The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck holds to the oath bound medieval model, and thus is mundane in its depiction. An effeminate person is shown "swishing" his/her sword about in a cloudy sky, with the wind blowing clouds, hair, and trees. The Element of Air represents consciousness and the clouds being blown across the sky represent Emotions or Moods. Thus, the Rider-Waite card concentrates on the Mood fighter characteristics of this card. The yellow tights also imply the element of air, as yellow is the official color of elemental air. In more modern tarot decks, like the Thoth Tarot Deck, there are no Pages, instead there are Princesses. This is because of the Occult Knowledge of YHVH (Tetragrammaton). But you'll have to go to my nontraditional tarot blogs of the Thoth Tarot-Princess of Swords @ elitarotstrickingly.com to investigate this.

The Rider-Waite-Card, the Page of Swords, and the Connolly Tarot- Page of Swords, show Pages that are both facing away from the reader implying moodiness. Here the stormy clouds of mood are also shown with the sword presented in fighting position, representative of the Element of Air--- which the swords represent as a state of mind. In this case, the mental state is defensive. The Page is standing on the high ground, as overseeing is also an implication of this card. The Connolly Tarot Page of swords is dressed in colorful medieval clothes whereas, the Rider-Waite-Smith person is dressed in yellow, the color used for this Pythagorean Universal Air Element. This card also may present a caution about a young person's actions that may cause concern.

Surlily, some people will complain about the Pages projecting arrogance, and toughness, but this is a protective mask. S/he is a vulnerable and sensitive person who cannot allow an adversary to know what s/he is thinking.

When the Page of Swords is thrown in a Divination it implies:

• Authority.
• Overseeing.
• Secret service.
• Vigilance.
• Spying. 
• Examination.
• Active youth.

When the Page of Swords is reversed, it implies:

• An eviler side of the above qualities.
• What is unforeseen.
• An unprepared state.
• Sickness is also intimated.
• Arrogance.
