The Page of Swords is a highly energetic card. Talkative, inquisitive, straightforward, but sometimes aggressive, suspicious and disruptive, the Page of Swords is related to communications, ideas, speech and is trying to achieve balance during or after a phase of transition or a temporary situation. The Eight of Cups signifies dissatisfaction and it expresses the desire to withdraw, to walk away from a situation, to change, as we hear the calling of a new or different future. In some cases the Eight of Cups can even indicate betrayal. This combination can suggest that you're ready to step into a new phase of growth and exploration. You may be using your intellect and analytical skills to assess your current situation, and you're willing to let go of anything that's holding you back or no longer aligns with your values.
The elements of the cards are Air (Page of Swords) and Water (Eight of Cups). Air's analytical nature can provide clarity and insight into emotional matters. The Air card may offer intellectual perspectives and rational understanding to help navigate through emotional challenges, providing a sense of emotional intelligence and objectivity.
