Princess of Disks

Meanings according to Rider-Waite:

ASTROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The Uranus/Venus conjunction as a symbol of an unexpected yet exceedingly valuable opportunity.

PRINCESS OF DISKS The Princess of Disks denotes a certain chance, a certain impetus to action. Since the disks signify the element of earth, this Princess may symbolize some specific, entirely practical proposal. Earth is solidity, stability, and therefore the proposal will most likely be reliable and trustworthy. At the same time, depending on the question posed, this may concern a profitable transaction, a promising new job, simply life experience, or an unexpected yet very favorable way out of an existing situation. This card always points to something tangible and solid, whatever the chances and options it offers.

PAGE OF PENTACLES The PAGE OF PENTACLES represents a person who wishes to learn dexterity, the ability to maneuver and live amid changes or to operate in the material world. But he (or she) has not yet advanced very far in this endeavor, since he himself does not know his own talents. A trap. To freeze in place.

UPRIGHT POSITION Astrological equivalents: Gemini, Mercury, the Moon in Gemini. The PAGE OF PENTACLES symbolizes a person capable of focusing on a single problem. This is a practical person, and therefore he knows how to apply his theoretical knowledge in practice. Sometimes this is the type of a student; in general, the PAGE OF PENTACLES is associated with apprenticeship, with reflection. The PAGE OF PENTACLES holds Knowledge in awe. Within him lies an irrepressible passion for the new. This is a person who reacts keenly to new ideas. The PAGE OF PENTACLES strives to keep abreast of all events, not to fall behind, and wishes to be well-informed. Often indicates a personality who is a bearer of news, or, in the worst case, of gossip.

REVERSED POSITION Astrological equivalents: Aquarius, Pisces, and planets in these signs. The reversed PAGE OF PENTACLES symbolizes a person with his head in the clouds, who at times refuses to reckon with obvious facts. His thoughts leap about in his head like squirrels. He is fascinated by many things at once. His attention jumps from one matter to another. The reversed PAGE OF PENTACLES easily becomes infected with new ideas. At times he is capable of illogical acts, and he finds it difficult to express his thoughts. This is a person whose logic is faulty. He is anarchic, intolerant of any restriction upon his freedom. The desire to embrace the unembraceable is sometimes very pronounced in him. Often this card symbolizes simply a vain and fussy person. Becoming involved with him, you risk material losses. Sometimes the reversed PAGE OF PENTACLES brings unpleasant news.

If the card is taken to signify an action. A. Upright card The process initiated by the KING OF PENTACLES has borne fruit.

B. Reversed card In the course of the development of the filial process, something went wrong. Therefore the process has either been irreversibly disrupted, or the results you have obtained in no way correspond to your expectations.
