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.
Eight of Wands

The Eight of Wands urges you to go with the flow. Everything is moving fast right now, so manage this forward momentum to manifest your dreams. Let the energy of the Universe to flow through you and drive you closer to your goal. Trying to slow things down because you’re not ready or you’re nervous about the unfamiliar will just waste this moment. Use energy instead to feed positive development and create meaningful results.

Usually, the Eight of Wands implies air travel. You may even appreciate being part of a tour organization that visits multiple countries in as many days!
Reversed
Delays, frustration, resisting change, internal alignment
The Reversed Eight of Wands implies that you are rushing ahead with a plan, but you need to slow down and contemplate your next steps before proceeding. You may miss something in your hurry and be likely to make bad decisions. Or, you may rush into things without a definite plan of where you are directing, instead of spending time into small tasks. The problem is that with this method, you never finish anything because you are skipping from one idea to the next and completing none of them.
The Reversed Eight of Wands can signal that you are holding change, trying to stop the movement of energy. If you have been feeling stuck, do things differently and get the energy flowing once again.
The Reversed Eight of Wands can indicate delays, particularly concerning trips or plans. This is very frustrating, and you may be growing more anxious by the day. Continue looking for alternative ways around the difficulties presented so you can carry out your projects.
Page of Swords
Upright
New ideas, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, new ways of communicating
The Page of Swords card shows a person with enthusiasm and motivation. When this card appears in a Tarot reading, you are full of new plans for the future. You may be thrilled about starting a new project, attempting a new method or learning something fresh. You feel as like you could do practically anything. The difficulty is whether you can continue it. As with all Page cards, the start always looks encouraging, but you need something else to keep up the movement.
The Page of Swords often appears when you are discovering a new way of thinking. You have a questioning mind and a desire for learning. You may be likely to make errors along the way, but you are excited to learn from your mistakes.
As the Swords cards link to communication, the Page of Swords implies that you are finding a distinctive way of expressing your thoughts and communicating your opinions. You may be attracted to speaking in public, writing a novel or a blog, beginning a podcast. You are ready to take the next step to send your messages to the world.
The Page of Swords can also describe your connection with a person who is exploring their capability to interact, share opinions, and gather knowledge. You need to stay open to their interest to get more knowledge about the world.
Reversed
Self-expression, all talk and no action, haphazard action, haste
The reversed Page of Swords can show up in a Tarot reading when you are staying back from communicating your truth, particularly in a public discussion. You like to declare your opinions personally or anonymously. Maybe you like to keep a secret journal, or you’re writing a text just for yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Page of Swords can indicate that you just speak without any action. Be cautious about making false commitments or saying something which you’ll later change. This reversed Page may try to surprise you with big stories, however, you later find out are great distortions of the truth.
In the reversed position, the Page of Swords can also hint you are acting recklessly, without considering things through. You have a lot of power but are not using it efficiently.
As this Page likes to ask questions, in reversal, it can be a warning that you are disturbing others by your continuous questioning. You may just be attempting to understand a circumstance or a thought better, there are more effective methods to go about it. Be aware of how you may come to others and only inquiry about those ideas that are essential to you.
