The daughter of swords

hi everybody!

i work with the tarot for quite a while now, so normally, my interpretations and readings are sufficient for me and others.

but since some months, the daughter of swords (that would be the princess in most decks I know) mocks me. she appears mostly in positions that deal with relationships or "earthly" organisation, and whatever i try, my interpretations do not seem to reach the core.

the only thing I am sure about is that she is connected with a very clearly defined theme in my life as it is now (the need to make sense of friendship/love/sex after the commune i co-founded broke down a year ago).

in my deck (haindl), she is also labelled "isis".

share what you know about the card! kick my blindness-stricken ass!

thanx!

Swords = Analysis, Pages= Outcome

Page of Swords = Logic

Logic makes fun of you? That can't be good.

The Haindl card is unusually rich in associations (like the rest of the deck) so I'd advise comparing it to some other Pages of Swords (e.g. Marseilles, Waite etc) to get some perspective.
IMO It's likely to be either a) an aspect of yourself trying to get noticed (intellectual side?) or b) Isis, Egyptian goddess of Magic, wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, giving you a hint.
Alternatively, swords denote strife and sorrow too so it might just be reflecting your traumas (like the commune say).
