfortably in an abstract rather than relative world. Well-educated with a mind that works at the speed of light, he can assimilate ideas in innovative ways. He reminds me of Vincent Nigel-Murray, one of the interns on the TV series Bones, who constantly spouted random facts to relieve his anxiety. Occasionally his blurts would be tangentially related to the work at hand, but it took some puzzling to figure out. More than once, his coworkers would ask "How is that pertinent?" Coatl (serpent) was a sacred symbol of the Aztecs. As the snake was able to crawl on the ground, slither up trees, and swim in water, it connected the realms of earth, air and water. It reminds this airy Prince that abstract ideas are only useful when applied in relative, concrete ways or when used to expand perspectives.
