The picture
A young man stands in a flowering meadow, holding a pentacle up before him and studying it closely, with a ploughed field behind him.
The meaning
The Page of Pentacles looks at his pentacle as if he wanted to understand it. The tradition reads him as learning, conscientiousness and a first concrete plan. He stands for study, for curiosity about practical things and for patience in beginning. Readers also see in him news about work or training.
Reversed
Reversed, he is read as dawdling, or a plan that never gets past the start.
In love
In love he is read as a careful, sincere beginning.
At work
At work he stands for training, an apprenticeship, study and a new practical task.
As your card of the day

The Page of Pentacles stands for a plan. Write down today what the first step looks like in practice.
Pentacles belong to earth. The tradition reads them as work, the body, possessions and everything we build with our hands.
