So far today I have not experienced any reversed Page of Swords energy. Knock Wood.
I do want to speak about gossip for a minute, however, as it's this reversed Page's modus operandi. Somehow, over the course of the last 500 years, the Patriarchy convinced us that gossip was bad, and that people (particularly women) who gossip are evil or witches. However, gossip has its beginnings in the very early days, when stories weren't written down but instead shared orally. Gossip is just storytelling. Whether it's told in hyperbole or not, all gossip has its roots in truth. If it didn't, it would just be a lie. That's a different entity. So, when you find yourself in a circle of gossip, don't feel bad. It's a way to communicate with your friends, get some inside scoop on what's going on in the world (very helpful at a time like this!) and become closer to everyone. If you do feel like the gossip is getting out of control, make a note to yourself to only gossip with what you know to be true. If you're not lying, you're storytelling, and that's what gossip is supposed to be. Grab some hot tea and spill the tea! 
The Page of Swords upright heralds the beginning of learning something new, or a fresh academic start. Although stubborn and intensely opinionated, the upright page is curious and intellectual.

Quick update - I didn't ship Tarot decks yesterday, as I was a little busy watching literally nothing happen in the US election. Sorry about that! I learned my lesson, and will try to not wait for news before doing anything. I could be immobile for weeks. Today's card is the Page of Swords, an excellent pull for the day after a confusing election.  Swords are air cards associated with intellect, but many of the numbered swords cards are rife with warnings, endings and pain.
It is the Page of Swords who heralds better news. The Page is the beginning of knowledge, or a fresh academic start. Although the Page of Swords might also be stubborn and intensely opinionated, they are curious and intellectual. Questions answered by Page of Swords: Who? A student What? A lesson Where?
