In a Reversed Position:
The reversed Page of Wands, as opposed to the upright one, means a young man with a lack of experience, unstable emotions, who often behaves like a child.
The Tarot Page of Wands in a reversed position means a despotic character, narrow-mindedness, ambition. These qualities can confuse any young man who has such a card in the spread. In addition, the reversed Page of Wands promises bad news for the querent or a belated better time.
The Page of Wands in a reversed position symbolizes a person from the business environment of the querent who is capable of harming him, willingly or unwillingly: his colleague, friend, etc. This could be a competitor wanting to take your place, a flatterer, an envious person, or just someone who happened to bring you bad news.
In addition, in the spread, the Page of Wands can mean a person from the personal environment of the querent: a young girl or boy (relative, friend, loved one), with whom negative events will be associated. This person can play the role of a dangerous rival, an envious person or an intriguer hiding under an outwardly friendly mask in your life.
Perhaps the person is prone to exaggeration, likes to brag. He thinks shallowly, but his nature is very passionate and enthusiastic. It can also be said here that the person exhibits inertia. He needs a push, movement from the outside world, and at the same time to remember about common sense. Don’t get involved in an adventure that might hurt you.
The reversed Page of Wands means an undeveloped character and a feeling of deprivation, a weak position, amateurism and incompetence. The person is unstable and difficult to rely on. Poor self-control, as well as psychological unwillingness to accept the situation.
Being mannered and superficial, he is unable to achieve the desired results. This is most likely due to the initially incorrect first step. This behavior leads to missed opportunities and all sorts of minor losses. Indecision and inconstancy will not allow the plans to be realized, or they will be far from the desired result.
Also, a reversed Tarot card speaks of impatience, haste, a propensity for adventures, gambling. Perhaps this is due to youth, lack of life experience. But in any case, this person has huge demands. There is more than enough ambition.
The meaning of a reversed Tarot card Page of Wands predicts a number of circumstances that interfere with the achievement of goals.

It is unlikely that success can be achieved in this activity.
The reversed Page of Wands indicates impatience, and sometimes a craving for adventure and risk. In a certain spread it can be perceived as amateurishness or lack of experience, coupled with excessive ambition. In terms of events, this Arcana speaks of curious situations, late received news, a tendency to inertia.
If the Page of Wands is a person, then he is hungry for what you have or want to receive, and therefore not trustworthy. A dangerous opponent. Bad news. Instability and indecision. Flattery that can disarm you. Or a bad situation, bad news, or upsetting events.

Self-Development Lesson
Pay attention to the messenger. Concentrate on new initiatives and remain open to help from others. Remember to take your own responsibility for personal relationships.
Type of person in an upright position:
The card usually indicates a male (sometimes female) child or adolescent. The hair is naturally red, copper-colored or light brown. The eyes are blue, green or light brown. The skin is light, sometimes with freckles, quickly burns in the sun.
If we are talking about an adult, this is a person who grew up in a family with the correct moral guidelines. He comes from a simple, “worker-peasant” family. By nature, the person is ardent, open, cheerful. Easily fires up with ideas, but if he does not immediately start implementing them, he quickly cools down to them.
The Page of Wands is honest, a good performer, but not diligent. By virtue of natural honesty, he can strain and fulfill the assignment, as soon as he has promised. But do not leave the matter to his discretion. He’s not a go-getter. The Page of Wands prefers to receive a clear task rather than sculpting clouds out of thin air. He needs clear instructions.
For the questioner, the Page of Wands, like any other Page in the Tarot, in the spreads can mean a younger relative: a brother or sister, nephew, grandson or the questioner’s own child.
Type of person in a reversed position:
A child from a dysfunctional family. Juvenile delinquent, vagabond, social orphan. If we are talking about an adult, this is a person who is out of work. He loves to chat about the injustice of the universe, but he will hardly make an effort to radically change something in his life. Overall, he is content with everything.
Arcana’s warning
Before you act, take a sober assessment of your knowledge and experience. Perhaps, for some projects, self-confidence alone may not be enough.
Final Advice of Arcana
Feel free to use the opportunities you meet, do not be afraid to try something new and always believe in yourself.
In an Upright Position:
Respond quickly to changes and don’t miss out on good chances. If you get an offer for a job – actept it, otherwise you will miss the opportunity for career growth. A blind date is approaching – do not hesitate, the acquaintance will be promising.
In a Reversed Position:
If you missed a chance, it doesn’t matter, there will be a new one. Learn from mistakes.
Conclusion
The Page of Wands is a Tarot card that makes it possible to think about how strong your moral principles are, whether you can be an honest and worthy person whom people can believe, and also whether you are an adult enough person to make informed decisions.
