Tell My Tarot
The Page of Swords is generally regarded as an optimistic card in readings but it can denote foolhardiness and a tendency to rush in before all information is known. It can appear as a warning against reckless action.
At the same time as this card suggests caution in uncertain circumstances, it celebrates the boundless energy and creativity of the beginner. This is a good card to see when starting a new endeavor, especially if circumstances relate to labor, craft, employment, or study.
Some readers like to associate court cards with the person they are reading for. If you would like to do this, the Page of Swords can be an energetic young man or woman who is seeking to find their way in the world. Their questions may have to do with success in a job hunt, in education, or in finding their place in the pecking order of a complex social situation.

UPSIDE DOWN
Interpretation
You should understand that fate is beckoning you to move forward. For several months now, you have had the unpleasant impression of no longer making any progress. Now is the time to make decisions and take action. This setting in motion can only be positive for your development.
Your experience of life means you now have a good emotional balance. By being sensitive, you have learned to listen to the messages of your subconscious and get closer to your emotions, which also serve as a guide, indicating the path to follow. However, you are also aware that excess sensitivity is sometimes dangerous and that emotions can mislead you. So you show a certain detachment from them, and always weigh the pros and cons before yielding to your instinct.
This harmonious state of mind offers you the opportunity to enjoy a busy social life. Your strength of character and your energy encourage your commitment to projects that are really important to you. You will also be able to overcome any problems you face by appealing to your natural selflessness. You're holding all the cards you need to move forward in a positive direction. It is up to you to develop the rigor and consistency necessary for your action to produce tangible results in the long term.
Ask yourself
•What most appeals to your most youthful nature? Is this still achievable?
•What youthful pursuits is it time for you to leave behind? What more mature endeavors are you ready for?
•Where can you go to achieve the clarity that is available to you right now about the pressing matters in your life?
La symbolique de la Tempérance
• Sword : An implement of action; in the tarot, associated with air and activity. The ability to solve problems through decisive action. When Sword cards appear in readings they can refer to a person’s ability to make their will known in the world.
• Page : The youngest and most immature of all the court cards, the Page is someone just discovering their strength and abilities. Although this can refer to someone physically young, it can also refer to a novice or beginner.
• Clear sky, wind day : The youth’s hair is being blown about and so are the trees in the background. For all this is a clear, sunny day, yet there is much activity – maybe even a little chaos.
• Hills and mountains : The youth is standing on a hill that looks larger than the mountains far in the distance. This can represent the obstacles of the beginner; anyone seeking to master a skill or situation must start with small, basic achievements first.
• Boots : Hot on one's feet; ready to take action though perhaps without forethought; focus of will.
• Birds : A time of unparalleled creative thinking but with the temptation to be distracted or wooed by maleficent forces.
