PAGE of SWORDS

Tarot Card for the Week of Aug. 12th – Aug. 19th.

This weeks card is the Page of Swords. The Pages all have youthful energy, and in the Suit of Swords, the energy is mental energy. This Page is a messenger of communications… especially written communications. So you could could receive a message about a problem of situation that has been weighing heavily on your mind this week.

This Page of Swords can also indicate a young person who is always on the lookout for trouble, and if he can’t find any… he’ll create it just to make others react. He gets bored easily and and can become restless and rebellious. You can feel like someone is spying on you , going through your things, or watching you, but this Page is sneaky… so you’ll have a hard time catching them.

This Page can indicate a child who is intellectually mature for their age, but at times doesn’t put that great mind to the best uses… especially if they are bored or become nervous or restless because they feel a change is coming up in their life that will force them to put their intellect into gear in a way that feels forced to them. I see this as the student that feels the impending ‘Back to School’ phase. They know Summer is coming to a close and they will be forced to go back to a schedule and into a classroom while the weather is still hot and their freedom feels taken. This can make them irritable, sassy, restless and moody. Mom and Dad are more than ready for school to start,,, especially during this phase of impending ‘doom’ for the student. The energy here is full of excitement for the upcoming change, and at the same time… nervousness. This can translate into that restless, irritable and rebelliousness that I mentioned before, all the while they try and ‘play it cool’.

This energy can be showing up in an adult as well as a youth, so this could just as well be the feeling or situation you are embodying. Or a person you will meet or interact with, or a child. Either way, it’s mental energy. It’s about communications, messages, logic, facts, the intellect. And Pages always suggest things that are beginning. So expect this person or these energies to enter your life in one way or the other this week.  The way to deal with this energy is to keep busy or keep the child busy. The Sword cards are about mental action and problems. Let’s all keep that mind occupied in a productive way so the mind doesn’t take matters into it’s own hands and ‘create’ something to worry about.
