When I saw the Page this morning I was in a rush to leave the house so I kept it in my mind to ponder later. I didn't automatically "know" what I was being told - I'm still getting more deeply acquainted with the court cards, and some are easier for me than others.
But later as I was considering this card, I realized that it's just another lovely progression in my weekly card draws, indicating that things are flowing along. The Page of Swords is telling me to be strong and face this current issue with my student with my chin up, and in a fair manner. It's fitting because the issue with my student involved academic ethics - plagiarism. Figuring out how to deal with him in a way that is fair, yet not feeling simultaneously sad about it, has been a challenge for me. So the central issue has been solved, but today (and probably even early next week) I'll be finishing working out the details and settling everything once and for all. Yesterday I pulled the 6 of Swords which encouraged me to move on, gain a new perspective. Today the Page is encouraging me to meet the challenge of learning to be just and fair and honest, and to place my focus on doing what's right, rather than getting caught up in irrational emotions regarding the student's situation. This has always been an issue for me!

So I will look at this situation as a positive challenge to understand that sometimes paying attention to what's fair is more important than worrying about how the perpetrator feels about the situation. (That's me, always worrying about peoples' emotions, even when it doesn't seem to make any sense!!!!!!!)
Thank you, Page!
(P.S. I push-pull shuffled twice, cut three times from right to left, and restacked from right to left - then drew the top card!)
