Page of Swords
The question
Upright meaning
A sharp curiosity and hunger to know. Asking questions is how you advance right now.
Reversed meaning
Speaking without thinking, gossip, or suspicion without cause.
What is in the picture
A young person stands on a rise holding a sword up in both hands, body turned one way and head the other. Clouds race, the grass and their hair blow sideways, birds cut across the sky. They are alert and quick, but that twisted stance shows they do not yet know which direction the trouble comes from.
Love
Someone young and clever, but not yet mature emotionally.
Career
Learning a new skill. Ask plenty of questions.
