The Apprentice
What if everything you dream of is possible? If the life you long for isn’t built on grand gestures, but on small, deliberate steps?
The Page of Pentacles is the seeker, the student, the apprentice. He stands at the threshold of his own potential, holding a vision of what could be.
But ideas alone are not enough—he must plant the seed, tend the soil, commit to the work.
But let me ask you: Do you honor your ambitions with action? Or would you rather wait around for a sign before you start?
