The meaning and interpretation of the Page of Swords card in fortune telling and layouts for love and relationships

Direct card position

In personal life, the direct Princess of Swords card means a conflict initiated by a partner, or an aggravation of long-standing disagreements that threatens to destroy the union. This may be expressed in a sudden cooling of partners who recently loved each other so much; in a stream of reproaches, in disappointment that has been accumulating for a long time, in the splashing out of old grievances or simply some everyday little things that have reached a certain “critical mass.” It is clear that such a surge of accumulated emotions can greatly aggravate the situation and even lead to a breakup. However, the Page of Swords can also mean an opportunity to re-strengthen the union through a cleansing conflict.

The meaning and interpretation of the Page of Swords card in layouts and fortune telling for personality assessment

Direct card position

When the Page of Swords appears as a court card and appears upright, it symbolizes a dark-haired young man (regardless of gender), most likely born under the Zodiac Sign of Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. This is a person who cares about everything, he has so much vital energy that he, without hesitation, spends it both on himself and on others. He is sociable, outgoing, very smart and savvy. Unfortunately, in addition to the intolerable habit of “digging up” details from the lives of his loved ones or people he simply knows, this person is distinguished by an absolutely incredible ability to confuse any matter with which fate confronts him. In addition, he is incredibly talkative, so the fortuneteller needs to think very carefully before making contact with him. Sometimes the direct Page of Swords describes a treacherous young lady who will cause (or try to do) harm to the fortuneteller out of envy or malice, and sometimes simply in search of a thrill.

Reversed card position

In an inverted position, the Page of Swords court card indicates a quitter, an “eternal student” without a goal in life, a parasite or a person who psychologically exhausts the one who was “lucky” to once bring him closer to himself, to let him into his life. This is a born spy and intriguer, hiding under the guise of courtesy and goodwill. The Page of Swords does not yet have strength and power, but can already be unpleasant and dangerous: he has all the makings of an overly curious, malicious and malicious personality.

Meaning and interpretation of the Page of Swords card as a card of the day

Today you will be criticized, and your proposals may be rejected. Be prepared for this and do not try to immediately launch a counterattack. Perhaps the criticism you will have to listen to actually contains a lot of value. Listen to her, and then, perhaps, a lot will become clearer for you.

Advice from the Page of Swords card in fortune telling and layouts

Control yourself; uncontrolled behavior and the desire for revenge can harm you too.

The card is characterized by an unambiguous indication of renewal, a remarkable provocation. The card has different meanings, but there is something that unites everyone.

When this Arcana appears, one can judge an extraordinary personality with significant potential. We can talk about a person with a difficult character, and this undoubtedly sets him apart from other people. And the card can also have a more negative character, where a person is already in a difficult situation, trying to complicate everything, aggravate it.

In more serious circumstances, he turns on his childishness instead of serious actions. The card characterizes a young person, mostly female, who has an analytical mind, is very smart, energetic and emotional.

Under the influence of this card, a person quarrels almost out of nowhere, behaves absurdly and pettyly. Unpleasant news or events are expected that will prevent already planned plans from coming true.

However, these troubles will be fleeting and insignificant, which means that no long-term serious problems are expected. He can be arrogant and hot-tempered depending on situations.

It is very important that a person exercise caution in his statements, especially if they concern influential people and management. Some employees may have too “big ears”, and their own language will bring you a lot of troubles and problems.

An inverted card speaks of cunning tricks and obstacles in business. A person may lose his vigilance and misunderstand the words spoken. He is capable of ridiculing a person close to him and causing him pain, despite the fact that no one loves him.

Page of Swords: Meaning in Love and Relationships

There are disagreements and conflict situations with the Page of Swords card. All these conflicts can be of different nature. If, for example, for someone this card means a difference of opinion, then for someone it will bring major quarrels and scandals.

Of course, there are no visible consequences, just an ordinary dispute can turn into too big a scandal. And if this is an established family, then divorce is not excluded.

Perhaps the main reason will be old grievances that unexpectedly pop up again. In addition, coldness in the relationship of one partner to another can therefore lead to separation. It should also be noted that an assertive nature can also become a reason for separation.

The card speaks of relationships in which sarcasm, deception, and mutual misunderstanding are implied. The reversed Page of Swords for love indicates negative and unpleasant information. She talks about a situation that occurs in the family of a person in a neglected state.

