However, she’s very grounded, so while she can and does pursue learning for learning’s sake, there’s also a strong commitment to learning with purpose and a focus on practical applications. Radiant Tarot suggests that this Page’s learning is especially focused on self-development, a thought extended by *Tarot for Change* to encompass the practical application element when she writes that there is an *emerging capability to use behaviour in a way that is devotional.* A comment from *Spiritual Tarot* that made me laugh because it is so true of me — *practically **inundated** with new resources*. [[Tsundoku - Books You Don't Get Around to Reading]] is real, although I am determined to get around to them. #### Attitude This Page isn’t sophisticated and is likely uncomfortable in situations that depend on wit, elegance, or a great fashion sense. (Holistic Tarot) She is keen to help people and is good at inspiring others to action. She is measured and thoughtful in her learning, with an ongoing commitment to paying attention. > [!leaf] Actions to Take 1. It’s no surprise that the number one action is to learn something new! Obviously, it should be something that you are really interested in. Ideally, you’ll be able to apply the knowledge in tangible ways. Developing colour mixing skills in painting would be an example. 2. Employ the patience of a “one step at a time” balanced approach to learning. The accumulation of small tasks will allow you to achieve bigger goals down the road. 3. Vision Quest Tarot suggests, *What grows within will develop beautifully if you just listen to what it needs and follow your life’s rhythm.* This speaks to the learning about oneself that this card emphasizes. Because Pentacles are about the practicalities of life such as finances, career, and body, some tarot authors suggest that learning about your body and how it communicates to you is a particularly useful focus when this card is pulled. 4. Journal or freewrite responses to any of these questions: - What skills do I need to develop in order to achieve my goals? - What absolutely amazes me? - What is something new I’d like to learn about? Why is it important to me? > [!Orbit] Buddha > Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart give yourself to it. > [!leaf] Shadow - Being overly practical in learning, ignoring your emotional or spiritual needs (Tarot for Life) - Hanging on to unrealistic goals - Being unwilling to do the work for what you want - Being hard on yourself, finding fault with your abilities or your appearance (Fearless Tarot) ![[Page of Pentacles RWS.webp|300]] #### The Beginning Pages are the beginners of the court cards. *Fearless Tarot* points out that every image on the card is in its beginning stages. For example the cluster of trees isn’t yet a forest. The single mountain in the distance isn’t yet a range. Everything is about to be, but there is the promise of things to come. For example, *Spiritual Tarot* interprets the high green field as lofty aspirations, the plowed land as the work itself, and the blue hills as the promised completion of the inner work. > [!leaf] A Tarot Spread From the book *Tarot for Creativity* — Either pull a card or choose one deliberately for the question, “What is my creative ambition?” Then shuffle and pull a card to answer the question, “What can I learn to help me achieve my ambition?”
