Page of Wands (Reversed) | Tarot Card of the Day
“Patience when cultivating talents.”
When the Page of Wands appears in reverse, it can indicate that you are feeling stuck or lacking inspiration in your endeavors.
The Page of Wands is crackling with creativity. He is a fiery character whose mind can often be found thirty steps ahead of his present location. When this Page appears reversed, he reminds you to slow down and enjoy being present with what you are learning. He might also indicate that you need to take a more methodical approach to achieving your goals. Don't let your mind race and wander without discipline. You have tremendous talent and creative energy available to you to manifest whatever you want in life, but it needs to be applied thoughtfully.
Are you stuck in a cycle of comparing yourself to others?
Rather than comparing yourself to the abilities, talents, and achievements of others, focus on the force behind those talents. You admire certain qualities in others because you already possess them. You are on this planet to develop and strengthen these same attributes within yourself.
The Page of Wands is a Tarot card that represents the power of aspiration. Despite not having achieved the same level of mastery as his more experienced family members, the Knight, Queen, and King of Wands, he exudes the same magnetic qualities. This card suggests that you too possess the same inner strengths that you admire in those you look up to.
For instance, Judy Garland is a role model for many because of her fearless authenticity on stage. She overcame deep personal insecurity and a cruel tabloid press that sought to tear her down every day to sell magazines. Despite the fear of being judged, she took risks and performed until shortly before her death, using her music to heal herself and others. While you may never be a singer like Garland, you can still learn from her example by being vulnerable and fearless, trusting in your talents, and being your authentic self.
Today, recognize the qualities you admire most in your heroes, and know that you share this magic in common. You are kindred spirits, and by developing your own strengths, you too can inspire others. Remember that true greatness lies not in what you achieve but in who you become.
The Page of Wands Reversed also warns against the feeling of not quite “measuring up.”
Beware of comparing yourself with the achievements and accomplishments of others. You are on your own track and have a lifetime of lessons specifically meant for you. Comparing yourself to the paths others have tread is useless and futile. Look to qualities of those that you admire to fuel your passion, not to undermine it.
Keep aspiring toward your goals, but don't forget to be present and enjoy the moment. One day you'll look back with fondness at the process of how the talents unique to you were cultivated.
