Her aptitude for language also makes her an incredible communicator, and with her love of ideas, you may find her always engaged in some passionate debate.

She seems to thrive on almost a kind of nervous energy, as if there was too much inside her to say, the wheels in her head always turning. As a news bearer, she may bring news that is represented by her suit - particularly, gossip, legal matters, agreements. Alternatively, you may find yourself required to use her energy - be alert, keep your eyes open and stay sharp and vigilant.

This card may indicate that you are very eager to execute an idea that you have been having or a project that you cooked up just recently. You are quite passionate about it, and you cannot wait to share the progress with others. Compared to your passionate heart, time seems to be standing still. It is time to be talkative. When a Page of Swords appears in a reading, it signifies communication and sharing of ideas. Whether it is someone else’s ideas or yours, it is time to open up and talk about them as long as it is a constructive.

intellectual relationship, lack of emotional intimacy ambitious, intelligent person, new career, education financial curiosity, ideas for making money

Tarot Love Meaning - Upright Page of Swords 

As a person, the Page of Swords tarot love meaning reflects a curious intellectual, whose flighty, nervous energy may border on being anxious. In relationships however, they may be scared of emotional confrontations, and can likely be completely avoidant if they are faced with them. As an emotional state or a quality, the Page of Swords tarot love meaning can signal a relationship that is more cerebral, where lovers are more likely to love heady discussions, but are perhaps a bit more wary of emotional intimacy. One partner can also feel that their emotional needs are not being met. Sometimes, it can also signal small or petty disputes with your partner, which can turn into bigger conflicts should they not be handled properly.

Career Meaning - Upright Page of Swords

When it comes to your career, you may be someone who is intelligent, innovative and ambitious. You may have lots of energy and many ideas to put into your career. Since this card is a page, this does point to some sort of apprenticeship, or new experience, meaning that you may either be in a period of training, school or the start of a new job or career path. With your ambition, you have lots of goals, and you’ll likely have some extra education, or experience so that you can reach those goals. 

Finances Meaning - Upright Page of Swords

You may be full of great ideas about how to stretch your finances, or how to make more money, but whatever ideas you may have may be in the very early stages. If you can, try and draw from people that may have more experience than you. You may also be very curious about finances at this time; it’s a complex world, and the more you understand about it, the better you can maximize your earnings. Take some time to study retirement fund options, stocks, bonds and other financial products, or find a financial planner that can help guide you.

Page of Swords Reversal Meaning

When the Page of Swords is reversed, all the negative characteristics of her come out - and she may become almost dangerous. Being gifted with a sharp and alert mind, she may be using it for deception and manipulation. The sword that she wields may be used to create pain, her natural gift for language turned to a weapon. She may lack the understanding or the maturity to understand the suffering that she causes, feeling the rush that one gets upon lashing out. On the other hand, this page may be someone of empty words or promises - who though loves talking, does not really talk about much of substance. Take care to show strength and action behind your words, for you may be damaging your reputation.

Reversed Love Meaning Reversed Career Meaning Reversed Finances Meaning
argumentative, defensive partner, failure to communicate job-hopping, unsure about future career, office gossip overanalyzing finances, research but no action

Tarot Love Meaning - Reversed Page of Swords 

The person represented by the Page of Swords tarot love meaning is someone who may lack empathy, sensitivity or depth, or can be someone who can be argumentative or defensive. They may delight in “being right”, but this can come at the expense of harmony and care for the feelings of others. This card can also suggest a failure in communication between partners, or perhaps even a misunderstanding creating paranoia. For your relationship to flourish, partners will have to learn some degree of tolerance for different viewpoints, flexibility and find a desire to cooperate, rather than create conflict.

Career Meaning - Reversed Page of Swords

You have lots of energy and curiosity, but right now it’s not really directed at anything. With no outlet, it seems like you can’t quite make up your mind about what it is you actually want to do for your future. You may move from one job to the next when you get bored, or decide it’s not for you. Oftentimes, to really get the full depth and experience of working somewhere, you do need to commit for a long time. Sometimes, this card can also indicate having lots of big ideas, but zero follow through. Without action, nothing ever comes to fruition. Get working! This card can also point to an office gossip, or a rude individual who uses their words to hurt others. 

Finances Meaning - Reversed Page of Swords

Your ideas about making the most out of your money may not be practical ones, or they may be all talk, without a plan for taking action. It may also be that all the research you put into bettering your finances isn’t really going anywhere. You may feel rather overwhelmed about what you should do next instead of just doing something. What are you overanalyzing?