If a family is expecting a divorce, then the divorce process will certainly not be without litigation, insults and reproaches. Even if two spouses sort things out between themselves, there will be some fuss here, and, of course, you shouldn’t expect any favorable results either.

Page of Swords: Meaning in Situation and Question

There are problems in relationships with work colleagues and superiors. True, the interpretation is ambiguous, much depends on the essence of the matter. This can be expressed in disobedience to superiors, quarrels in the team, and possibly in the form of a struggle for position. But all this is not good, since you can earn a reprimand from management, and as a rule, this will be an undeserved reprimand.

A person may feel anxious about his new projects. But we shouldn’t forget about the creative side of the Page of Swords, because even in a problematic situation you can disrupt the usual course of things and bring something good into things, raising them to a new qualitative level.

The card speaks of dirty methods in labor activity. A person takes on obligations and responsibilities, but does not carry out the assignment and weaves intrigues. Arkan indicates that a person should pay more attention to the documentation before signing anything.

Don't trust everything they promise. The card is characterized by difficult relationships with business people, and new methods of work are completely untimely.

A person with this card can be described as an eternal student. In fact, he is a slacker, what else can you look for, he has no goal in life. He is also called a spy and intriguer, who hides under the mask of a benevolent and kind person.

Page of Swords: The meaning of the card of the day

The card of the day suggests that the person will hear criticism addressed to him, his proposals will most likely be rejected. You just need to prepare yourself for this from the beginning, so that later you don’t get upset and launch a counterattack. By the way, criticism can be very useful, as it carries something valuable.

If a person listens to the words spoken, then much will become clearer in his life. There will definitely come a moment in a person’s life when he will be able to reveal his potential, because he has everything for this: sociability, ingenuity, intelligence, contact.

A person has such strong energy under the influence of the Page of Swords that it is not so easy for people around him to find a common language with him, and generally have some common affairs. But, however, there is absolutely no need to hide your emotions.

If a person experiences irritation for any reason, he should behave naturally. He does not need to hide his discontent behind masks. Only when the problem is not fundamentally important should you remain silent and not waste your energy on it.

The inverted page symbolizes a person who was traumatized in childhood. So his behavior is a little harsh. He loves to make fun of his interlocutors. Most often, he does not realize that he is hurting them with his caustic remarks.

In large companies of strangers, the Jack of Swords is capable of losing speech due to his shyness.

Often symbolizes that the questioner’s words will be misunderstood, viewed from the wrong angle, which will lead to some disagreements. In terms of health, it may mean a weakened immune system. From the point of view of magicians and shamans, it means initiation that a magician undergoes at a certain age. Witchcraft visions. Or the ability to abstract, to think beyond the mundane, which, by the way, is often taken in a completely wrong light.

The Page of Swords tarot card characterizes a purposeful, energetic person next to you

Personality card

The Page of Swords tarot card characterizes a purposeful, energetic person next to you. He always cares about everything. He spends a lot of his life force on his own and on other people's affairs. He is never interested in whether his action will serve for the good or vice versa.

Usually this is a boy or girl in your environment. Due to his youth, this is an inexperienced person, moderately naive, somewhere he is still studying, gaining experience, depending on someone. Often evokes maternal or paternal feelings in older people. Therefore, it is not in last place in society, thanks to its patrons, which does not always have a good effect on the patrons themselves. This man is charming, smart, resourceful. It doesn’t take him much time to take the next step.

A person inspires trust, so those around him often trust him with their secrets and ask him what is the best thing to do. The Page of Swords can be an excellent listener. His advice may be quite useful.

The biggest danger in such people is their lack of appreciation. Those around him simply don’t know what the Page of Swords is capable of. They are mistaken about him, believing that due to his youth he will not be able to harm.

We choose a card that will symbolize the questioner - the significator. For us, this is the Queen of Wands.

We place the significator in the center. Shuffle the cards. We pull, we begin to lay out a cross on top. The first, second cards, above the queen, the third and fourth are on the side, then we continue to lay out the fifth, sixth and seventh down under the queen.

What happened?

• Page of Swords.
• Four of Cups.
• Knight of Swords.
• Sun.
• Three cups.
• Ten cups.

