What does Page of Wands mean in love?
Page of Wands in a love or relationship reading. What it says about connection, what it asks of you, and how it changes upright versus reversed.
In love and relationships
Flirtation, early excitement, a playful connection.
It is light and it is genuine, and those are not opposites. The card describes attraction that is enjoying itself and has not been asked for anything yet.
Reversed, somebody who loses interest as soon as it requires something. That is worth reading without bitterness: the interest was real while it lasted, and it was never going to survive an inconvenience.
As somebody's feelings, it reads as excited, playful and early. Genuine, unformed, and not yet tested against anything.
Upright
A new passion, a message that excites, somebody bringing energy into a situation.
Explore freely. Being a novice is an advantage here rather than a liability, and the card is specific that the value is in not yet knowing the constraints.
Waite kept the medieval page, who is a messenger, which is why news and messages remain a standard reading alongside the personality.
Reversed
Enthusiasm that does not survive contact with effort.
Scattered interests and unfinished starts, or a person who is all announcement and no delivery. The tradition is not contemptuous about this; it is a stage, and most people pass through it.
The useful diagnostic is what happens at the first tedious part, because that is where this Page reliably goes quiet.
Keywords

Draw it for yourself
Reading about a card is not the same as drawing one. A single-card reading takes about a minute and answers your question rather than a general one.
