PAGE of PENTACLES

This is the Spiral deck, which is full of beautiful imagery, including quite a few Celtic references. In this deck, as in many modern decks, the Page is known as the Princess. Similarly, the Knight is known as the Prince.

This card is all about taking a realistic approach to life and making the best of what you have available. You need to stop day-dreaming about what might have been or what could be and concentrate on what IS. If there is something you want, you need to go out and get it, rather than waiting for it to come to you.

In terms of relationships, the Page of Pentacles tells you to take others at face-value and not look for hidden meanings which probably aren't there. You should be open and honest with people at this time, it is important that you appear dependable and willing to stick to your commitments as this is a time when establishing credibility may be relevant in some way.

This is certainly relevant in career or busines matters, as the Page of Pentacles often indicates a time when opportunities will arise to move forward in some sort of enterprise, which will eventually lead to increased material prosperity and security, accompanied by a considerable increase in social status. Showing that you can be relied upon to 'deliver the goods' is likely to be very important in this regard.

The Page of Pentacles can also indicate an improvement in finances or material wealth, although not usually anything dramatic. More often it is news of small increase, such as a slight rise in salary, sometimes coupled with a promotion, or perhaps a small win in a game of chance or some sort of competition.

For querents with young children, this card could be gently reminding them that their children rely on them to provide for their physical needs and their safety. It may be that a particular child is in need of stability at this time and needs to know that they can trust their parent no matter what.

I can't see a great deal that applies to me here. There certainly wasn't any kind of change in my finances - pity, I would have appreciated that one!

The only relevant angle I can see is the one regarding reliability and credibility. Maybe this card is telling me I need to make sure I keep-up with this diary in order to show that I can be relied upon to provide the service I am offering.

I knew that anyway of course, but it doesn't do any harm to be reminded, especially when you're as forgetful as I am. Maybe this card will pop-up again sometime, just to keep me on my toes!
