Pulled The Page Of Wands In Your Latest Tarot Reading? Here's What It Means, From Experts

The Page of Wands is a card of new ideas and inspiration, as well as the beginning stages of a journey or action plan. As we can see on the card itself, the stick firmly in the hands of this young Page has a few buds, indicating that something is starting to bear fruit. He stands in front of a desert with mountains, symbolizing the element of fire and some sort of undertaking.

As tarot expert and astrologer Alysia LaPenna explains, this card is often associated with the sign of Sagittarius, and Pages in the tarot can represent a real person in your life. But other times, the cards speak to your own qualities, with the qualities of this card being an inspired and free-spirited young-at-heart energy.

"It's a very positive card. When the Page of Wands comes up, you're excited, you're energetic, you're adventurous. You're open to the possibilities of anything," LaPenna tells mindbodygreen, adding there's hope for the future with this card, and further, a vision for it.

The suit of wands in general, according to astrologer and tarot reader Bess Matassa, is connected to the element of fire, which relates to our passion and energy. Wand cards are related to creativity, purpose, and how we yield our individual force, Matassa previously told mindbodygreen, as well as "infusing higher meaning into a mundane experience."

If you pulled the Page of Wands upright in a reading about love or a particular relationship, LaPenna says you can consider it an auspicious sign. Whether it's a new relationship, or a new evolution of your current relationship, this Page brings an excitement and optimism in the case of love.

If you pulled the Page of Wands in reverse in a reading about love, LaPenna says it could indicate you're wasting some of your energy on an unfulfilling situation. Whether you're feeling disheartened or suspended in delay, the idea here is that you may need a new approach—or to let go of someone who can't meet your needs.

In a career reading, the Page of Wands indicates you're seeking new opportunities to explore your creativity, make money, or even find a new direction or career path. As LaPenna tells mindbodygreen, "You see opportunities around you, you see the options, and you're ready to go in a new direction—and wands are all about our creativity."

In reverse, the Page of Wands in a career or money matter relates to taking a step back and assessing your options before diving in. If you were excited about a new business opportunity, for example, LaPenna explains you might want to do some more research before getting too eager.

"You might also not have your usual excitement or creativity," she says, adding, "There could be a little bit of apathy there, but it's still a good time to do some reflection or think the details through."

If you asked your deck about a challenge you're currently facing or may face in the future, LaPenna tells mindbodygreen the challenge could be that you're facing a situation with a bit too much enthusiasm, or even immaturity. Pages are, after all, very childlike energy—but certain challenges require us to be more practical.