The Emperor reflects the general state of mind. This lasso means fatherly strength and wisdom. The querent's state of mind. Reflects just the exciting question of whether it is worth continuing the relationship.

The Page of Swords here has an emotional relationship with the questioner in the past. Symbolizes past malicious gossip that affected the relationship between the querent and his partner. A woman was betrayed by a close friend.

The Four of Cups here describes events of the past. He says that the relationship goes back a long way.

Due to circumstances arising under the influence of the previous card, the woman had reasons to postpone the wedding.

Next, the Knight of Swords, Page of Swords card fell out, which characterizes the events of the present. Warns of hostility and confrontation. The influence of the environment is determined by the Sun lasso.

The final result is ten cups, which means wedding as a result. Symbol of home happiness. A woman is surrounded by those she loves. This card enhances the influence of good arcana and neutralizes bad cards. So the alignment turned out to be very promising.

Appearance of people The Page of Swords is short in stature

What kind of man is a page of swords

The appearance of these people is short in stature. Thin. Women behave inconspicuously. These individuals try to shine more with their minds than devote time to their appearance.

The reversed card, on the contrary, describes attractive, noticeable guys and girls.

1. First of all, the Page of Swords in the tarot takes on excellent intuition. It may seem that the Jack of Swords is cowardly, but it is not. He simply selects the right tactics and studies all the approaches and tricks that can be used. It is completely useless to argue with this person; he has an answer to everything. Another weapon is subtle sarcasm. He often teases others with his jokes, which are mostly harmless. Doesn't like to use brute force.
2. The Page of Swords is almost never broke. The money comes to him on its own. But, due to his laziness, he only takes on work that does not require much effort.
3. Very dependent on moods. And his behavior never hides his attitude. A bad mood means that today he will walk around like a cloud and say unpleasant things all day long.
4. In stressful situations he can show enormous willpower. Especially in situations where you need to fight back or show character.
5. Relationships with people are not entirely easy. Therefore, the jack of swords needs a familiar circle of relatives in which he can be himself.
6. In fact, he is a very smart, erudite interlocutor with whom it is always interesting to have a conversation. He knows a lot, but sometimes he regrets that he cannot get along with people as well as those who, in his opinion, are stupid.

In health plans

In layouts, the Page of Swords for health symbolizes a youthful person, but his health is far from perfect. It may indicate vegetative-vascular dystonia and other not very pleasant manifestations. Or warn about minor injuries and cuts.

Inverted means illnesses associated with mental disorders. This is associated with the character traits that the card characterizes; constant gossip, discord, and incomprehensible miscalculations lead to mental disorders. Especially when the page of Swords is paired with the Moon, this threatens suicidal tendencies and paranoid delusions. In less serious cases, it speaks of problems with speech. May describe a person with autism.

Is the Page of Swords favorable or not?

The Page of Swords is not the most favorable card. Although, if you look from the point of view of internal perception, then it is different for everyone. The fact that the young man on the card is playing with a weapon and is in high spirits may not mean that he is going to do anything bad to someone. This symbolizes harmless jokes.

Most often, pages fall to women as their children. Cards always symbolize either events or people. So, in the scenario of a married woman, the page is her child, with whom her thoughts are constantly occupied. And then it becomes clear that he is nice, his elders patronize him, he is pampered, and due to his too young age, he is capricious and a little selfish.

In a relationship, this is also not always a malicious person, depending on what cards it comes up with in combination. This may just mean that a chill has run through, and the routine has become a little boring. Or maybe the partner was simply offended by a sharp word thrown at him and is now sulking.

• In layouts, the page of Swords for health, falling out with the Moon in a pair, can also be interpreted differently, depending on the other arcana that have fallen out. The page of Swords is dominated by the element of air, which symbolizes a creative personality. It's just a creative impulse, a dream.
• In fortune-telling with unambiguous answers, the page of Swords in its literal meaning symbolizes “yes,” and in an inverted sense, most often, “no.” So, don’t be upset if you get the Page of Swords and rush to conclusions. You always need to look at the interpretation from all sides in order to correctly, detachedly assess the situation.
• All jacks signify a certain life chance that fate presents. In any case, this is a certain life experience, a lesson that you need to take away for the future.

