Lore
A young cupbearer studies a cup under moonlight as a small fish rises from the water inside it. The Page stands for an unexpected feeling or message, such as an apology, a dream or an idea, that deserves attention even if it seems odd.
In daily life, this card can bring an apology, a telling dream, or an odd invitation that opens a gentler way forward.
