Welcome to part 12 of my 16 part series Meet the Court Cards – each week we will hang out with ONE court card and dive deeply into the symbols, personality traits, talents and dark side. This is similar to my Major Arcana Meanings Deep Dive series, but we’ll also explore how each court card acts in the context of love, work and money.

I’ll give you specific ways to embody this card as well as some journalling questions to help you connect with this card on a more personal level.

Let’s dive into the Page of Wands – he’s energetic, inspired and learning how to cultivate and focus his energy and discover his life’s work.

Sit back, relax and discover the personality, meanings and secret symbols of this Page…

Element = Fire (passion, energy, action, transformation)

Keywords/Personality Traits

Curious, learning, energetic, excited, inspired, passionate, enthusiastic, wants to DO (action oriented), transformation obsessed, focused on “life purpose”

Symbols:

pyramids = energy directors

red feather in his cap = achievement

staff = magic wand, energy direction tool

green leaves (on staff) = growth, newness

desert + goofy boots = he’s at Burning Man! He’s a real festival-goer!

Talents:

The Page of Wands can get really excited about his passions and interests and once he figures out how to best use his energy, he’s a powerhouse!

He thinks outside the box and isn’t afraid of a challenge or an adventure. He doesn’t really know what a “comfort zone” is and he can transform things just by putting his attention on them.

The Page of Wand’s Mission:

His divine mission is to find his life’s purpose! Discovering and then living his life’s purpose is how he connects with spirit and it’s finding the right line of work or being able to channel his creativity into meaningful projects that brings him closer to God.

His task is to learn how to build, focus and best use his energy to transform things. Once he finds his abilities, talents and yearnings and weaves it into a career, he’s able to truly offer his unique brilliance to his community.

But he won’t find his path by sitting around! He must get out there, take action and DO stuff to find his way…

At a Party…

The party doesn’t really start until the Page of Wands arrives! He can transform the energy of a gathering just by showing up – he’s fun, bright, chatty and entertaining and knows how to make people laugh. He can turn a dull, boring get together into a lively giggle-fest in an instant!

In work…

As long as he feels challenged or if is given something to transform, he’s all in, but if he’s in a boring, low skill job he flounders and turns sour. His go-getter attitude only exists if there’s actually something to get, otherwise his most irritating characteristics begin to emerge.

Since he’s a bit of a Renaissance man, he needs to have a few things on the go. A job that allows him to flit around from one thing to another is ideal. He has so much energy and many different talents and interests so being forced to do just one, narrow task all day long will be suffocating for him.

In love…

The Page of Wands is a fun and exciting guy to date, but he’s young and not really ready for anything serious just yet. He’s more interested in things like travel, career, adventures and having a good time than he is in relationships.

If he can find someone who is in the same place as him, it can work out, but he’s not ready to marry or settle down or commit in any real way just yet.

In Money…

For a Page, he’s not bad with money. He prefers spending money on experiences rather than things and doesn’t really care about things like status all that much. Ironically, this urge to follow his passions can often lead to wealth and status, but that’s never really his goal.

Since he’s learning how to manage his energy (and money IS energy), he’s bound to make some money mistakes here and there, but isn’t a hot mess like some of the other Pages.

He Thrives on…

Travel, exploring new places and experiences all help him learn about himself and nudge him closer to discovering his life’s purpose.

As a renaissance man, the Page of Wands loves channelling his energy into multiple projects and hobbies. He loves being challenged, going on adventures and having to figure things out by trial and error.

He can’t stand…

Not having a “purpose” or being in a work situation where he can’t use his creativity or special talents. He absolutely needs to feel like things have a purpose or he will become disillusioned.

If he’s stuck in a relationship or job that has no room for growth, he’ll either jump ship or become miserable. He’s a dynamic character and he won’t stand for being tied down to just one thing!

His worst nightmare is a boring, predictable life where everything is laid out and planned with nothing new to be discovered.

Dark Side…

If he can’t transform things, he will destroy things! He has a lot of energy and it needs to flow – if that flow is blocked or stunted, he can become a real problem. Think vandalism and mischief.

If he mismanages his energy by taking on too many projects at once or directing his energy into the wrong things, he can get burnt out and is prone to throwing childish tantrums.

What does it MEAN?

When the Page of Wands appears in your Tarot reading, it can indicate that your career and “life’s work” is important right now – take your time figuring things out and learning about yourself. You won’t find your path if you don’t know yourself, so start there.

