Character

The Page of Pentacles is studious, ambitious, and grounded, always game to engage with opportunities that come their way. They aren't afraid to get their hands dirty—or their knees, or their elbows—and in fact they prefer it that way. They like to know a thing inside and out and especially underneath, in the unseen roots and foundations, because the Page knows that's where the real magic happens. The tallest tree won't last long with shallow roots, so the roots are the Page of Pentacles' business.

Imagery

In our card, the Page kneels in the dirt with the bulb from the Ace of Pentacles floating above their hands. They are learning to work with the bulb, with the fertile potential of what interests them. They are discovering the best season and soil, the right amounts of water and light. This is a process of learning and experimentation, and as any plant parent knows, there will be screwups. But with the knowledge and experience gained in the process, they'll eventually get it right.

Interpretation

In readings, the Page tells us to get our nose in the dirt. The work we're doing here is foundational in nature—learning, gathering, digging, prepping. If we've recently started something new, this card shows us in the beginning stages, figuring out how to work with it, learning how to tend to it. The Page tells us to work hard but to enjoy it, to be generative instead of close-minded. After all, beginnings are the most exciting part.
