The Page of Swords is today's card - it is also referred to as the Princess of the Rushing Winds and Lotus of the Palace of Air. It represents a renewal of mental and intellectual clarity, new ideas and information that have the capacity to bring dramatic change. The Pages in the Tarot bring news, they are the messengers of the cards. Since Swords represent the mental realm, then the appearance of this page heralds new thought and lots of movement and change based on changing ideas, and a Zeitgeist that foretells a coming significant change to one's life. It can also mean news received via mail or email that brings something surprising to your door. You may find that words and attitudes of others may bring a breath of fresh air to your experience, or be confronting to you if you are set in your ways. You also may feel yourself reacting to situations that occur in your life now with childlike candor or childlike belligerence. Children have an uncanny ability to tell it like it is, not having the 'maturity' to be socially correct in their opinions and speech. So you may find yourself the herald or the recipient of the unvarnished truth - this has the ability to set you free if you let it. On a mundane level, this card can represent gossip and spiteful talk that has the capacity to cause surface trouble in your life. But generally he is bringing news that may be welcome or unwelcome, but will be extremely important in your actions in the coming days and weeks. Since the Pages often...

Known also as Princess of the Rushing Winds and Lotus of the Palace of Air, the Page of Swords brings new beginnings and the release of fears that have been holding you back. Pages often represent messages so expect news in the form of letters, emails, phone calls that tell of changes afoot. These changes are going to bring a whirlwind of activity so be prepared. Be wary of gossip, which is the lower manifestation of the energy of this card - being a Page, there is an immature or undeveloped quality to this card and if you are not on the lookout, you may get drawn in. This card also represents the flexing of the mind muscle, the use of the intellect and the pitfalls and benefits of independent thought. You may be venturing into an intellectual arena that may be unfamiliar, and therefore it feels strange and uncomfortable. But you need not worry - the speed of air will see you catching up in no time and you will be able to hold your own in any debate. Fears that once held you back are now dissolved and you feel a passion and a thirst for knowledge - don't they say that knowledge is power? You are willing to embrace new ideas and have the capacity to take on many new beliefs. Communications of all sorts are signified by this card - friendships, connections, negotiations are all held under its umbrella. A bright and precocious child may be important to you in some way now, as the Page can often be experienced as such a gifted prodigy. You are...

The Page of Pentacles is also known as the Princess of the Echoing Hills and Rose of the Palace of Earth. It represents the early energy of manifestation, waiting and gestation of material results. Pages bring new energy into the Suit they are placed in, and with this one this would indicate the energy of substance, tangible results, finances, property and growth. So this card may point to a new budget you are setting up, early gains in an investment or small windfalls that could be saved to grow into something bigger. Things brings enthusiasm and excitement into your life when you realise that the accumulation and appreciation of life's comforts is its own reward. This card invites you to get comfortable with your finances and your ability to grow your resources. This may be a new idea, or else you will find a new way to increase your material assets. Pages bring messages and experiences from outside to your door, and their purpose is to initiate you into a new phase and new way of dealing with your world. One side of this card is that you will receive news of a modest windfall that will delight you - the other side of this is that you may fritter money away in a childish way, without giving it a chance to mature and grow. While the Page of Pentacles can indicate money coming to you, it is yet a new and delicate thing and a need to balance your material resources must still be catered to. And of course the Page of Pentacles can also indicate a young person -...

The Page of Cups is the Princess of the Waters and the Lotus of the Palace of the Floods - she is aligned with the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. She represents new emotional territory and self trust. She will bring you emotional freedom if you let her, and a renewal of your capacity to love. This often starts with learning how to love yourself, which is the only true way you can receive love from others, for if you feel you can't love yourself , you will not believe it when others say that they love you. This new learning may herald a time of withdrawal, so the delicate feelings that are beginning to blossom are not crushed by the attention - however well-meaning - of others. Meditation and walks in nature, especially by the ocean, river or stream, are restorative to the emotions, as the moving water synchronises with your own waters of your body. The Pages often bring us messages, and this one can bring messages of love, creativity and spirituality - all the provence of Water. There are often hunches, intuition and vivid dreams now, and this is your unconscious wanting to communicate with you - it will help you to listen. When you write down your dreams and fantasies, your unconscious will respond to you and bring you even more helpful information. The Page of Cups also brings happy news, especially in areas pertaining to the heart. It can mean the birth of a special and sensitive child who will be important to your spiritual growth and fulfillment. As a person, this Page is...
