Reversed Page of Swords as Love Outcome

If you are asking about what is the outcome of a relationship, and you draw the Page of Swords reversed, that means that there could be issues with dishonesty in your relationship. Your person isn’t forthcoming, and you may even get a sense that they’re hiding something. Note that the Page of Swords is youthful energy, so their brand of “dishonesty” may be fibbing or telling little white lies. Maybe they’re embarrassed about a hobby, interest, or even kinks. This person may hide that they follow a load of attractive people on social media, but it’s unlikely that they’re hiding a whole spouse and family. Set boundaries, as only you get to decide what kind of fibs or what level of dishonesty you will tolerate.

The Page of Swords reversed as love outcome is a sign of mistrust. One or both of you could have stalkerish tendencies. Drawn upright, the Page of Swords is a curious and intellectual energy. However, when drawn in the reverse, the Page’s energy shifts from a healthy inquisitiveness to obsessive nosiness. They may demand to know what you’re doing, and with whom you’re doing it with, at all times. This may become an issue if you’re in a long-distance relationship, where this sort of behavior can feel suffocating.

If you are wondering about a potential relationship, the Page of Swords reversed as love outcome means one of you could be misled in this relationship. Be mindful of doing your full research on your potential person. If necessary, do a background check. Make sure that your person is who they say they are, and that they’re not misrepresenting themselves. Do they have a boyfriend or girlfriend tucked away in another city? Have they not deactivated their online dating profile after promising to go exclusive with you?

If you are in a new relationship, the Page of Swords reversed as love outcome means an inability to be fully honest. It’s perfectly normal to feel a little insecure, or like you can’t be yourself, at the beginning of a relationship. However, for this card to come out in a reading, you or your person could take this inability to a whole other level. Because this is page energy, the lies this person tells might not be that big. For example, they could tell little white lies to avoid offending you, they’ll fib to prevent you getting paranoid. But no matter how big or small a lie is, it will eventually get tiresome, and cause resentment and exhaustion in the long run. So, the advice here is to be as open as possible to each other very early on in the relationship.

If you are in an existing relationship, the Page of Swords reversed as love outcome means being in a directionless relationship. Page energy in a reading for a long-term relationship, can often indicate one or both parties being unable or unwilling to enter into a higher level of commitment.  Another thing that this card may indicate is a lack of honesty. While this card does not typically indicate bigger lies such as cheating, it can point to habitual lying. The Page’s energy can indicate lying out of fear of rejection or causing offense. Whatever the case may be, the lack of honesty needs to be addressed for this relationship to be something healthy.

If you are currently in separation with each other, the Page of Swords reversed as love outcome means obsessive behavior. If you are separated by distance, this card’s energies can go two ways: your person could become a bit stalkerish and controlling if they lack trust in you. Or, your person could be dishonest in what they’re doing when you’re not around. If you are inquiring about an ex you’re interested in reconciling with, your person is being downright immature. They have no intentions of doing the right thing, or they’re acting selfishly. If you give this person another chance, don’t expect this person to change or have grown up. They know better, but they simply don’t want to do better.
