The Page of Cups as feelings - a crush?
Typically, I perceive the Knight, Queen, and King of Cups as representing more profound and intense romantic emotions compared to the Page of Cups. I'm curious - might the Page of Cups suggest having a crush (in a reading about X's feelings for someone)? Similar to the high-school experience of having a crush on a classmate?
The Page of Cups as feelings - always crush?
To me, neither the Queen nor the King implies any sort of crush; they've moved beyond the initial stage. As you mentioned, they represent established romantic behavior, indicating control, emotional understanding, and stability that comes with time.
On the other hand, the Page serves as the spark, akin to the Ace but with a more focused energy. The Page could signify the beginning of a new affair with a specific person, and that individual might be identifiable in the spread. The Page is all about directing attention toward someone and initiating contact, whether through a call, an email, a wink, or subtle body language. The outcome of this initiation is uncertain, but it marks the start of something. Even those of us who left high school years ago can still experience that spark from time to time!

I perceive the Page much like the Ace, where the Ace symbolizes the surge of emotions and the Page represents the actual expression of those emotions. The range of emotions being expressed can vary at different stages, whether it's a crush, the desire to date someone, the wish to live with a loved one, the aspiration to get married, or the longing to start a family and actually having a baby. These diverse stages all stem from the birth of new emotions. It could manifest as a heartfelt love letter or, in some cases, reflect a certain level of emotional immaturity in their feelings toward you.

I concur with the insights shared about the Page of Cups representing the initial stage of feelings, akin to a crush that often arises when someone is just getting acquainted with someone they like. These feelings may be deemed as immature, a phase that many of us have experienced when encountering someone special. What's intriguing is that I don't perceive it as merely an empty crush; rather, it signifies the Page's current emotional state. Only time, as revealed by the cards, will unveil whether this initial crush evolves into something more profound, potentially transforming the Page into a central figure in the relationship, perhaps assuming the role of the King.

I view Page of Cups not as inherently immature. Immaturity knows no age boundaries; it's a shared experience that transcends age groups. Many, including myself and friends well beyond their teenage years, can attest to this. Pages represent the grounded aspect of their respective Elements. The Page of Cups might signify a physical attraction, a natural catalyst that may or may not pave the way for a more profound connection. Nature ingeniously employs physical attraction as a means to kindle people's interest in each other, and there's nothing intrinsically superficial or immature about this phenomenon.

Being immature doesn't necessarily equate to being childish; it simply implies being in a stage that is not yet fully developed. Regarding the original post, indeed, the Page of Cups can signify a crush.
Dear friends!
Thank you so much for your insightful response. Your perspective on the Page of Cups as not inherently immature resonates deeply with my understanding. I appreciate your nuanced take on maturity, acknowledging that it's a universal experience cutting across age boundaries. Your emphasis on the Page of Cups representing a grounded aspect within the realm of attraction adds a beautiful layer to its interpretation. It's a refreshing viewpoint that aligns well with the complexities of human connections.
Your words have added depth to my understanding, and I'm grateful for your thoughtful contribution to the discussion. Cheers to sharing insights and expanding our perspectives!
Best regards, Will

Queens and Kings represent established romantic behavior, while the Page signifies a spark and the initiation of contact with someone specific. It marks the beginning of something, reminiscent of the spark experienced even beyond high school years!
