The Page of Wands as Intentions: To Have Fun With You and See What Happens

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Page of Wands as intentions is a plan for a good time that has not been planned. Here is what I would read in it, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, I would read the Page of Wands as intentions that are playful, exploratory and short-range. In an intentions position the card suggests the person means to enjoy you, to flirt, to see where it goes, and has not thought much about where that is. The intention is sincere and light. It is not a plan for anything that lasts, because the Page does not plan that far.

This is the Page admiring the new leaves on the staff. They intend to see what grows. They have not thought about the desert.

The Page of Wands upright as intentions

Tina Gong's the Page of Wands guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with enthusiasm, exploration, a free spirit and a new message. When the card lands in a position that asks what someone intends toward you, I read those meanings as the shape of their plan rather than as a promise about what they will do. Feelings and intentions are different questions; the Page of Wands as feelings covers the first, and this page covers the second. The Minor Arcana overview at Biddy Tarot is a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Page of Wands as a person whose intention toward you is to have an adventure: to message, to meet, to try, to find out if this is as fun as it looks. They mean it, in the way a Page means anything, which is wholeheartedly and briefly.

What I would not read into it is commitment or even a next week. The Page of Wands intends the next thing. What follows depends on whether the next thing was fun.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm that the person intends a relationship, that their interest will outlast novelty, or that they are not exploring several things at once. No card lets a reader see another person's plans. What a card can do is describe the kind of intention that fits the person's behaviour, and give you something to check against what they actually do.

The Page of Wands reversed as intentions

Reversed, the Page of Wands as intentions describes a plan that will not become action: all talk, a flirtation with no follow-through, or intentions that scatter as soon as something else catches the light. It can also describe someone who means to deliver bad news or to stir things up for the excitement of it.

In your own question, ask whether the person's enthusiasm has produced a single kept plan, or only a series of exciting messages. A reversed card as intentions is a prompt to compare what is said with what is done, not a diagnosis of bad faith.

The Page of Wands as an ex's intentions

Asked about an ex, the Page of Wands as intentions can suggest they mean to reconnect lightly, to flirt, to see if the spark is still there, with no plan beyond that. It is not an intention to repair anything. It is an intention to play, and if the ending needed seriousness, this card says the person is not in that mood. 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 Wands as a new person's intentions

For someone new, this card is a cheerful early sign: they intend to have fun with you and find out more. Keep it light while it is light. Asking a Page of Wands what their intentions are tends to produce a Page of Wands reversed.

What their intentions look like in action

Look for playful initiative: invitations to try things, messages that are more fun than deep, a visible enjoyment of your company. A Page of Wands intention is easy to see and quick to pass. Whether it becomes more is answered by whether they show up when it is not exciting.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, what the person seems to intend this week, and whether you can enjoy a short-range intention without needing it to be a long one. The third note is honest about you.

For comparison, the Page of Cups as intentions and the Knight of Wands as intentions describe different intentions. The the Page of Wands card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Page of Wands as a person and the Page of Wands as a yes or no cover the other questions people most often ask of it. 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.
