Page of Swords help

Hey everyone,

I could use some help with the Page of Swords. I keep getting it as the outcome card in 3 card spreads (past, present, future) to questions about life changes. Specifically, should I look for a new job and should I buy a house that I'm looking at. I have a hard time interpreting the Swords suit. To me, it means I'll be learning a lot of new things, but it's also supposed to have something to do with communication, and that's the part I don't understand. Thanks!

A new phase of life is about to begin in which you will be called to use your clear thinking and rational mind. All proposals and offers should be considered carefully. Be alert to secretiveness. Someone may be spying on you. Beware of a deceitful person. Possible delays or postponements. Be open to new ideas and concepts.

Thank you! The part about delays and postponements is helpful. And the part about deceit.

P/S as an outcome will have to do with minor delays. This card is also telling you to keep in mind that you need to be able to materialize your thoughts, meaning that you can absolutely quit that job or buy that house in theory--but can you actually pay for it if something happens and/or you lose your new job? The suit of swords is all about ideas, but these ideas are not grounded, and the page is the most immature of the court cards, meaning that they are the dreamers of the deck, but they don't really know how to manifest their dreams. P/S as an outcome is a little universal nudge advising you to put a better plan together and this can become a reality, but you just need a backup and a little bit of structure first.

I'll share with you what I have in my notes about the Page of Swords, in case it will help:

"Communicate openly (but know your facts!) [banish negative thinking]."

I did some further study on the court cards not too long ago, and I added this to my notes about the Page of Swords, as well:

"They like logical explanations. They prefer ideas over social interaction. They're theoretical, abstract, quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. When interested in something, they can really focus & solve problems. They can be critical or skeptical, and they are always analytical."