The card says that you have an upcoming event that requires special attention. If this is a working moment, then you should pay attention to the papers that you are given to sign. In family matters, you should watch your language so as not to offend your significant other. You have to look at life from a slightly different perspective. You will have to quarrel a little with the person spreading rumors about you, and put him in his place.

Initiative. Vigilance. Smartness. Insight. Sharp mind. Listening skills. Intriguing news, revealed secretly. Secret Service. Investigation, searches. Information from the Internet. Spy. An inquisitive, energetic child or young person. Student. Analyst.
Advice
Accept criticism and learn from it.

Warning
“Don’t spit against the wind”: when criticizing others, be prepared to listen to a lot of unpleasant things yourself.

Card of the day
Today the wind is blowing against you. You will be criticized, your proposals may be rejected. Be prepared for this and do not try to immediately launch a counterattack. Perhaps the criticism you will have to listen to actually contains a lot of value. Listen to her, and then, perhaps, a lot will become clearer for you.

Teresa Francis-Chong, Terry Silvers. "Tarot for Beginners."

The page walks quickly, carrying a naked sword in his hand - a symbol of clarity and sharpness of mind. He learns how to choose the best possible, is ready to accept responsibility for any outcome and extract information from what happens. You notice that the Page has raised his sword - the blade is pointing upward.

Sometimes you need to be detached and dispassionate, to rise above problems in order to see the long term. In other cases, detachment is not so good: if the tasks that need to be worked on are not resolved, then detachment means indecisiveness. Remember that Pages, like other Court cards, symbolize real living people you may meet or your emotional states.

This card represents a resourceful, intelligent person with independent thinking. He passionately strives for knowledge and knows how to benefit from any situation. It is you? Or someone you know?

Questions to ask yourself when drawing the Page of Swords

• Do you learn from your mistakes or get stuck in them?
• Who or what are you withdrawing from?
• Are you excluding yourself from life?
• Under what conditions could you be more decisive?

Key Ideas

Fortune telling in half a minute

Annie Lionnet. “Tarot. Practical guide."

The Page's youth suggests that he is capable of acting impulsively.

The vigilance of the Page may, on occasion, give way to rashness.

Talkativeness. Mind. Wit.

The Page of Swords (or the Princess in the Thoth Tarot) is the messenger of the air element. He is a master of words and symbolizes the emergence of new ideas and means of expression. Like all Pages, his ability to think in new ways is still in its infancy. In the Marseille Tarot, the Page of Swords is depicted standing guard, shaking his sword and vigilantly watching for a possible attack from the enemy. Since he is still very young, it is possible that he has not yet learned how to properly handle a sword, thereby warning us against inept actions in the current situation.

Description

Meaning in fortune telling

Reversed meaning

P. Scott Hollander. "Tarot for Beginners."

The Page of Swords represents a person playing at friendship and also predicts bad news.

Description

Sometimes he holds the sword by the hilt with both hands. He is not usually dressed in armor, but is well dressed. The clothing is often in the colors of the Knight's clothing.

In many decks, the figure is filled with a sense of its own importance. The Page is also characterized by a certain femininity. Sometimes it seems that he is looking for an enemy or expecting him to appear at any moment.

Inner meaning

The Page does not have the power and authority of other face cards, but can be just as unpleasant: he has all the makings of an overly curious, malicious and malicious personality.

Like his symbolic parents and like the Knight, the Page can be attractive in its own way - lively, confident, active. But this young man is a master of innuendo, behind-the-scenes intrigue and caustic remarks.

The page "stuck"; a person who joins power in the hope of merging with it or pretending to be associated with it. He (or she) can feign friendship as long as it suits his interests. Being a partner in any enterprise, he will let the Questioner down either intentionally or through carelessness and laziness.

If the card does not represent a person, then be prepared for bad news, malicious gossip, betrayal and treachery.

Value in the layout

Inverted, or negative: the same bad intentions, bad news, but to a greater extent. All this can arise at the most unexpected moment and from the most unexpected place.

Mary Greer. "The Complete Book of Reversed Tarot Cards."

