For questions like “How do they feel about me?” The card describes a possible mood, never what someone really thinks.

A mood this card can describe: curiosity and excitement, a wish to explore without overthinking it. What feels playful between you?
Reversed
A mood this card can describe: interest that comes and goes. How much of your hope rests on it lasting?
Is Page of Wands a yes or no card?
Upright
Leans yes. Page of Wands: curiosity, and the eagerness to explore.
Reversed
Leans no. Page of Wands reversed: enthusiasm that starts and doesn’t finish.
A lean is the card’s mood, not a verdict. Yes or no tarot can’t answer questions about health, pregnancy, money, the law or what someone else will do. Draw one card for a yes or no question, or see every card’s lean.
