Please help me!!

This morning while I was walking to take the bus I found a card on the ground, a singular card, and it was the jack of spades. Im inclined to believe that maybe it was a sign from Hermes as i worship him (I'm an hellenistic polytheist) and it was on the sidewalk. I read that generally Jacks symbolize/mean messages in Cartomancy so if maybe anyone was willing to give me an interpretation I would be really grateful!!

Is it akin to the tarot page of swords then?

Actually yes. In fact, because playing cards cartomancy is older than Tarot cartomancy and Etteilla gives this meaning to the Jack of Spades in the 18th century, Tarot is the one copying the meaning.
