The Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles is one of the few cards that experts say is meant to apply to a specific age group. The card depicts a young man and is thus supposed to apply to the young alone. While it can be seen in spreads used for adults, this card is generally not regarded with much meaning unless they are at a major transitory period in their life, or students. This is because the card mostly applies to young students who are just on the verge of going from taking their studies, to actually going out in the world and using these studies in their future jobs.

The card implies a state of transition but gives no clear advice on how that situation will turn out; just that it is coming up soon. One of the hardest things for students in relationships is dealing with what will happen after college. College provides a context for the two of them to spend time together within a specific environment, but once college is over, it is up to the lovers to decide how they want to chart their journey through unfamiliar territory. If this card is found under the romance section of your spread, what it means is that soon you will be dealing with these post-college questions yourself in regards to your relationship. Will you stay together, break up? Will one of you be willing to move for the other one, or prepare to spend the rest of your lives together? Only one person can truly know.

If you get this card under the money area of your spread then what this means is that you need to really consider how to budget things once you get out of school. Did you take on loans while you were there? Do you have a plan for a job after you graduate? How are you going to use what you learned in college to sustain you for the rest of your life? These are all very important questions that you may not be able to answer immediately. But you will need to have an answer for them in the future or else you will not know what to do. Think about your money options, because these things matter.

Another part of adulthood is taking care of yourself. Once you leave school it will be hard to transition into a new lifestyle. Especially if the work that you go into afterwards is physically strenuous, you will be dealing with a lot of physical problems and aches and pains that weren't there before. You aren't an old man yet, but this is where a hard partying lifestyle will begin to catch up with you especially if you used drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes while you were in school. You must deal with this transitory phase as all else did and have to do when they grow up.

Finally the most important thing has to do with your future career. This is what you will need to consider if the page of pentacles card makes its debut on the career section of your spread. The reason that people go to college is to get career training, and if you do not have a good idea of what you want to do with the rest of your life, you will need to get an idea soon. This is the whole reason you got schooling in the first place. You should have taken time in college to decide what you really want to do with your life. This is an important decision to make, and you should take a lot of time and consideration in doing this, because it is something you will have to face soon enough if the card is correct.
