Guidance held with care, insight without haste
Swords
On windy high ground a youth stands with a sword raised in both hands, looking back over his shoulder. Clouds race, trees bend and birds wheel above him. He is all alertness. This is the young mind: curious, watchful, quick with words, hungry to know.
Stay sharp and ask questions. The Page of Swords brings a restless, inquiring energy: you want the truth and you are prepared to dig for it. Observe before you act. Learn, look into things, speak honestly. News arrives that makes you think. Keep your wits about you, because not everything is being said. Curiosity serves you well. Gossip does not.
A quick tongue and little wisdom. The Page of Swords reversed is all talk: sarcasm, gossip, promises without action, the tone of someone who knows it all. Or he snoops, suspicious without cause. News is unwelcome or unreliable. Think before you speak, and check before you believe.
Conversation comes first. This is someone clever and talkative, young in spirit, who is drawn to a mind before a face. In a relationship, talk honestly, and do not pick fights or test each other. If you are alone, watch and learn about someone before you leap.
A time to learn, to analyse and to ask. You are quick and perceptive, and a skill is being sharpened. Read the small print, check your information, and be careful what you say and to whom. Tact is what makes your intelligence welcome.
Wait. Watch, ask questions and gather the facts before you move.
