Page of Swords

"A youth raises his sword, gaze alert and the wind churning: the curious mind, awake and ever on guard."

Upright meaning

The Page of Swords is the young, sharp mind: curious, observant, eager to understand and to say what it thinks. It brings new ideas, news, the urge to investigate and to speak plainly. It is always on guard, ready to defend the truth, even if it sometimes lacks tact.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the edge turns indiscreet. Gossip, suspicion, words flung without thinking, or mental energy scattered into suspicions. Curiosity becomes spying.

In love

Curiosity and intense conversations, or the urge to clear everything up. Mind the words said in passing.

In work and money

A good time to research, learn and communicate ideas. Keep the mind alert without turning distrustful.

The card's advice

Use curiosity to understand, not to watch: the sharp word cuts both ways.
