Description of the map

We see a very young man, he has a sword in his hands. It stands on a rough earthen hill. There are disturbing clouds around, everyone is in tension. There are birds above the man's head; they represent many ideas. The page holds the sword with both hands, since he cannot hold it with one hand. He stands ready to repel an attack, awaits the fight with lust. There is a feeling that he has been moving towards this for a long time, now nothing is holding him back, all barriers have collapsed, and he can take advantage of hidden opportunities along the path of his development.

General meaning of the Page of Swords card

All Pages talk about receiving unexpected news, which in itself is not significant, but makes you think. If there are bad cards next to the Page of Swords, then the news will be unpleasant. Perhaps you will find out that someone is gossiping about you and preparing intrigues for you. This is not significant for your destiny, but it will cause you psychological discomfort.

Page of Swords Tarot means that there is a person next to you who cannot be trusted, he spies on you and eavesdrops, and may betray you. It will be difficult for you to know who exactly the card pointed to. But there are hostile intentions in your direction, and conflict is brewing.

Not always a bad sign, if the Page of Swords Tarot appears in a reading, the meaning of the card can be favorable because it has positive traits such as activity and mobility. He will not sit helplessly with his hands folded, he always has information, looks for options on how to solve a problematic issue, how to achieve his goal. If necessary, he will find helpers and do everything to clarify the situation, often through a conflict.

When the Page of Swords is combined with positive cards, a fresh air effect occurs. Everything becomes simple and clear, even the most confusing situations become clearer. Time to think, turn on your head. This is a favorable period to analyze your actions, record your results, it is important to notice them.

Personal Description

The Page of Swords is similar to the Knight of Swords in that he is cunning, is not afraid of anything and actively acts in pursuit of his own interest, which is malicious and intolerable. His insight borders on excessive curiosity; he needs to know everything about everyone, naturally, without asking the consent of others. For the questioner it can be dangerous, treacherous, malicious, if you did not think about enmity, then he will make enmity inevitable. But unlike the Knight of Swords, he is rather weak.

Positive features

Often the Page of Swords is a young man (gender does not play a role), many help him or her to their own misfortune. He easily gains confidence and awakens the instinct of maternal or paternal care. Doesn't think for a long time when to answer or say something. His grace, wit and resourcefulness help him in this.

What he has in common with the Page of Cups is the ability to listen. People often trust him because they see a person who understands and has information on various issues. And when they trust, they begin to talk about their troubles and difficulties, and expect his opinion and advice. It is quite possible that the Page of Swords will assess the situation correctly and give practical advice, but acting on this advice will be unpleasant.

When you communicate with such a person, remember that he will never forget who told him what and will come up with different options for how to use this information. In the Page of Swords’ head, the database of people around him is constantly expanding, what they do, who they communicate with, how they live, what they think about.

You cannot call him a dreamer; he does not break away from reality, the one he sees. In this he differs from the Page of Pentacles, who looks at real reality without attributing anything to it. The Page of Swords assembles reality like a mosaic, models, suspects, speculates, and is happy to demonstrate his conclusions; often they do not correspond to general reality.

Negative traits

If the Page of Swords is interested, he is able to become a flattering suck-up, act like a “Velcro”, can feign friendship, all this in order to merge with power. But such a person cannot be trusted, he is a notorious gossip, he clearly knows when and to whom to communicate information for greater effect.

Often they underestimate him because of his age or low position, they say everything in front of him, and do not think that he can do harm. And he can do it quite noticeably. And he does it for the sake of interest; in spirit he is an experimenter and researcher. He does it and observes how it worked and what the reaction was. If he doesn’t know the consequences, he loses interest. He is still too small and weak to solve serious issues, but he is smart enough to get under his feet.

On a deeper level

It is very difficult to accept that criticism is better than compliments, this truth is contained in the Tarot card Page of Swords. When we are criticized, it seems that we are not valued, we are humiliated, but if we remove emotions, it is obvious that this can be changed by learning something, raising the bar for ourselves. If we learn to listen carefully to criticism, we will be able to extract useful information for ourselves in which direction to work on ourselves. Criticism stimulates development.

The Page of Swords gives us the opportunity to learn to love our enemies, to treat them with trepidation, as they help us develop. They provide an opportunity to see what we don’t think about when communicating in a friendly environment. This helps you move forward. If you analyze your path, you can note that the greatest achievements were in opposition. Thus, ill-wishers make an invaluable contribution to our development; those who love us definitely cannot cope with this.

This card represents newborn thought, and represents itself as divine and eternal, it is still young and arrogant. No one knows what the final result of this thought will be. The reversed Page of Swords believes that he knows everything. By nature he is endowed with intelligence, and with his guesses he replaces knowledge.

It is very difficult for a newborn thought to remain stable; it does not like restrictions. The Page of Swords constantly reconsiders his views and analyzes his reality, regularly, and not at moments of crisis. He always does this, hence the inconstancy. Any version of its principles is short-lived, living until the next update.

It is very difficult to keep up with the Page of Swords, he easily adapts to new circumstances and order, it costs him nothing to change his religion if there is benefit in doing so. And those who do not keep up with him develop hostility towards him and his actions. With internal conflict, there is always a residue in the form of a bad mood, but when it passes, everything becomes clearer.

The Page of Swords fights problems aggressively, decisively, and with youthful enthusiasm. He experiences destructive outbursts of energy, this is the influence of disharmonious Mars. All this rebellion, revelations and conflicts, insults and nit-picking to clarify the situation, all this for the sake of truth and clarity. As soon as you understand that the Page’s rebellion has a constructive, creative character in life, then the desire to strangle him disappears.

The only way to attract attention is to somehow make oneself known, for him, gossip, complaints, breaking laws. He has not yet understood the meaning of diplomacy and patience.

This card may indicate possible problems with the law, but this is not a planned crime or the implementation of a cunning plan, but an absurd driving while drunk, speeding and resisting authorities. Thus, he tries to get his dose of attention from indifferent humanity.

If the upright Page of Swords can cope with his childhood traumas and their consequences, then the inverted one is confused by his complexes, like a cobweb, and is unable to control himself. He asserts himself only through the humiliation of others, hurting them. This is how he frees himself from his experiences, looking from the side as others suffer. Improvisation, suddenness, surprise are characteristic of him.

Importance in Career

The card allows for a lack of mutual understanding with business partners; they may be put off by your resourcefulness and flexible mind. How so? - you ask. So the problem is you, it means you ask too many questions, behave incorrectly and tactlessly, use personal information unnecessarily, play a dishonest game, or have contracted star fever and do not notice anything except yourself.
