The Inner Meaning of the Page of Swords in Tarot
The Page of Swords is the image of a surefooted and successful child. As a court card, it may represent either an actual person or a situation. Often this card is both at the same time. As a person, it may be a child who is highly intelligent and excels at school.
This child is often too intelligent for his own good. He has a great interest in the secrets of others, and will pursue them relentlessly, wanting to discover all he can. He is a natural spy, and this is often the cause of much trouble for the child. Though not necessarily dishonest, he is sneaky, and can be manipulative when he deems it necessary.
As a situation, this card implies a time when the use of reason and intellect becomes a necessity. There is likely a great deal of confusion, and reason is one of the few things that may cut cleanly through this confusion. The Page of Swords may also indicate a need for eloquent speech and communication to overcome a situation.
The Knight of Swords follows this card. The Page of Swords is the first court card of the Suit of Swords.
