The Page of Pentacles is the card that represents manifestation, an opportunity to develop a skill, or a financial opportunity that is too good to pass up. 

If you are considering starting a new business or venture, this card will show up. 

This card represents you if you are brand new to the business world, but your enthusiasm and commitment, as well as devotion, are what is making you eager to start. 

It can also represent a novice to business and handling money.

And you know that you must also learn some new skills to run a business. 

First, however, remember that this card represents the earliest phase of business planning. It is not the action or planning phase, which would be the next card, the Knight of Pentacles. 

The Page of Pentacles can also represent a pregnancy quite early on, but many tarot readers don’t read for health and pregnancy-related issues which is why they rarely refer to this card. 

Let's first go over the history and appearance of the Page of Pentacles.

History And Appearance of the Page of Pentacles

The history and origins of the Page of Pentacles are relatively unknown. 

However, some believe the card originated in Italy during the Renaissance period. 

It is believed that the Page of Pentacles was created to symbolize the importance of having a good education and being financially successful. 

When you look at the Page of Pentacles card in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, you will see a young man. He is standing in the middle of a grassy area, and there are flowers as well. 

And you see some trees in the background and a cultivated area representing the potential to grow some crops. 

A mountainous area indicates there will be challenges and obstacles the Page will inevitably face once he is on his journey. 

However, he has a coin that he is looking at carefully as he wants to know how he can manifest even more abundance. 

Now, let’s go over what the Page of Pentacles means in a reading.

What The Page of Pentacles Means In A Reading

In a reading, the Page of Pentacles suggests that you are in a period of learning and growth. You gain new skills and knowledge and put them into practice. 

You may be taking on new responsibilities or pursuing new opportunities. 

The Page of Pentacles encourages you to focus on your goals and to be patient and persistent in your efforts. 

This is a time of progress and accomplishment, but it is also a time to stay grounded and realistic in your expectations. 

The Page of Pentacles reminds you to enjoy the journey and appreciate all you are learning along the way.

The card can also depict a novice, who may be a child or someone child-like that loves money, but they do not know about saving it like most children. 

When you hand money to someone who has no idea how to handle it, you know it won’t last. 

You can think of a wealthy child that has been handed many frivolous goods. 

They think that money grows on trees and will want all the toys in the world.

Alternatively, you give the child money, and they immediately spend it because they don’t know what to do otherwise unless they are taught. 

When you bring money to a Page, the idea of that money, which is a new concept, excites them. 

However, they have no idea how to handle it. 

This can mean that if you are suddenly successful in a business venture and are making a lot of money out of nowhere, you could start spending it like water on marketing campaigns you don’t need. 

The next thing you know, you will end up at a loss. Therefore, that is childish behavior when it comes to finances.

However, the Page of Pentacles will show an interest in money and in making money by learning new skills, as this card is associated with the element of earth.

What about the Page of Pentacles reversed?

Page of Pentacles Reversed

When The Page of Pentacles is in reverse, it is a sign that you are not ready to start a new venture. 

This could show through procrastination and no progress made after initiation. 

It can also mean there was a failure, but you are learning from it. 

Also, when this card is in reverse, the Page would expect money to keep coming without interest in learning how to make their own money.  

Think of that spoiled child that wants more, more, and more.

Now, how can the Page of Pentacles help you in your life?

How The Page of Pentacles Can Help You

Applying the Page of Pentacles to your life is similar to the Four of Pentacles. 

It is all about creating a budget and taking a closer look at what you spend each month. 

Are there expenses that you don't need? Then snip those away. 

Cancel subscriptions that don't add value to you. Use that money to save or to go towards something else each month. 

You will also want to ensure you have enough money monthly to save. 

However, if you are considering starting a side hustle or a home-based business, this card can help you. 

Use it as inspiration to learn the ins and outs of business if you are not experienced in it. 

Remember that the Page is a novice, and so are you!

The next card I will go over is the Knight of Pentacles, the slowest-moving Knight.
