You may see this person in the position of the attendant or junior partner, but that is only a current appearance. That demeanor of humility or servitude will soon enough disappear, as her sense of mastery increases. By studying the example of those around her, successful and unsuccessful, she is building a game plan that will lift her from obscurity and make her successful in her own right. She just has to collect the necessary education and experience, which she is doing right now. (Tarot.com)

Description: The Page of Pentacles is a messenger of new openings
that promise improvement, security, confidence, or the chance to
make your dreams real. When such opportunities present themselves,
grab them. They will likely entail significant increases in social
status. This card can indicate financial dealings, new and
important friendships, study, scholarship, or a fascination with
work. He indicates all different avenues of moving ahead in a
practical manner. This Page is both happy and optimistic, and
thoughtful and serious, seemingly opposite traits, but merely two
sides of the same coin. While he can represent situations, he can
also indicate the presence of a person with these traits. This is
apt to be someone who will prove very helpful.
In the reversed position, this card symbolizes a façade. This can indicate that situations that appear successful or dependable are actually the opposite, or it can indicate that a person will be on the scene. This person, however well-meaning, is not going to help the situation. Stay clear. What they really are capable of is a far cry from reality.
