Asking questions out of curiosity; watching closely in order to learn.
Page of Swords upright
Asking questions out of curiosity; watching closely in order to learn. Swords belong to air: thought, words and conflict. A Swords card points at a decision or a story you are telling yourself.
Page of Swords reversed
A remark out of place; passing on what you heard without weighing it.
A reversed card is not automatically bad news. It can mean the upright meaning is weaker, turned inward, or flipped; the cards around it tell you which.
In love and relationships
Watching with curiosity; asking questions but not yet making a move.
Work and money
The information-gathering stage; looking closely at a new subject.
Advice
Curiosity is good, but you don't have to repeat everything you learn right away. Let information sit for a while. Not passing on what you hear until you've checked it protects you.
Is Page of Swords yes or no?
Maybe. This card does not give a clean yes or no. The answer depends on a choice that is still yours to make.
Astrological correspondence
In the Golden Dawn system, which the Rider-Waite-Smith deck was drawn within, Page of Swords corresponds to Earth of Air (root of Air).
