We’ve all asked it. Sometimes out loud, sometimes in silence. “Does he love me?” It’s the question that sends many seekers to the cards, hoping for clarity where there’s only confusion. And more often than not, when the Page of Swords shows up in a love reading, it adds another layer to the story, not a straight answer, but an invitation to look closer.
We’ve seen the Page of Swords arrive at the exact moment someone needs to cut through the noise of mixed signals and emotional avoidance. It’s a card that doesn’t lie, even when the person in question might be lying to themselves.
Meet the Page: Curious, Cautious, and Complicated
The Page of Swords is clever. Sharp. Watchful. When they appear in a love reading, they can represent someone who’s still figuring out their emotional truth, someone who wants to connect, but can’t quite let down their guard. You ask “Does he love me?” and the Page says: “He’s thinking about it. He’s curious. But he’s not ready to act.”
This energy can show up as someone who’s constantly watching your stories, liking your posts, asking questions, but never fully stepping up. The type who talks a lot but reveals very little. You might be stuck decoding subtext and second-guessing your gut.
The Page isn’t malicious. They’re just not emotionally mature enough to own their feelings yet. And that’s the red flag.
Avoidance, Mind Games, and Mixed Signals
The Page of Swords isn’t a master manipulator, but they can stir up confusion without meaning to. Sometimes their interest is genuine. Other times, they’re feeding off attention or keeping you emotionally “on the line” while avoiding commitment.
In a relationship reading the energy of the Page can reveal a partner who is emotionally disconnected, someone who intellectualises everything and avoids vulnerability. You might sense a connection, but it never deepens. They know the right things to say, but they’re not saying them from the heart.
And so you ask again: “Does he love me, or does he just like the idea of me?”
Tarot Doesn’t Just Answer — It Asks
Part of the frustration in relationships like this is not having a solid answer. The Page of Swords teaches us that sometimes the truth is still forming. It also asks us to examine our own role. Are we ignoring the signs? Are we hoping they’ll change, even though they’re showing us who they are?
Tarot holds up a mirror. And when that mirror is the Page of Swords, it’s asking for honesty. Not just from them, but from you.
If you’ve found yourself endlessly looking for signs in everything they say or do, take a breath. This card is your prompt to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect with your own clarity.
What Comes Next: Your Clarity, Your Choice
The Page doesn’t offer a conclusion. They offer a moment of decision. You can keep hoping, or you can ask for what you need. If they shy away, there’s your answer.
Our gifted psychic readers are here to help you move beyond the guessing game. Whether it’s love, closure, or finding your own voice again, we’re ready when you are.
A true connection doesn’t leave you in the dark. When someone loves you, they let you know. The Page may be holding back, but you don’t have to.
