Tarot: Voice of the Inner Light by Richard Palmer - HTML preview

THE PAGE OF PENTACLES

“The Rose of the Palace of Earth”

Taurus – Virgo - Capricorn

Earth of Earth

DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM

A young person walks alone in an open meadow filled with golden light while intently contemplating a shiny pentacle that seems to float atop the tips of her hands. She wears a distinctive red hat that has a scarf on it which flows down the side of her head and is casually draped over her right shoulder. Behind her in the distance and to the right is a grove of trees and to her left lies a newly plowed field which holds the promise of an ample harvest. The Page appears to be oblivious to the beauties of Nature that surround her, for all her attention is focused on her one shining Pentacle.

ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

Combining the deliberate, determined and steady qualities’ of Taurus with the orderly, practical and analytical qualities of Virgo  and the practical, disciplined and serious qualities of Capricorn will allow this Page to follow her Pentacle wherever it may lead and assure a life of ever increasing material accomplishments.

EARTH OF EARTH

As Earth of Earth, the Page embodies the finest qualities of this element within her. Her mind is incredibly fertile, practical and ambitious and within its ground will grow the qualities that lead to a sure path of material success in life.

ORACLES

When the Page of Pentacles appears in a reading she may indicate you, another person close to you, someone who may enter your life, an aspect of your own personality or an aspect of yourself that needs to be recognized, developed or asserted. She may also represent a situation that you may find yourself in.

When Appearing Upright in a Reading

The Page of Pentacles signifies someone who is generous and kind and who can bring good news regarding monetary concerns. Courage and perseverance are her finest qualities of character, and she possesses a deep love of scholarship and learning. She is also a gracious and diligent person who is open to new ideas. The Page is given to reflection but is capable of concentrated practical efforts especially when it comes to matters touching on her economic security. Her appearance often heralds the arrival of favorable news.

When Appearing Reversed in a Reading

Reversed, the Page represents an amoral individual who worships money and material things and is given to indolence and hedonism.

She is a selfish and wasteful person given to dissipation and excess who often brings pain, distress and disappointment into the lives of others. Unfavorable news often follows upon her appearance.  You would do well to avoid this person.

THE TREE OF LIFE

“The Kingdom”

Nature is the mirror in which Spirit views itself – it is both the throne of Spirit and its Bride.  Spirit attains its goal in Nature – it is the mirror in which the Divine Light is reflected.
