Upright meaning
The king faces forward with the sword upright — a decision-maker who orders the board by principle and logic. Expert advice, official procedure and putting things in writing all work in your favour.
If it were reversed
Logic is erasing people. If a decision that is correct by the rules is breaking a relationship, lay the sword down a while and listen.
