Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles is a card of financial and educational opportunity. When this card appears in your reading, it foreshadows news of a course to improve your skills or a job offer coming your way.

This Page represents a person who may not currently have a lot of resources, but they do have ingenuity and the potential to make a considerable amount of money through self-improvement and putting their talents to use.


The Page of Pentacles is also a card of financial inspiration. In the Rider Waite deck a young child is displayed holding the pentacle and wearing an expression of marvel and wonderment. This imagery can be interpreted as the opportunity presented, although not immediately profitable, has the potential to lead to bigger and better things. It is the seed of potential, ambition, and the spark of creation. The caveat that comes with this card is that yes, opportunity is there, but you will have to put the work in. This card can also represent a gift coming your way or a person who offers you a chance to learn and earn money.

In a love reading, this Page is not generally positive. It can mean that your love interest, although dedicated, is still in the process of improving themselves, is not financially stable and is not ready for a solid commitment. Whether or not the two of you stay the course and move onto more fruitful times is something yet to be seen.

The Page of Pentacles can also represent a love interest who is not responsible with money and who is in debt or is a spendthrift. It can represent an individual with a lot of bright ideas but who lacks the grit to follow through. Worse still, it can often show in a reading where a suitor has purely physical concerns on their mind and may only want a non-committed relationship. In terms of feelings, the Page of Pentacles does not necessarily indicate deep or meaningful attachment to a person.

In a work or business reading, the Page of Pentacles is generally more positive. It shows that you will be presented with the opportunity to learn a new skill, improve your education, find a person interested in investing in you, or that you will stumble upon a bright idea on how to make money. If this card is negatively aspected, it can show that your plans, although grand, may not receive the financial backing that you need at this time.
