Page of Pentacles
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.
The Page of Pentacles can be used to identify an intelligent young person, a scholar, a young person who enjoys learning new things. When the Page of Pentacles represents a new event, this event will more than likely be concerned with the querent's material welfare.
In a reading regarding spiritual issues, the Page of Pentacles could indicate a new dimension added to the querent's spiritual life. An event that will bring a certain richness that the querent hasn't enjoyed before. The Page of Pentacles could also indicate a new beginning of a material nature, such as a new and unexpected source of income, the sale of a project. Some readers interpret this card as meaning a change for the better.
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.
Reversed, the Page of Pentacles suggests we stop daydreaming about new things - perhaps it would be better to pay attention to matters at hand.
