The Page of Swords is the card of the “Curious Investigator”. It signals a time of high mental energy, sharp observation, and a hunger for the truth. You are currently sniffing out information and gathering the facts you need to make your next big pounce.

The Cat’s Perspective
“I saw what you did. I am watching everything.” As an Abyssinian—a cat that refuses to stay on the floor when there is a bookshelf to climb—this card represents your sharp mind and endless list of questions. You have hit a breakthrough of mental energy, and how the world works currently fascinates you. Just be careful—sometimes curiosity kills the cat (or at least gets its nose swat). Your intellect is your greatest asset right now. You are the “student” of the clowder, cutting through the old, dusty ways of doing things with a fresh perspective. Use this energy to learn a new skill rather than just using your sharp mind to find out where the humans hid the treats. Use your intellect to learn, not just to gossip.
Page of Swords Meaning: Love & Relationships
You are analyzing the relationship. You are asking questions. It might feel less ‘romantic’ and more ‘intellectual.’ You want to talk, to debate, to understand. If you are single, you are vetting your dates carefully. No secrets get past you.
Page of Swords Meaning: Career & Money
You are hungry to learn. You are the student, asking ‘Why?’ in every meeting. You have a fresh perspective that cuts through the old way of doing things. Communicate clearly. Your words are your best asset right now. Speak up.

🐾 Bane’s Senior Insight:
The Wise Observer
At 12 years old, Bane has learned that you don’t always have to climb the highest peak to see what’s happening in the yard. A calm mind processes information better than a frantic one; the Page of Swords teaches us the power of observation. When you feel overwhelmed by the technical details of your project, sit down and observe. Did you miss any details? Gather the facts before you decide to hiss.
