"Curiosity isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
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.
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
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 Taurus in Self and Identity
The Builder
Swords are the air suit, so the Page of Swords sits in Libra. Libra and Taurus are quincunx, two signs with nothing in common: no shared element, mode, or polarity. This card will not slot neatly into how Taurus already operates. What it wants is this: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. It has to be done deliberately or it will not happen. Upright, this is someone at the start of the element: sincere, curious, not yet any good at it.
When reading about yourself through a Taurus lens, the Page of Swords says that you feel like you are a finished thing that should not change, a body with specific rules, and someone who knows what works and sticks to it. This has either meant missing the person you could have become, or developing such clarity about yourself that you move through the world without apology. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.
In practice that can look like a loop that finally breaks, or seeing your own pattern in writing. Whatever form it takes, it arrives as news, or as someone new and sincere.
