Today’s drawing brings us the Page of Pentacles.

Like the other Pages in the deck, Pages often represent a younger person – a child, or a person with youthful energy.  I also see the Page of Pentacles representing your inner child – follow your dreams, do what you enjoy, and you will be happy.  Another interpretation is that the Page of Pentacles represents a person realizing what they aspire to have – knowledge, finances, material possessions.

In the Universal Waite deck, the Page of Pentacles walks across a field of flowers.  Flowers represent joy and happiness.  In the background, we see trees and mountains.  I like to interpret the trees as “trees of wisdom”.  The mountains are obstacles, something necessary to conquer to reach our goals.  There is also a plowed field in the background.  This is a place to plant seeds – plant ideas.  Take care of them, nourish, and love.  As long as you do this, you will receive the fruits of your labor.  Altogether, the background represents that the foundation for your dreams – they are all around you.  All that you have to do is embrace what you are given and use these gifts to fulfill your hopes and dreams.

This is a very positive card – very encouraging.  It is a great card to see in a reading, especially if you have a business-related idea/goal, or new interest.  This card is telling you to plan, build your foundation, create a blueprint.  Use these guides and you will be pleased with the results!

Reversed: With the Page of Pentacles reversed, we see the Pentacle falling from the Page’s hand – he is now lost.  The wilderness surrounds him and now he is alone.  What he was working towards, is now gone.  I see this as a person that has lost interest in something that used to drive them

A few weeks ago, I read an interpretation of this that I liked.  Basically it stated the Pages as “problem children”.  People that are unwilling to accept the advice and guidance of others.  Instead of embracing the knowledge from others.  They have no guidance, therefore losing the path towards their aspirations.

When you see the Page of Pentacles reversed, think about what you are/were trying to accomplish.  How did you lose your path?  If you want to get there, what steps can you take to build a stronger foundation?

I was excited to draw this card today.  Yesterday’s daily card was the Ten of Pentacles.  I see this card as an affirmation that the things I am working towards, will make me happiest.  I need to accept the guidance from others and add their knowledge to my blueprints.  It may take a lot of work, but as long as I keep up with it, I will achieve my goals.
