Page of Wands is a traveler, a messenger, a good friend, an emissary, a foreigner, a long-awaited news, a messenger with news. He is like one who, striking the floor with his staff, announces the arrival of a new guest at a ball. This card speaks of the emergence of a new movement in a situation that seemed to be completely deadlocked, of the awakening of new interest and enthusiasm, a new look at things.
The Page of Wands embodies the archetype of the “divine child”, both narcissistic and vulnerable, like a god on earth. It is a fragile source of creativity, pouring out joy, light and wonder, and in need of protection.
The Page of Wands is prone to narcissism, so there is a danger of falling into narcissism.
The Page of Wands literally “declares itself”, knocking with a wand – I’m not like everybody, I’m special, look at me! He passionately wants to get ahead, surprise, become a favorite and the best.
The Page of Wands is a card that combines the Mercurial and Venusian influences with a slight Jupiterian touch. This is the childish side of the soul, curious and creative, capable of looking at the world with trust and hope, and contemplating joy, truth and beauty in everything around.

There is more enthusiasm here than actual love.

This is what happens in the case of stormy youthful love.
One of the traditional meanings of the Page of Wands is a young man from a good family who is looking for a mate; beloved, and worthy of trust. It’s only if it’s calculating marriage.
However, it could be a “one-night lover” (the Knight of Wands will last for a series of nights, but one cannot count on his constancy either). The trick is to marry first and then get a fire virgin. He won’t dare to leave you.
