The Page of Wands is also known as the Princess of the Shining Flame and the Rose of the Palace of Fire and represents freedom from fear, new beginnings, travel and messages from afar. When this Page appears in a reading, there is a quickening of the pace of life and a feeling of excitement that something new is about to break through. When we let go of our fears, we leave room for joy and our natural spark to return and enliven us. There is passion, fire, enthusiasm, joy and trust in the world and in the future. Remember a time when you were truly fearless and recall how much energy and life you experienced - that is again possible for you now. When we understand that fear is a construct of the mind, it is something we invent to keep us safe in our secure little world, then we can also understand that we can make a new choice of focus. Is it scary? You might say yes, it certainly feels that way! But don't mistake fear for excitement and anticipation. It takes the same amount of energy to be scared as it does to be enthused and the thing that most people don't realise is that they get to choose. And the Page of Wands, being full of the new energy of Fire, arrives to tell you that transformation of limiting fear into liberating action is the key to mastering your life.

Here we have the Page of Wands, who is also referred to as the Princess of the Shining Flame and Rose of the Palace of Fire. This Page represents creative beginnings, optimism and a quickening in the pace of life. Intuitive guidance and original ideas accompany the appearance of this card and it is often the case that new people will also appear in your life as the creative aspects of this energy play out. Wands are about movement - being of the Element of Fire, there is no procrastination here. It is all about an urge for change, excitement and new possibilities. When the Page turns up in your life as a person (which is often the case) it is a young spirit that is urging you to brush the cobwebs away from your stagnant thinking and start to consider the benefits of using your insight and intuitive senses to light a fire under your projects and your plans. This is delightful to contemplate - often we cannot see for ourselves how to create change and revolution, but by observing those who have a natural ability and impulse towards enthusiasm and a refusal to be stifled by convention, we learn something of how to embrace change and progress in our own lives. On an abstract level, this Page brings news, change and movement in areas of career, travel and anywhere communication is important. Swift resolutions to matters that have perhaps been stalled are now possible, and the effect is usually surprising and welcome. It is time for a change, for you to embrace your creativity and stop playing it safe....

The Page of Swords is also known as the Princess of the Rushing Winds and Lotus of the Palace of Air and represents clarity from confusion, news and ideas. This Page is rebellious, impatient and eager to cut through anything that gets in the way of progress and excitement. He is also clever and witty. He represents freedom of thought, especially those that break free from stale and obsolete beliefs and ways of thinking. If he is impeded or not given intellectual free reign, whether by authority, superiors or his own beliefs, he can become spiteful and petty. The key to moving out of this is to embrace change and fearlessness. If referring to a child or young person, this Page is changeable, engaging and knows how to charm with words. He enjoys movement and sports, but he excels in games of cleverness and wit. Whenever this Page turns up in a reading, he brings news - letters, phone calls, emails and verbal news that brings changes to your life. On a deeper level, he heralds changes of beliefs, mental processes and new learnings. There is much to be learned through communication and conversations - both deep and superficial. There is a rebelliousness of ideas and a desire to overthrow the old order with something new and fresh. The Page is an immature energy, so often this energy will misfire until it finds its feet and becomes more directed so it is advised to take your ideas and give them the benefit of time and maturity to get the most traction and benefit from them. There is a need...
