Page of Swords
The Page of Swords embodies youthful courage, eagerness, and a bold willingness to confront challenges despite limited experience. It signals enthusiasm, spontaneity, and a readiness to seize opportunities, but can also manifest as brashness, immaturity, or dishonesty. Reversed, the card warns of fear, hesitation, exposed lies, regret over rash actions, or taking on responsibilities one is not prepared for. The advice is to harness confident, direct action while tempering impulsiveness and gaining the experience needed for lasting success.