The Page of Swords looks like a baseball batter: his eyes are focused on the ball, and his posture indicates composure and readiness for action. Are you or someone you know now curious about the future - what will happen next? - or, if confrontation in one form or another is expected, they are ready to defend and repel an attack. Perhaps you are courageous and daring. In interpersonal communication you are collected, flexible and quickly oriented, but if you are threatened, you can become sarcastic and spiteful. You probably try new ideas and technologies that require quick adaptation, or play games that require both physical endurance and intelligence, cunning, dexterity and good reflexes. Maybe you're doing troubleshooting, conflict resolution, or crisis management, or gathering facts and information before starting a new project. You learn and use logical thinking, knowledge of foreign languages, speaking and writing skills, research a particular issue, conduct scientific research, engage in design or computer technology. Or perhaps you are now spying or spying on someone. You can improvise on the fly, you are witty and thoughtful. Using your analytical skills, you strike with precision at the most opportune moment.

Perhaps the card in the most literal sense of the word is associated with the use of a knife, sword, or other piercing or cutting weapon or instrument. You need to remain vigilant and observant. If the card represents a child, he will be suspicious and cautious - perhaps due to early trauma or betrayal. Also, the Page of Swords can indicate the early development of a child and his inquisitive mind or the immature reactions of the air signs of the zodiac (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius). There may be news about difficulties or problems, about negotiations, contracts, legal proceedings, as well as news that includes any gossip or unreliable stories. In general, the card is characterized by closedness or, conversely, openness and a thirst for new things.

Traditional meanings: espionage, secrets, curiosity. Surveillance. Observer, researcher, guardian. Treasurer, manager, clerk, steward. Exams, notes. Counting, calculating, thinking, thinking. Student, scientist, actor.

Reversed Page (Princess) of Swords

The page on the card of the Waite-Smith deck stands in a pose of protection. This may indicate childhood trauma and an inability to cope with its consequences in the present. You or someone else may suddenly buckle or try to assert themselves by hurting and humiliating others. Stories and gossip may be malicious and slanderous. You like to argue simply for the love of art and to tease your interlocutors. On the other hand, you may genuinely not be aware of the effect your words and actions are having on them.

You may avoid social events and even simple socializing, you may be reluctant to talk to large groups of people or share your ideas, and you may be speechless on occasion. You do not like to talk about yourself and prefer to keep the details of your personal life secret. Another manifestation of this card is incoherent and illogical speech and empty chatter. Your bravado may be just a posture.

Possible misunderstanding of spoken words and written texts. Perhaps you have to bend the rules at work. You lack confidence in your own ideas.

When projecting this card onto other people, they will appear to you as cunning, cruel, deceitful, or capable of betrayal. You can see conspiracies at every turn. You may consider yourself unprepared, lacking some important mental qualities or technical skills, and therefore be overly cautious.

This card can represent a young person who is in trouble with the law, or a child who is suffering from divorce and parental alienation. He can be humiliated, ridiculed, shamed, boycotted. Or perhaps he is just overcoming the consequences of such an attitude towards himself.

In terms of health, these include speech difficulties, autism, stuttering, and psychological or physical abuse. In addition, the card may mean a weakened immune system. If other cards confirm this, suicidal tendencies are possible. News can be sudden and unexpected - it literally falls out of the blue, causing one upset. A project or process fails to get off the ground due to a lack of logic and planning, or due to disagreements.

From a shamanic and magical point of view, the reversed Page of Swords denotes age-related initiation tests such as a vision quest or a sword in the stone that only the true king of England can draw. It is also the ability to think in imaginary categories.

Traditional Reversed Meanings: weak, insignificant person. Impostor. Lack of protection. Disease. Conspiracy, attack. Sudden, surprise. Unexpected, unconscious. Amazing, extraordinary. Speak and act without preparation, improvise.

Larisa Moon. "All the secrets of the Tarot."

Key phrase

Description of the card and its internal meaning

In fact, the Page is still a child, the beloved and spoiled child of his parents, so he is not dressed in armor, but well dressed. In many decks, the Page figure is filled with a sense of self-importance and ambition, it seems that this person is looking for his enemy or waiting for his appearance.

The Page does not have the strength and power of other figured cards of the Swords suit, but can be just as unpleasant - he has all the makings of an overly curious and malicious personality.

The page is a master of intrigue, a man striving with all his might to join power. For this, he is ready to do anything: he can become charming enough to gain supporters, he can even feign friendship if this suits his interests. However, he was and remains an intriguer, a traitor and a gossip.

