When determining the Page of Wands tarot card meaning, you should consider that it’s a Wands card and a Page. The Suit of Wands represents energy and inspiration. Pages represent being young at heart and having a desire to learn.

In this way, we can determine that the Page of Wands represents being inspired to learn something new. You don’t have to go it alone, in fact, it’s encouraged to seek out a mentor to provide feedback and boost your confidence in learning.

Take a look at the Rider-Waite Page of Wands displayed to the left (or above).

What is your first impression?

Why is the Page staring at the Wand like that? What does he want or expect to happen?

There’s no right or wrong answer here, just your interpretation.

Common Symbols

• The Pose: it’s common to see the Page staring lovingly (and intensely) at a wand. This represents so many things: passion mixed with inexperience, the awkwardness of youth, and yearning.

Interpreting the Page of Wands

Generally, the Page of Wands represents being inspired to learn something new. Leap towards new opportunities. Be an advocate for whatever you believe in. Be independent and trust in yourself and your own abilities.

Ask for feedback so that you can continue to grow and learn. Be careful though, often the Page represents a tendency to dive right in with too much eagerness so you miss the subtle details.

The Reversed PAge of Wands

How you read reversals is a personal choice. You can ignore reversals and read them as if the card is upright (this is what I often choose to do) or you can interpret reversals as variations of what they would mean upright. There are 3 common ways to read reversals: as a negative interpretation, as an opposite interpretation, or as a block on the upright interpretation. Check out How to Read Reversals for more information.

Typically, a reversed Page of Wands represents hindering yourself. You’re so wrapped up in something that it’s negatively impacting your ability to learn. Examples include:

• Caring what others think too much
• Trying every opportunity that comes your way (you just can’t do it all)
• Ignoring feedback from others
• Trying too hard to “do it yourself” so you achieve little to nothing
