The Page of Swords is also known as the Princess of the Rushing Winds and Lotus of the Palace of Air and represents clarity from confusion, news and ideas.
This Page is rebellious, impatient and eager to cut through anything that gets in the way of progress and excitement. He is also clever and witty. He represents freedom of thought, especially those that break free from stale and obsolete beliefs and ways of thinking.
If he is impeded or not given intellectual free reign, whether by authority, superiors or his own beliefs, he can become spiteful and petty. The key to moving out of this is to embrace change and fearlessness.
If referring to a child or young person, this Page is changeable, engaging and knows how to charm with words. He enjoys movement and sports, but he excels in games of cleverness and wit. Whenever this Page turns up in a reading, he brings news - letters, phone calls, emails and verbal news that brings changes to your life.
On a deeper level, he heralds changes of beliefs, mental processes and new learnings. There is much to be learned through communication and conversations - both deep and superficial. There is a rebelliousness of ideas and a desire to overthrow the old order with something new and fresh.
The Page is an immature energy, so often this energy will misfire until it finds its feet and becomes more directed so it is advised to take your ideas and give them the benefit of time and maturity to get the most traction and benefit from them. There is a need to develop your analytical powers and reasoning abilities, but there is also a great talent for using these skills.
There may be a tendency to let one's negative thought patterns cloud the progression of this development however, so there is a need to focus on clarity and reason rather than emotion.
