When it comes to reading Tarot cards, there are certain cards that can cause a little bit of confusion. Especially the court cards, which are the Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages of each suit can be tricky to interpret.
I struggled for a while to understand these different cards, so I thought I would go through them and dive deep into their meanings and different interpretations. In this article, we will be looking at Tarot Pages.
So, how can we interpret these cards, and what do they mean for you?
How to Interpret Tarot Pages
In my guide to court cards, I mentioned that it was useful to see the court cards as a family. The Page is the youngest of the family, filled with childlike energy.
Tarot Pages represent youthfulness and potential. They see the magic in the world around them and have a passion for discovery. Tarot Pages are filled with hope and excitement, and usually appear to represent a beginning of a journey.
Pages are also messengers and may appear in a reading when news will be coming your way. There may be opportunities on the horizon for you with a Page.
Like the other court cards, there are different ways we can interpret Tarot Pages. They may represent someone in your life, an influence, or yourself. When wanting to figure out what a Page means for you in a reading, you must listen to your intuition and consider the context.
So, how can we understand Tarot Pages?
Pages as a Person
When the Tarot Pages represent a person, they are often childlike and naive. Remember, the Pages don’t have to represent someone who is a child. A Page can represent someone of any age.
They are young at heart and excited about the world around them. However, someone who is represented by a Page may be a bit immature. They may be feeling uncertain about their path, and therefore lack the drive to move forward.
When a Page appears in a reading to symbolize someone in your life, the universe is telling you that this person will be important to you in the near future.
Pages as You
When a Page crops up in a Tarot reading, it may reflect you. Let’s say you are performing a career spread and want to figure out if you should change your job. A Page appearing in the reading may reflect you and the beginning of your journey.
When a Page reflects you in a reading, it is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a Page. They are excited and ready to explore the world, but have they got all the skills necessary for their journey?
In the career reading, receiving a Page reflects your excitement. Yet, you need to work out if you are mature enough to change jobs. Do you have that drive to get things done?
Pages as an Influence
Sometimes, Tarot Pages will not represent you or someone in your life. They will represent an influence or situation.
So, how can we understand Pages in this way? Well, a Page usually signifies a lot of ideas and the beginning of a journey. There is a whole load of potential energy with a Page, and this is reflected in the reading.
Pages are usually pretty exciting cards to receive! They can also suggest that opportunities are coming your way.
The Page Becomes the Knight
When Tarot Pages crop up in a reading, I always like to consider the next step. The Page is the beginning of a journey, but the Page must become the Knight in order to progress.
If a Page represents you in a reading, what can you do to manifest and create from its energy? How can you, a Page, become a Knight?
The Four Tarot Pages and Their Meanings
Now we know how we can understand the Pages, let’s look at what distinguishes them from each other. They are pretty similar, so I know that they can cause a lot of confusion! They represent youthful energy, but how can we understand these in regard to the suits?
When learning the Pages (or any other court cards) we take the general meaning of them and add them to the meaning of each suit. Let’s go through them to figure out what each one represents!
The Page of Cups
The Suit of Cups is all about emotions and relationships. It is linked with the element of water, reflecting subconsciousness. There is an aspect of creativity with this suit, too.
When considering this with what we know about Pages, we can understand the Page of Cups to represent new opportunities regarding our emotions. It will often tell us that we need to reconnect with our inner child, working with our feelings and subconsciousness to really rediscover who we are.
The Page of Cups asks us to let our creativity flow. It is a time of playfulness and fun!
When reflecting someone else in your life, the Page of Cups may represent someone who is free and fun, with a childlike view of the world. But, this may manifest in immaturity, especially when it comes to romance and love!
The Page of Pentacles
The Suit of Pentacles reflects the material world. It governs work, finances, and prosperity. It is linked to the element earth.
The Page of Pentacles represents new energy in regard to career or money. It suggests a time of personal growth, with ideas and opportunities coming your way.
The Page of Pentacles reminds you to plan before you take your next step. You have a lot of big ideas, but you need to make sure you are able to achieve them! It is a time for focus and intent.
You are at the very start of an adventure. You must stay grounded and work hard, and everything will fall into place.
The Page of Swords
The Suit of Swords represents logic and decision-making. It is the suit of clarity and intellect, reminding us of using our heads when wanting to move forward in life. It is governed by the element of air.
As this suit is all about logic and thoughts, the Page of Swords represents new ideas and passion. This card is bustling with energy and potential, with sharp thinking and wit apparent.
The Page of Swords also represents fairness and truth. It may appear in a reading when you are in need to speak up and be heard.
The Page of Wands
The Suit of Wands represents passion, instinct, and creativity. It is linked to the element of fire, and I always see it as symbolizing the fire inside us. What drives us and what makes us tick!
The Page of Wands represents ambition and enthusiasm. It will typically appear when you are beginning your journey with a certain passion. A new adventure is coming your way, and you are excited to get going!
The Page of Wands is inspired and creative. Their mind is full of ideas and passion, and they just need to work out how to move forward with it.
