Sometimes referred to as "The Secret Agent card." Watch for this card to appear with
the Moon.
Rachel Pollack says that "He [the Page of Swords] may look on human life as a kind of curious spectacle in which he himself does not expect to take part."
In the most negative context, the Page of Swords could represent a psychopath — someone who is completely unable to empathize with others. This is the opposite of the
Queen of Cups.
In a positive context, this card represents the ability to detach oneself from emotions when making a decision or an evaluation. Your parents were "strict disciplinarians" when you were a child; was that 100% bad? Did any good come out of it? Your boss fired you on your birthday. You think about it, and realize that it led to you getting a much better job.
