Page of Swords
The Page of Swords is a wind-tossed, watchful messenger embodying curiosity, quick thinking, and vigilance. Upright, it signals asking sharper questions, studying, speaking necessary truths, and favoring research, contracts, and new ideas, with an emphasis on precision over force. Reversed, it warns of scattered thoughts, gossip, impulsive messages, defensive arguments, and boundary-crossing surveillance, urging verification before posting or replying. When balanced, the Page becomes a nimble messenger and an eager student of truth who opens the gate to larger missions ahead.

Visual Description
A youthful figure kneels on a wooden platform, gripping a short sword held upright. He wears a red cap with a feather, a blue embroidered tunic, a fur-trimmed cloak, and red boots, with a gleam on his knee guard. His hair and the long ribbon in the sky stream in a stiff wind as he looks alertly to the side. A tall staff or banner pole rises beside the railing, and dark clouds gather behind him.
Meaning
Wind-tossed and watchful, the Page of Swords is like a young scout of the princely druzhina from Slavic bylinas, poised on the palisade and hungry for news. Upright, this energy brings quick thinking, curiosity, and messages; you may be called to ask sharper questions, study diligently, or speak a necessary truth even if it cuts. It favors new ideas, research, contracts, interviews, or any task that requires vigilance and a keen ear for subtle movement on the horizon. You can outpace confusion by gathering facts, choosing clear words, and staying light on your feet. Yet his blade is small, reminding you to act with precision rather than force. Reversed, the same wind scatters thoughts into gossip, impulsive texts, defensive arguments, or surveillance that crosses boundaries. Verify sources, pause before you post or reply, and turn nervous energy into skill-building instead of suspicion. When balanced, this Page becomes a nimble messenger and a bright student of truth, opening the gate to bigger missions ahead.
