Page of Swords tarot card

"Curiosity isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

An active figure holds a sword upright in both hands, while in the act of swift walking. He is passing over rugged land, and about his way the clouds are collocated wildly. He is alert and lithe, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment. Swords represents thoughts and the page represents a messenger/message. Together the page of swords represents a message carried especially for you-- some wisdom you need to become a master of your own thoughts.

CuriosityRestlessnessNew IdeasCommunication

Take heed of people coming to you with new and exciting information-- a new curious student or a partner who makes you see the world with new eyes (or even a new perspective from within yourself). This new information will be super helpful and important for you as you go on your journey. Be open and receptive to new ideas and people

Reversed

Information and gossip are pulling you away from your goals. Keep your eye on the prize and don't forget to be honest and fair-- do not paint things to be different than they are, because you will be found out.

Page of Swords for Scorpio in Work and Career

The Transformer

Swords are the air suit, so the Page of Swords sits in Libra. Libra sits directly beside Scorpio, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Upright, this is someone at the start of the element: sincere, curious, not yet any good at it.

When reading about work through a Scorpio lens, the Page of Swords says that you feel like work is where you need to know the financial truth before anyone else does, a problem to solve (or a power to hold), and something you will not announce until you are certain. This has either led to you becoming the person who understands the money and the leverage, or to you refusing to enter the room where decisions are made. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.

In practice that can look like clarity about what the job actually is. Whatever form it takes, it arrives as news, or as someone new and sincere.
