What does Page of Swords mean as someone's feelings?

Page of Swords drawn to describe how someone feels, with an honest note on what a card can and cannot tell you about another person's inner life.

As feelings

Communication in an early stage: lots of talking, unclear substance.

The card describes the phase of endless conversation before anything has been established, which is genuinely enjoyable and is not yet information about whether the thing will work.

Reversed, gossip, or an untrustworthy account of events. Third-hand information about a relationship is this Page reversed, and acting on it is how ordinary situations become complicated ones.

As somebody's feelings, it reads as interested and unsettled: thinking about you a great deal, and not yet clear what any of it amounts to.

What a card can honestly tell you here

A card drawn to represent another person's feelings does not read their mind. What it can do is describe the dynamic as it reaches you: what is being expressed, what the shape of the connection is from where you sit.

That is a real answer and a smaller one than the question usually wants. Readers who promise more than that are not being straight with you.

A better question with the same card: what is this connection actually like, and what do I need from it?

Upright

Curiosity, new ideas, information gathering. Ask the questions.

Vigilance and a fast mind, applied to something new. The card favours the beginner's question, which is frequently the one that exposes what everybody else has stopped examining.

As a person he is alert, talkative and unproven: quick rather than wise, and aware of the difference less often than he should be.

Reversed

Gossip, cynicism, all talk. Scattered thinking.

Or information used carelessly: sharing what should have been held, which is this Page's characteristic damage and is usually done without malice.

The cynicism reading is worth separating from scepticism. Scepticism asks for evidence; cynicism has decided in advance, and one of them is a form of thinking.

Draw it for yourself

Reading about a card is not the same as drawing one. A single-card reading takes about a minute and answers your question rather than a general one.
