In the picture
A young man in a tunic patterned with salamanders stands in a desert, holding a tall wand and looking at it with curiosity.
Upright meaning
The Page of Wands is eager to explore. The card often brings exciting news, a new interest, or a burst of youthful enthusiasm. It favours trying something new and following your curiosity.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, enthusiasm runs ahead of follow-through. Ideas start and stall, or impatience leads to mistakes. Pick one thing and see it through before chasing the next.
About the suit of Wands
Wands are the suit of fire: energy, ambition, creativity and action. Wands cards often come up around new projects, work you care about and the drive to make things happen. The four court cards of each suit (Page, Knight, Queen and King) can stand for people in your life, or for ways of handling a situation: the curious beginner, the person of action, the one who understands it from the inside, and the one in charge.