You may also need to learn how to build, maintain and direct your energy in a way that enhances your life. So what drains your energy? What feeds it? How can you put it into the things that matter to you?

This Page tells you that you won’t figure anything out just by sitting around – so get out and DO something! Take ACTION and ideas, clarity and confidence will flow to you.

Page of Wands Reversed

You might be struggling to find your life’s purpose or a sense of direction. Perhaps you’ve been mismanaging your energy and allowing it to drain away or channelling it into unimportant tasks. You may also be feeling frozen in place, unable to move forward or take any kind of action.

Keep reading to find out how to move through this phase…

Embody it…

-Take some time to explore yourself (what lights you up? What excites and energizes you? What are you curious about? What do you want to pour your energy into?) as this will give you clarity on your path.

–Explore your own energy (how you use it, what builds it up, what drains it) – mastering your own energy is the key to success!

–Learn my doing (don’t just stand there…bust a move!) – put down the books and get outside. It’s through experience and interactions that you will become inspired, get ideas and grow.

3 Signs You’re a BAD Friend (to your Tarot deck)!

2 Comments / Tarot Tips / /

A couple weeks ago I met up with an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while (fingers crossed she doesn’t read my blog!)

She was having some sort of crises and needed to vent.

As we sipped our lattes and I stuffed my face with Snickerdoodle cookies, she droned on incessantly about her life, her problems, her work schedule, her children, her children’s schedules.

At some point I just kind of tuned out, as one does.

After an hour straight of her talking about herself and me pretending to listen, she finally asked “So, how are your…..cats?”

Then, as I began to answer, her gaze drifted around the coffee shop, utterly disinterested in what I had to say.

Can you believe it? I had cat stories and she was bored and distracted!!!

When we said our goodbyes, we hugged and promised to get together again soon. But I know I won’t hear from her for at least six months, when she needs a favour or has some kind of problem.

Do you have friends like this? I think we all have at least one.

But what I really want to know is…..are you this kind of friend to your Tarot deck?

When you sit down to do a Tarot reading, do you take the time to connect with your deck and see what kind of mood it’s in?

Or do you immediately start peppering it with questions about your life?

How you treat your cards will affect how they show up for you when you need their advice.

When I was first learning Tarot, I bought the Robin Wood Tarot deck and used it every day for two years straight. Then I got a new, shiny deck and tossed my beloved Robin Wood aside and ignored it completely as it languished in my desk drawer.

When I brought it back out a year later, my readings with it felt….cold and disconnected. It was like it was giving me the cold shoulder, remaining closed off and tight lipped. It’s feelings were hurt.

So the next time you reach for your Tarot deck, make sure you’re not making these 3 very common mistakes…

3 signs you’re a bad friend to your Tarot deck:

1) You only pick up your deck when you have a problem and need help

2) You only ever talk about yourself and never ask it questions about itself

3) You read when you’re distracted (while watching TV or scrolling your phone) and don’t really take the time to sit with your cards and hear what they’re trying to tell you

If you’ve made the mistakes above, don’t feel bad. I’ve made them all a million times! But know that when you stop doing those 3 things and start treating your deck very differently, you’re readings will transform into something unbelievably magical!

3 ways to nourish your relationship with your Tarot deck:

1) Don’t just reach for your cards when you have a problem. Make sure you also read about light topics – your Tarot deck loves to help inspire you creatively and spiritually!

Ask it fun questions like:

♥ How can I nurture my creative side this week?

♥ How can I be more playful this month?

♥ What part of my soul longs to express itself more?

2) Don’t just focus on yourself – interview your deck and ask it some personal questions, like:

♥ How are you feeling today?

♥ What card best sums up your personality?

♥ What qualities do you look for in a Tarot reader?

3) Treat your Tarot reading time as sacred time – turn off distractions, set the mood and take your time.

It’s fine to do quickie readings at the kitchen table while the radio blares, but try to create a sacred container and eliminate distractions as much as you can.

Sometimes I’ll pull a few cards for myself as I’m watching one of my murder shows in the background and let me tell you – those readings are never very helpful. But when I put on some Enya, light a couple candles and pour a cup of tea, those readings are positively delicious!

If the cards don’t make sense right away, don’t give up. Sit for a moment and let yourself explore.

When you take your time with a reading, you can go deep and the messages you receive will be so much more powerful.

When you treat your deck right, it will open up to you. When you take the time to nurture your relationship, your readings will feel deep, connected and amazingly helpful.

May all your Tarot readings be full of discovery, inspiration and joy ♥
xoxo
Kate
