Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Page of Wands
Upright
Inspiration, ideas, discovery, limitless potential, free spirit
With the Page of Wands, you prefer to give anything a go. You embrace the possibility to start on a new journey and see where it takes you. You do not have a fixed plan, but you are enthusiastic about the opportunities.
The appearance of the Page of Wands shows that you are experiencing creative excitement, however, the Page is staying still and his wand is planted on the earth – he is not moving anywhere yet. You still need to take your imaginative sparkle and ground it down so that it is ready to be fulfilled in the physical world. You may need to map out your plan or create a few trials.
The Page of Wands can show up when a spiritual path may be inviting you. You have an inquisitive mind and are interested to see where this call might lead. While you are very much the amateur when it comes to this spiritual journey, you are open to the knowledge and keen to learn new levels of awareness. You may get help from a mentor, someone who has wandered your path before and can now guide you forward.
Reversed
Newly-formed ideas, redirecting energy, self-limiting beliefs, a spiritual path
The reversed Page of Wands implies that you can feel something new rising within you, but you don’t know how to turn it into action. You may have the seed of an opinion or a general feeling that something new is happening, but you are yet to manifest it in the world. You do not need to make progress yet – in fact, doing so may be harmful since this idea is in the early steps of development. Just ‘play’ with the idea and let it evolve. Do not make it; sit in the imaginative void and allow it to open itself.
On the other meaning, the reversed Page of Wands can suggest that you tried many new adventures, however, these have not turned out as you had expected. You may have had the dream to start a new project with the sense that it would reach something more significant, but you understood that you took the incorrect way. Try to prefer another way to display the idea, and be prepared to redefine your route to stay in harmony with your personal maturity goals.
Finally, the reversed Page of Wands may also show up when you are exploring a new way of spiritual discovery. It is likely to be an extraordinary spiritual path. So, you are keeping this journey secret. You acknowledge, too, that motivation comes from inside, rather than looking to others for the solutions.
Knight Of Swords
Upright
Ambitious, action-oriented, driven to succeed, fast-thinking
The Knight of Swords is on a mission, as with other Knights in the Tarot deck – he has set his mind on something and nothing is holding him. Being a Swords card, this Knight actively uses the energy of his mind to achieve his goals.
When the Knight of Swords shows up in a Tarot reading, it is a hint that you are very motivated and ambitious. The difficulties and restrictions on the path don’t frighten you because you know where you need to go. Move forward with pure determination to get things to happen.
The Knight of Swords implies that you take action fast without planning. You succeed on high levels of enthusiasm that drive you and stimulate you to manifest your dreams.
The Knight of Swords reminds you to be confident in getting what you want. He doesn’t wait for something to happen. He is always doing the first movement and actively chasing his goals.
The bad side of the quick-acting Knight of Swords is that sometimes you act too fast and haven’t fully analyzed your decisions through. You may be careless of potential difficulties and problems or the results of your actions. You may be likely to rush things to get a job done. Or, you may track a specific purpose, thinking it is what you want, but later understand that it’s a dead-end. A little planning and arrangement can go a long distance.
The Knight of Swords also signifies your need to know life from an intellectual viewpoint. You have advanced communication abilities and can quickly form solid thoughts and ideas. You love to join with others who have related skills so that you can generate a new perspective by sharing ideas.
Reversed
Restless, unfocused, impulsive, burn-out
The reversed Knight of Swords can show up in a Tarot reading when you are bursting with energy and impulse but cannot efficiently direct and deliver it. You are getting restless and anxious because you want to make progress, but something is keeping you back. Maybe the timing isn’t right, you don’t have enough supplies, or you’re depending on someone else. You need to discover a different plan to channel this energy.
Furthermore, the reversed Knight of Swords implies that you are making reckless and spontaneous decisions. You don’t have mental discipline, and you are continually changing your mind. You need to use a singular focus; choose a plan and then work on it until it is finished.
The reversed Knight of Swords can also recommend that you should relax down; otherwise, you can be very exhausted and burned out. You want to be included in everything, but you are not accomplishing anything. Take some time off so that you can ground yourself, assemble your thoughts and focus on only your highest priorities.
