General description
In the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, Pamela Coleman Smith depicts the Page of Pentacles as a youthful figure looking intently at the pentacle which hovers over his raised hands. He moves slowly, insensible of that which is about him. The Page, always more or less of a messenger, in this case of fiery nature.
Divinatory meaning
This card will indicate a proposal of marriage, courting, love-making, but in a gentle, sometimes a poetical or platonic way, not without ardor however. It has also to do with all sorts of honorable offices and denominations and may indicate any official person in the civil service and commerce, a stationer, bookseller or editor, bookkeeper or director, appointed by the owner or patron.
If reversed, the card can mean: Prodigality, dissipation, liberality, and luxury. Unfavorable news.
