Dear fellow tarot readers,
I'm trying to understand how to interpret Page of Pents as an obstacle from a relationship (romantic/ platonic) standpoint. Pentacles being material stuff, does this mean that the obstacle would be related to evaluating what is realistic and what would be the benefits coming out of a relationship?
Can anyone shed more light on this page?
Your interpretation is definitely a possibility. It could definitely mean that, and if that was your first reaction then that is likely what it does mean.
That said, we don't all read the same way. And all we can do is tell you what it would mean for us.
Pentacles are not about material things for me. They are about goals. They goals that we set to get to where we want to go. So let's say here about relationship goals.
Pages are those who are inexperienced at what they are facing. They are fumbling around, making mistakes, learning by trial and error...
So to me, had they been my cards, it would likely be saying that one or both of the partners don't understand themselves inside, their needs...well enough. They are trying to set goals that are not truly what they want or need to be happy. Maybe they were told growing up that this is how to have a relationship, but what they were taught is not true to who they are and will not make them happy.
OR maybe they know what they want, but just don't know how to achieve it.But those are what that card would mean there for me.
