The Page of Pentacles as How Someone Sees You: Sensible, Promising and Still Learning

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Page of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see you studying the coin. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, the Page of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see you as sensible, hardworking, reliable and promising: the one who does things properly, who is building toward something, who they expect to do well. It is an approving picture. It is also a picture of someone still becoming, and that can be encouragement or a quiet failure to see that you have already arrived.

This is you as the Page holding the coin up to the light. They see the diligence. They may think you are still at the beginning.

The Page of Pentacles upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Page of Pentacles guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with ambition, new opportunity, study and practical foundations. When the card lands in a position that asks how someone sees you, I read those meanings as the image the person holds of you, which is not the same as who you are and not the same as what they feel. the Page of Pentacles as feelings covers what they feel; the Page of Pentacles as intentions covers what they plan. This page covers the picture. The Minor Arcana overview at Biddy Tarot is a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Page of Pentacles as a person who sees you as grounded and capable: practical, studious, trustworthy with money and plans, someone with a future. They respect your seriousness. They may also see you as younger or less finished than you are, and in the upright card the seeing is fond.

What I would not read into it is excitement in the picture. The Page of Pentacles is seen as solid and sensible. If you wanted to be seen as thrilling, this card is telling you the person sees the field and not the fire.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm the person sees you as an equal, that the respect is romantic rather than approving, or that they find you interesting as well as reliable. No card lets a reader see inside another person's head. What a card can do is describe the kind of image that fits the person's behaviour toward you, and give you something to check against how they actually treat you.

The Page of Pentacles reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Page of Pentacles as how someone sees you means the picture has gone from promising to stuck: they see you as dull, overcautious, procrastinating, someone who studies the coin and never plants it. The seriousness they respected has started to look like inertia to them.

In your own question, ask whether the person has lately seemed impatient with your caution, or whether they have said anything about you being boring or slow. A reversed card here is a prompt to notice whether the picture the person holds has gone sour or gone wrong, not a verdict on you.

The Page of Pentacles as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Page of Pentacles suggests they remember you as sensible, reliable and perhaps unexciting, the one who was good on paper. It is a respectful picture and a flat one. Some exes come to value it later, once they have tried the alternative. My guide to asking a psychic whether an ex will come back explains what a reading can and cannot say about that question.

The Page of Pentacles as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they see you as solid and promising and are taking you seriously in a quiet way. Let them see something that surprises them, or the picture stays a field.

How to check the picture against reality

Look at whether the person asks about your plans with interest or with indulgence. Look at whether they treat your judgment as finished or as developing. A Page of Pentacles picture is approving and can be patronising; the way to change it is to show them something you have already built.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, what the person seems to respect in you, and whether they have seen anything you have completed rather than started. The third note is where the Page becomes a Knight in their eyes.

For comparison, the Page of Swords as how someone sees you and the Knight of Pentacles as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Page of Pentacles card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Page of Pentacles as a person covers the card when it describes a temperament rather than an image. For a personal interpretation, my guide to a love psychic reading online explains how I work, and the three-card tarot listing and customer reviews are worth reading before deciding whether to order.
