Radiant Edition: Rider-Waite-Smith-Page of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite Page of Pentacles is the comparable card to the Thoth Princess of Disks (not shown). Since Waite held to his lodge oath not to "profane" the Ancient Mysteries by offering the western mysteries to the public, he chooses the effeminate medieval Page image for his card. This is a card of androgynous characters and does not depict gender. Rather, it shows nothing of great occult import. His figure holds a Pentacle up, with intent gaze, while standing on fertile land. I suppose this depicts the Earth element (Pentacle) fertile in the Sun, as if it is Spring in full bloom. The page is dressed in the greens and browns of the earth element. The divination meaning of this card is: Application, study scholarship, reflection, and bringer of messages.
The Prophet Tarot- Page of Pentacles
The Prophet Tarot Page of Pentacles depicts a true loner. The whole card is the silver and black motif. The Page of Pentacles is a very isolated, and introspective young person who is steady, ambitious, and thorough, quite competent at her work. Although she is self-controlled, tactful, and reserved, she can be very selfish in attaining her own goals. In a position of authority, she can quickly alienate her subordinates with harsh demands and by showing little interest in ideas or feelings. Therefore, she knows she is not well liked, but fails to blame herself for this. This Princess personality tends to judge everything in polar terms, has little tolerance for ambiguity, and wants situations clearly defined. She may show interest in sporting events but finds the arts to be boring. She spends long hours in her work, which allows her to avoid the social life of personal interaction. Hence, she has few friends and is often depressed and lonely but hides her vulnerabilities well. Because she is afraid of closeness, most people perceive her to be unaffectionate and unfeeling.; However, the Page of Pentacles personality is truly focused on her goals and her drive and determination seems to exclude others.
In Qabalistic Tarot of Thoth, the significator of a person is a sun sign. Since this is Qabalistic, it shows the traditional Page as a Princess. Hence, the Tarot Birth wheel is used to assign a Court Card personality to a person. This is a "core personality" that is assigned to a querent when reading a "Celtic Cross" Tarot card divination. Many of us have assorted qualities of all sixteen personality patterns (Court Cards); However, the core personality is the "beginning" persona that represents the Soul, at this manifestation in time. On this wheel, the Princess of Disks represents the Page of Pentacles. This card can also represent a youth in one's life, leaving or entering.
The Page/Princess of Pentacles can be compared to Nimue, the nemesis and consort of Merlin of the Arthurian legends. A deity of the Druids from whom Merlin was purported to learn magic and/or the Greek Goddess of Spring, Persephone. This is the Lady of Rebirth and Renewal and to understand the Depth of the Ultimate Womb---is to meditate long and hard on this card, and to read the Goddess Myths with the eye (I) of the soul. In this world, where love is a profit-sharing endeavor, it is hard for most of us to believe that "Love built Me to be Itself"----Love is I AM Now and fears no future. The goddess is Love and the truth is, " Creation is Love" and we are the image of Love made manifest by the Womb/Understanding of the Goddess aspect of the Divine Creative! We are "Understood" into manifestation!
When the Page/Princess of Pentacles card shows up in a reading.
- It is best said that rebirth is apparent from past defeat, or that a new love is blooming in the querent's life.
- One is experiencing issues with motherhood and pregnancy.
- The brink of transformation of complete success and total balance.
- One is taking security risks and challenging what was once deemed safe in the past.
- Pure Elemental Earth Energy, where the personality may be seeking its true name through prayer, meditation and fasting.
- Steadfast worker, who seems unaffectionate and unfeeling.
When reversed or ill defined by the surrounding cards:
- Prodigality.
- Dissipation.
- Liberality.
- Luxury.
- Unfavorable news.