Connection of the card with other occult sciences

Card meaning

Straight position

If the card does not represent a person, but a situation, then the Questioner should prepare for bad news, gossip, illness, betrayal and treachery.

Inverted position

Daniela Chris. "Magic book of Tarot. Fortune telling."

Inverted - an overly sharp mind and, as a result, a manifestation of cruelty and intolerance towards others, this is a cynic.

Astrological meaning:
Mars in the 3rd house or in a tense aspect with Mercury: seeds of discord, conflict.
JACK OF SWORDS
The Jack of Swords, like other jacks, represents a certain chance or opportunity that opens up to us, an external driving impulse. The Jack of the suit of Swords, therefore, often means clarification, clarification of the situation, some kind of fresh stream, thanks to which the true meaning of what is happening is suddenly revealed to us, and even the most confusing matter becomes simple and understandable. Most often, however, this occurs through conflict, scandal or harsh conversation, which the Jack of Swords can indicate.

This person will have noble aspirations and desires to have a clear vision. But at the same time, it would be a mistake to expect great achievements from him now. He strives for perfection, but has not yet achieved it. This is the ideal friend, always ready to help. Someone you patronize, or someone who patronizes you. A person with whom you willingly exchange thoughts. A great assistant who wants to learn something.

Straight position:
Astrological equivalents: Aries.
This is a pioneer. Typically, the Page of Swords represents a young man (regardless of gender) who is discovering the world around him and trying to understand the laws by which it lives. The Page of Swords is naive, inexperienced; he often studies somewhere. Most likely, he occupies a dependent position. Sometimes it's just an infantile person. It usually arouses the maternal or paternal instinct in others, and many people willingly patronize it.

Inverted position:
Astrological equivalents: Mars in water signs.
The inverted Page of Swords indicates a quitter, a person without a goal in life, an “eternal student,” a person who has not yet come into his own, but who still has time to come to his senses.
Sometimes the Page of Swords is a character whose dependence on someone places a heavy burden on the owner. The card can also mean an ordinary parasite or a person who psychologically exhausts someone who was lucky enough to once and somehow “bless” such a Page of Swords.
If the card means an action.
A. In a straight position
The card says that at the moment there is every reason to judge the work done or the completed action, or the completed process, which is indicated by subsequent cards. The results have already appeared, be able to see them.
B. reversed card
He says that in relation to the event that subsequent cards indicate, it is appropriate to ask the question: did it actually take place? Or did we just really want and wait for this event?

Evgeny Kolesov. "The ABC of Tarot".

The Messenger, also known as the Page or Slave of Swords.
A young man with a sword in his hand stands indecisive; he holds his sword like a toy. Clouds are piling up in the sky, birds are rushing about. This is a boy, still completely carefree, not knowing how many problems life is fraught with. But he already guesses about this, and he is frightened by the need to make decisions himself. However, this will pass; the only important thing is that he does not remain in this position forever, getting used to shifting responsibility to others.
When fortune telling in an upright position, it can mean an explanation, a clarification of relations through negotiations, a soft, “peaceful” solution to a problem.

Inverted:
Clinging to trifles, quarrels, heated debates and mutual insults until the end of the relationship.

Page of Swords

Straight position:
DIVINATION MEANINGS: power, supervision (overseer), secret service, vigilance, surveillance, testing, etc.

Reverse position:
REVERSE MEANINGS: same meanings, but with a more negative meaning; something that is unforeseen, an unprepared statement (lack of preparation); may also mean illness.

Description of the lasso:
PAGE. The page is a flexible, energetic figure holding a sword pointing upward in both hands, having suspended its rapid movement for now (ready to repel an attack).

JACK OF SWORDS
The Jack of Swords, like other jacks, represents a certain chance or opportunity that opens up to us, an external driving impulse. The Jack of the suit of Swords, therefore, often means clarification, clarification of the situation, some kind of fresh stream, thanks to which the true meaning of what is happening is suddenly revealed to us, and even the most confusing matter becomes simple and understandable. Most often, however, this occurs through conflict, scandal or harsh conversation, which the Jack of Swords can indicate. Therefore, it should be taken as a warning, prepare for the inevitable fight, or not delay it, so that the conflict will finally serve to clarify the essence of the matter.
