The Page of Swords - New Palladini Tarot
Use Your Words!
I had such an awful, intense day yesterday. By the end of it I literally felt like that Knight of Fire had trampled me and burned me to a crisp. The day seemed like it would never end. I finally fell asleep around 730 this morning. Three cups of coffee and I was still dragging and groggy headed. I drew the Page of Swords for you today. In my head I knew what I wanted to say about it but my head fought verbal articulation and my cat wanted to be in the middle of my cards, my keyboard and my lap. My cat always wins! She is after all, a tortoiseshell.
The irony of this is not lost on me since the Page of Swords is all about communication. *head desk* So, I'm just going to say, don't be like yesterday's Knight of Swords! (though you may be able to use his energy to get things done) Today is a day to use your words, people! Communicate! Negotiate! And do the thing!
I like the earnestness in this Page of Swords face. I also appreciate the androgyny of this page. I like that openness to interpretation. Many of the cards in the New Palladini Tarot are drawn this way. I also think it’s interesting that instead of a blue sky and windswept clouds this card shows a night sky and the page’s sword appears to pierce the crescent moon as if to transition from dreams to action. The expression is thoughtful and determined.
The Page of Swords, in the ideal, is very good at communication. They (or you) have an active mind and a lot of energy to get things started. The downside can be a tendency to talk too much without following through. There's a lot of idealism and enthusiasm at the start of every project. So go ahead and put those wheels in motion but make sure you also put things in place to push yourself to keep up with your goal.
