The advice
Ask the questions that are missing before making any decision.
A young person on high ground holds a sword in both hands, looking back, hair blown by the wind. Racing clouds and birds: everything here is on alert.
Page of Swords upright
Sharp curiosity and attention. This is the card of investigating, studying, asking and gathering information before acting. It also appears as news arriving, a revealing conversation, or a young, observant person entering the story.
In love
Conversations that build mutual knowledge, someone direct and curious, or the phase of discovering who the other person is.
In work and money
Research, technical learning, data gathering. Information is now worth more than opinion.
In your inner life
An active mind full of questions. Write them down; some of them will turn into direction.
The shadow
Vigilance turning into suspicion. Not everything needs to be investigated.
Page of Swords reversed
Information is loose and badly used. Gossip, rumor, a hasty conclusion, or words said without weighing their effect. The reversed Page asks you to verify before believing, and before passing it on.
In love
Investigative jealousy, a message read in bad faith, or someone who talks too much about the relationship.
In work and money
Internal rumor, distorted information, criticism made without grounds. Go to the source.
In your inner life
A racing head, general distrust, trouble quieting the thoughts.
The shadow
Speaking before knowing. The sentence said in a hurry outlives the correction.
