Reversed
Reversed, Page of Wands keeps its subject (curiosity) but turns the current inward: the same energy arriving as hesitation, excess, or a door held shut from the inside.
A reflection
Pages are students: will and creative fire in its curious, unguarded, beginner form. Where in the work and wanting that gets you out of bed would it serve you to be openly new at something, asking the questions a beginner is allowed to ask?
