Page of Pentacles - Tarot Card Description

The Page of Pentacles is a young man who stands alone in a field full of freshly blossoming flowers. Behind him in the distance to his right is a grove of lush trees, probably fruit bearing trees of some sort, and to his left lies a newly furrowed field which promises an abundant harvest. The page walks slowly as though he were unaware of anything around him other than the golden coin which seems to float in his hands.

The Page of Pentacles, like the pages of all the suits, is a card of new beginnings, of inspiration and the initial stages of a creative project or venture. The young man is absorbed by the coin in his hands which represents his goals and dreams. Pentacles correspond to the alchemical element of earth, and in this sense the coin may symbolise the beginnings of sensual awareness not only in terms of money and its value, but also in terms of a growing awareness of the importance of health and other material needs.

The Page of Pentacles is a card of dreams and the desire to fulfil those dreams in the material world. If you encounter this card in a reading, there is an indication that you may be in the midst of a new undertaking such as a hobby, business venture, or the beginning of a new educational experience. In any case, the page is a sign of enthusiasm and desire. He does not indicate the fulfilment of dreams as much as the initial motivation and energy to begin the process of creating those dreams in reality. This is a card of encouragement; castles in the air may be beautiful in theory, but now is the time to begin to put foundations under them.

Pages tend to see only one side of a topic - and they're totally enthused with the prospects. Pages can be thought of as inexperienced - since experience usually teaches us to look at the big picture. Unfortunately, experience often leaves us jaded and unwilling to take chances or try new things - which is why it's good to exercise the aspects of a Page from time to time. Pentacles usually denote material or physical things - this might be money or work-related, but it could also be other material things.

Page of Pentacles - Reversed Tarot Card Meanings

Reversed, the Page of Pentacles suggests we stop daydreaming about new things - perhaps it would be better to pay attention to matters at hand.

When the Page of Pentacles is reversed, it suggests that there are current blockages standing in your way of achieving your goals. It may be that you haven't planned sufficiently, or that you have become lazy and complacent and have lost sight of your goal. You need to review your goals and think again about why you were originally motivated to achieve them. Think about what it will be like once you achieve that goal, and become re-committed to your objectives.

You may also be focusing on short-term pleasures and desires rather than sustainable and long-term goals. You will need to move beyond material satisfaction and towards what will bring you sustainable happiness and fulfilment.
