The Constant Student
We are motivated by a never-ending quest for new challenges, excitements and experiences. We aspire to understand the world and expand our horizons without the binds of practical considerations .We need freedom and space.
Correction: we need to find excitement and freedom within the boundaries of everyday life.
The Page of Swords represents a state of mind in which we need freedom, open spaces, new experiences and constant learning. In the defined period we need to express that part of us which is looking for change, new experiences and the broadening of our horizons.
At the same time the card indicates that we need to be wary of our tendency to seek freedom and new experiences at any price. We are so afraid of becoming too attached that we might let go of a relationship, a job, or anything else that might tie us down to our life –as positive as it might be.
We need to be aware of this tendency and understand that it might get us stuck -stopping progress in many areas of our life. Therefore, it is better if we create that which is different and new within the existing boundaries of life, e.g. together with our spouse instead of trying to find a new one.
Areas of particular relevance: Higher education, freedom, traveling abroad, gambling, luck.
| Supportive | Obtrusive | |
| Relationships | New relationships start easily, we like to try new things | We consider a steady relationship an obstacle to our freedom and would not commit, we might come across as stacked-up |
| Career | We are educated, have a solid academic background and can impress potential employers –but we usually do not want to! | We are afraid to commit to our job as it might hinder our freedom, it is hard for us to move from theory to practice |
Please note again that a court card cannot provide a definite answer
We are motivated by ego, self fulfillment and a strong urge to manage and improve our immediate surroundings -mainly family and friends. We want to be in the center of things, to be in control, and enjoy life together with our loved ones.
The Ace of Wands indicates that suddenly -but usually following a personal process we have completed, we realize what we want in life and know how to achieve it. We then bring ourselves to the state of mind in which we are open to receive and enjoy the desired success.
We are motivated by a strong need to express ourselves. We are impulsive and do as we wish regardless of the impact on our immediate surroundings. We can become very excited by a new venture or a new beginning but tend to lose interest once things move into a steady-state mode.
