The Page of Pentacles as a redirection asks us to stop and take a look back at the material world foundations we have built for ourselves and to assess whether they still serve us based on any new goals or objectives.

Take a look at your motivations behind your goals as they may not be aligned with the goal itself

Look at the ways you are underachieving and rethink what it is you want to accomplish
Take a look at your situation from a different and more common sense focused perspective

Pentacles

The Pentacles are the guides of our material world. This means that they show us areas such as our physical health, money, career, home life and relationships. Pentacles act as a tour guide of all of these areas so we can get a much more subjective view on the things that are often too close for us to see.

Taking a Pentacles viewpoint, like we tend to do when faced with a Pentacles court card, means seeing the hard truth of a situation. There are no bells and whistles with Pentacles, what you see is what you get. They don’t pander to our flights of fancy, they deliver cold hard facts.

Earth + Earth

All four elements – air, fire, water and earth – correspond with the four Tarot suits. For the Pentacles, this element is earth. All Pentacles cards have earth energy, helping to ground them in the present and in the facts of a matter.

The court cards also have their own elemental energies. For the Pages, this energy is again the elemental energy of earth. The Page’s earth energy acts as his secondary energy with the Pentacles elemental energy of earth being the primary element. This gives this card a dual energy of earth, making it an extremely grounded, practical and seedling like quality.

Pages

It is a type of energy that really makes sure to memorise every morsal of information in order to be able to master his skills.
