Okay, so today I decided to dive into this whole “Page of Swords love” thing. I’ve been seeing it pop up in tarot readings and online, and frankly, I was curious. What’s the deal with this card and romance?
I started by, you know, actually looking at the card. I’ve got this Rider-Waite deck I’ve been using, and the Page of Swords shows this young person holding a sword, kinda looking off into the distance. Wind’s blowing, clouds are swirling… it doesn’t exactly scream “love” at first glance.
My First Attempts
My first step was just pulling the card in some simple love-related spreads. I did a basic three-card spread: past, present, future, focusing on a… let’s just call it a “developing situation” in my own life. And guess what? Page of Swords popped up in the “present” position.
Honestly, my initial reaction was, “Seriously?” I mean, swords are all about intellect, communication, and sometimes, conflict. Not exactly the warm fuzzies I was hoping for.
I dug around online, looking at interpretations. Some sites talked about the Page of Swords representing curiosity and asking questions in love, which, okay, I could kinda see that. Others mentioned it could signify a new relationship that’s still in the early stages, where you’re figuring things out. That felt… potentially relevant.
Getting My Hands Dirty (Metaphorically)
Next I decided to go back, I did some journaling, I focused on what it could mean.
I write down all the feelings, and thoughts, and let them out.
Then I did some simple spreads and I think it helped me.
- First, I put the spread on the table.
- Then, I made a cup of coffee and started to think.
- Next, I started to focus on all the details and did a meditation.
- Finally, I understood the real meaning of it.
The “Aha!” Moment (Maybe?)
I think the key with the Page of Swords in love isn’t about grand romantic gestures. It’s more about the mental side of things. It’s about being open-minded, communicating clearly, and maybe even being a little bit cautious. You’re still gathering information, you know? You’re not rushing into anything headfirst.
In my “situation,” I realized that maybe I was being a bit like the Page of Swords. I was analyzing things, maybe overthinking, and definitely asking a lot of questions (mostly in my head, but still). The card was a reminder to be present, to be curious, and to keep the lines of communication open, even if it felt a little awkward.
So, no, the Page of Swords isn’t a “love” card in the traditional sense. It’s not the Two of Cups or the Lovers. But it can represent a really important stage in a relationship, the one where you’re using your head as much as your heart. And honestly, that’s probably a good thing in the long run.
I’m still figuring this all out, of course. But I’m feeling a little more… optimistic?… about the whole Page of Swords in love thing. It’s a reminder that love isn’t always fireworks and roses. Sometimes, it’s about being smart, being curious, and taking things one step at a time.
