What does the Page of Swords card mean in a love reading?

When the Page of Swords shows up in a love reading, it can denote communication breakdowns. While there’s probably not any ill will here, a misunderstanding is driving a wedge between you and a romantic interest or partner. The words someone used have caused hurt feelings.

Swords relate to communication. This Page has a youthful spirit. It might be the case that your connection has been lacking maturity lately. If you’re being honest with yourself, are you communicating as vulnerably with your partner as you could (or should) be? Or have you been holding back from genuinely sharing your feelings?

With the Page of Swords here, you’re encouraged to really talk things through. This may require you to rise to a level of maturity and intimacy in relationships that you haven’t reached before.

For those on the search for love, the Page of Swords can be a messenger of patience, letting you know that it’s going to be some time before you meet your “person.” Or perhaps you’ve met them but one of you simply isn’t ready to go “all in” right now.

In the meantime, you’re well-positioned to focus on yourself and enjoy your life. But don’t let that message keep you from putting yourself out there—you never know!

When you see the Page of Swords in a financial reading, inspiration will soon flow around money-making ideas. Be careful not to get too far ahead of yourself. An idea is just an idea, and it’s early. Follow those wild hares, but keep things in perspective. Be willing to listen to experienced people when they have suggestions or raise concerns.

If you’re struck with a big dream that’s going to challenge your physical and mental resources, follow that curiosity. Maybe you suddenly start obsessing about summiting Kilimanjaro or starting IVF. Learn about what it would take to achieve this. Maybe start taking some action. But don’t commit in full just yet. Maybe hold off on booking that flight for now?

Page of Swords Tarot Card in Reverse Meaning

With the Page of Swords in a reversed position, the gift of gab can become a double-edged sword, causing more harm than good.

If you see this card in reverse, you might have a recent knack for letting your mouth run wild, leading to hurt feelings and damaged relationships. When that’s the case, the reversed Page of Swords is a warning to be more considerate with your words. If you’ve been shrugging off a conflict as people being “too sensitive,” now’s the time to pause and course-correct with some compassion.

The Page of Swords in reverse can also represent other misuses of your tongue, such as making empty promises that you haven’t been backing up. Again, this card reminds you to practice more empathy. Think through the consequences that your words have.

When it relates to curiosity and ideas, the Page of Swords reversed may indicate that you’re struggling to create anything from these notions.

Hash out the next steps you can actually follow. Taking a bite-sized action can make things feel concrete, and allow you to build momentum and earn confidence.
