Upright Meanings
Your brain is fast right now. New angle, new question, new way to say the thing. Pay attention to it. The Page is the start of a thought, not the conclusion. So ask, read, gather. Don't lock in the answer before the question is fully open.
Reversed Meanings
The mind is running but it's not pointed anywhere. Talk without follow-through. Sharp opinions without the work behind them. Sometimes this card is about gossip, or words used to cut. Either way, the energy is real and the aim is off. Slow down before you say the thing you'll have to walk back.
Elemental
Earth of Air.
