What does Page of Swords mean for career and work?

Research, learning, junior analytical work. Somebody alert and unproven.

It favours the early stage of expertise: the internship, the first year, the person asking basic questions that turn out to be good ones.

Reversed, half-understood information presented confidently, which is a recognisable workplace hazard and does most of its damage when nobody senior checks it.

Curiosity, new ideas, information gathering. Ask the questions.

Vigilance and a fast mind, applied to something new. The card favours the beginner's question, which is frequently the one that exposes what everybody else has stopped examining.

As a person he is alert, talkative and unproven: quick rather than wise, and aware of the difference less often than he should be.

Gossip, cynicism, all talk. Scattered thinking.

Or information used carelessly: sharing what should have been held, which is this Page's characteristic damage and is usually done without malice.

The cynicism reading is worth separating from scepticism. Scepticism asks for evidence; cynicism has decided in advance, and one of them is a form of thinking.

Upright: curiosity, vigilance, new ideas, questioning, study

Reversed: gossip, cynicism, scattered thinking, careless words

• What question am I not asking because I am afraid of looking stupid?
• What am I repeating that I have not checked?
