· The Page Of Wands ·
MINOR ARCANA
Page. Enthusiasm. The beginner who has not been discouraged yet.
A young figure stands in open desert holding a tall wand, looking up at the leaves sprouting from its top.
He is not looking where he is going. His whole attention is on the wand, and the wand is alive and growing, and that is more interesting to him than the landscape.
The ground is empty. There is nothing around him, no path, no destination, nothing decided. That emptiness is not a problem in this card. It is the whole condition of being at the start.
Three pyramids stand far behind. Something ancient and enormous, and he has his back to it. He is not interested in what has already been built.
His stance is planted and easy. Nothing here is anxious.
This is somebody who has not yet been told what is difficult in life or how they should live it.
- Upright -
Enthusiasm. Discovery. Free spirit. A new interest.
The Page of Wands upright is the beginning of an appetite.
Something has caught your attention and you want to know more about it. A subject, a skill, a person, a possibility. Where this card appears, the interest is genuine and worth following even though you cannot yet say where it leads.
Pages are learners, and this one learns by doing rather than studying. He will not read about it. He will pick it up and find out. That is the correct approach for whatever this is.
There is a lack of self consciousness in the card that is worth borrowing. He is not worried about being bad at it, or about how it looks, or whether it is a sensible use of his time. Being a beginner does not embarrass him.
As a person, this is someone young in spirit rather than years: restless, enthusiastic, funny, unreliable about detail, full of plans. Good company and not who you ask to file the paperwork.
As news, it is a message that excites you. An invitation, an idea, an opening.
Say yes and work it out afterwards.
- Reversed -
Scattered. All talk. Impatience. Delayed news.
Reversed, the enthusiasm has nothing under it.
The most common reading is scattered energy. Six interests, none pursued past the first fortnight, a great deal of starting and no finishing. Reversed, this card asks you to choose one and stay with it past the point where it stops being novel.
It can mean all talk. Plans announced and never begun, a person who describes projects with great conviction and never ships any of them. If that is someone in your life, believe the pattern rather than the enthusiasm. If it is you, this is the card that says so kindly.
Reversed can indicate impatience with the boring part. Every skill has a stretch in the middle that is dull, and the Page reversed is the person who leaves at exactly that point.
There is also delayed or disappointing news. A message that has not come, or one that arrived flat.
- in Major Life Domains -
- Love -
Upright
Flirtation and early excitement. Something new and light and not yet serious, which is fine as long as you are not expecting otherwise.
Can indicate a younger person, or someone with a lot of energy and no plan.
Reversed
Interest that fizzles. Someone enthusiastic at the start and unreliable after, or a connection that was mostly novelty.
Reversed can also mean immaturity, in them or in the situation.
- Career and Money -
Upright
A new interest, a new field, an idea worth exploring. Good for training, learning and the early stage of anything.
With money, a small speculative move rather than a large one.
Reversed
Enthusiasm without follow through. A project abandoned in the early stage, or an idea talked about more than worked on.
With money, an impulsive decision worth examining before acting.
- Health -
Upright
Energy and appetite for something new. A good time to try a different form of movement.
Reversed
Starting and stopping. Consistency matters more than the choice of activity here.
- Yes or No -
Upright
Yes, and treat it as an experiment.
Reversed
Not yet. There is not enough behind it.
