Meaning of the Page of Swords in a Reading
The Court Cards in the Tarot Cards are usually about people in our lives. Pages in particular usually indicate younger people under the age of 18 and even smaller children. These people will usually be one of the astrology air signs, such as Aquarius, Libra or Gemini.
Pages are also quite similar to Aces in that they indicate new beginnings in life, depending on the suit they are. The air element is linked to Swords and therefore is all about the mind and ideas. Hence, our new beginnings can be mental in nature.
When we get many Pages in a reading, such as a Celtic Cross Reading which uses ten cards, we are either dealing with many new starts in life or we are surrounded by young people, perhaps children. These can be either our own or other people’s.
Pages can also indicate a degree of naivety, or a sense of immaturity. In this card, we may know a young person who is very clever but has yet to develop their new ideas. Or perhaps we ourselves may need to deepen our initial thoughts. This card can talk about studying or learning something new, and the curiosity that goes with that.

Perhaps he is a little naive still.
His youth shows that he is physically young, or at the very least, young in thought and word. He stands on land that is lush, indicating that he has an abundance of new ideas and curiosity to lead him in the right direction.
