A stage of exploring each other. Curious about their speech habits and tastes, you keep asking questions, and exchanging short messages, the outline of the relationship gradually sharpens. It is early to speak of certainty, but a welcome message may come from their side first.

Reading It Upright and Reversed
Page of Swords · Minor Arcana · Swords · Page
The Page of Swords depicts a young person on a windswept hill holding a sword upright and looking around; upright, it means an attitude of opening eyes and ears wide to gather clues even if clumsy, and a sensitivity that notices signs of change before others.
A young person standing atop a green hill holds a sword upright in both hands. The body faces forward but the head is turned toward the sky behind, and hair and clothing flutter to one side with the wind. The ground underfoot is uneven, and distant trees bend in the wind.
The sword of the swords suit symbolizes thought and speech, but in this youth, curiosity to look all around feels greater than the skill to wield it. For this reason the youth in the picture appears as someone with senses on edge to dig something up, one who catches the stir before news arrives.
Does the Page of Swords mean news is coming soon?
It is indeed a card where news comes and goes. But it is less a message that arrives while you sit still than the reply received by someone who made inquiries themselves. News flows to the person who asked questions, requested material and greeted others first. If there is an answer you are waiting for, sending a short message first rather than just sitting on your hands fits this card’s grain well.

Upright
Reversed
The wish to know goes too far, so you treat the other person as if running a background check. As you scroll through old messages or question people around them to piece together fragments, something you could confirm directly with them needlessly grows big. Asking that person directly what you are curious about is fastest.
Page of Swords: Money
Upright
A time to gather money-related information bit by bit. The effort of comparing terms product by product and carefully weighing fees and maturities comes back to you entirely as gain. Rather than investing a lump sum, learning the principles with a small amount means you will not hesitate when the next chance comes.
Reversed
Moving on hearsay brings losses. Money put in without checking, heart racing at rumours that someone made money on it, gets tied up a long time. Set aside information of unclear origin, and first look over your own account history yourself.
Page of Swords: Work
Upright
You come to stand in a place of learning something new. You stand out by asking about the context around your work and taking careful notes, and you pair well with observing work like research and tracking trends. You may also hear news inside and outside the company a step ahead of others.
Reversed
Watch out for where words leak. You may lose trust by spreading matters before they are confirmed, or be unable to focus on work as evaluations exchanged like gossip reach your ears. In meetings, say only as much as is confirmed, and share the rest after it is verified.

Page of Swords Upright
Watching · information · vigilance
If it came out upright, reading the lay of the land matters more than anything right now. It is not the time to conclude, but the stage of piling up material and comparing whether someone’s tone and expression match. Even if they look a little naive, the person who keeps asking about what they are curious about grasps the flow first, and useful information reaches such a person first too.
An instinct that does not relax just because things are quiet awakens as well. It is a time when the hunch that talk about you is going around somewhere and will soon reach your ears proves right. Fine print in the corner of a contract, a snippet that slipped out mid-conversation, a message arriving at an unusual hour: these will mean a lot later, so take notes.

Gossip · snooping · rash words
Placed reversed, sharpened senses point in the wrong direction. Curiosity spreads into suspicion, so you carry around words you need not know, or secretly peek at the other person’s phone and schedule. The more you find out, the more anxiety grows instead. Not because information increased, but because only fragments piled up.
Words leaping out before thoughts is a frequent problem too. Passing things on as if you knew everything when you knew only half sours relationships, and a single line sent in haste lingers a long time. At such times, let it sit just one day and reread the same sentence. Most of the time you will end up not pressing send.
Something to Try the Day This Card Appears
Today, put conclusions aside for a while and gather what is confirmed first. Pick one thing on your mind and write confirmed content and guessed content in two columns, left and right. If the guess column is longer, it is not yet time to speak. Just decide first whom to ask.
