The Pages often bring news of some sort - with the Page of Cups it is news of an emotional nature, and happy, welcome news. Often it is news of an impending birth, marriage or reconciliation.

The Page can also refer to a child who is or will become important to you. This is a sensitive soul who is artistic, gentle and kind. This child needs understanding more than anything and is particularly sensitive to injustice and harsh words.  This child is here to teach you to listen to your heart and that kindness to yourself and others is one of the highest virtues.

There is an acceleration in the intuition, and a vivid and fascinating dream life that will teach you more about what is important to you as an individual. Listen to the messages that come to you and look at the signs that appear, as these are a language that can speak to you if you are prepared to take notice.

This Page heralds the birth of something new on the emotional level, your feelings may take you by surprise and you learn that your capacity to extend and receive love are beyond what you had hoped to believe.

There was a time in your past where you felt misunderstood, mistreated and hurt by others' disregard of your feelings, and the time has come for you to overcome that hurt and realise your worth and embrace your feelings.

Seek out the company of people who are gentle and not abrasive, and this will help you to heal your heart and leave behind those who seem to want to argue just for the sake of it.

"You are the poem I dreamed of writing
The Masterpiece I longed to paint
You are the shining star I reached for
In my ever hopeful quest for life fulfilled
You are my child
Now with all things I am blessed" - Unknown
