King of Swords, Erotic Manara

Exposure with responsibility.

"This card signifies logic and reason, integrity, ethics and morals." thetarotguide.com

But not the traditional beardy fellow sitting on a throne. 
Neither armor nor robe. Barely nothing to conceal himself.
A rather unroyal hairdo!
We see the sign of Aquarius. Progressiveness, independence, intelligence, uniqueness, freedom.
Ruled by Uranus - Change, Disruption, and Revolution.
With a dash of Saturn - discipline and responsibility.

A responsible unabashed tribe leader.

We're advised to 'lead our life' in our own unique way.
Not to shrink ourselves because of what others might think or to fit others' expectations.
Not to be afraid to appear a bit erratic, odd, or maybe even a tad rebellious - but not in an irresponsible or immature way.
Not to be afraid to shock our surroundings a little even? Not shock for shocks sake (shock to 'get attention'), but maybe that our actions may appear shocking and sudden from the outside though they are well thought through and anchored firmly in our foundation and true essence. Some changes can have that effect on our surroundings. 

Yes, acting from our true selves may have some 'uncomfortable consequences' if we've not been doing it on a greater scale before. But lets not let that scare us! Let's not excuse ourselves for being the persons we were born to be. Let's not ask everyone for permission. 
And - let's not explain ourselves unnecessarily, or require that others 'understand' (that's a form of shrinking) or agree...
