PAGE OF SWORDS – love

The Page of Swords is the card of questions in love. The one you didn't dare to ask.

This card rarely brings great passion. Much more often, it brings a conversation that clarifies something. A message. A phone call. Or that moment when you finally ask what you've been avoiding for weeks – and it turns out the answer is much simpler than what you made up instead.

Look at the Page: they hold the sword with both hands because it's heavy for them. They don't pretend to understand it. In love, this is a rare strength. Most of us would rather nod than ask: "What did you mean by that?"

The wind swirls around them. This card doesn't learn in calm – and there's no calm in love either. There won't be a perfect moment to ask the question. Ask in the wind.

If you are in a relationship, this card often brings back fresh curiosity: when was the last time you asked them something you didn't know the answer to? Routine isn't because love runs out – but because we think we already know everything about the other person.

If you are single, the card can bring news. A message, an acquaintance, a conversation with someone who makes your thinking interesting.

Its shadow: the sword is sharp. A quick wit cuts quickly. That witty, stinging remark lands with someone. Ask more than you state.

The angels send this message: ask. There's a question within you that you've been circling for weeks – and as you read this, you know exactly what it is.

You're not not asking because you're not interested. It's because you're afraid of the answer. Or because you don't want to seem petty. Or because you believe that if you don't say it, it's not true.

But listen: your head is answering instead. And your head always tells you worse things than reality.

Look at the Page on the card. He holds the sword with both hands because it's difficult for him. He doesn't pretend to understand. In love, this is a rare strength – most of us would rather nod than ask: "What did you mean by that?"

And pay attention to the wind. Everything is swirling around him, yet he holds up the sword. He doesn't wait for the wind to die down. You shouldn't wait for the perfect moment to ask your question either. There won't be a perfect moment.

If you're in a relationship, there's something else here. When was the last time you asked them something you didn't know the answer to? Habit doesn't come from love running out. It comes from believing we already know everything about the other person. But we don't. Ask again.

However, be careful with one thing: the sword is sharp. That biting, witty remark that's already on the tip of your tongue will land a blow within them. Quick wit inflicts quick wounds. Ask more than you state.

If the card is reversed: something went wrong with the words. Either you were scattered, or you cut. It's not a big problem – slow down, and say: I'm sorry, I phrased that badly.
