I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Incomparable

From the Spirit Within Tarot, the Page of Cups; from the Answer Deck, Jealousy:
Jealousy is the tie that binds, and binds, and binds. 
~Helen Rowland

The Page of Cups is ruled by his heart rather than his head, which is probably why he tends to pay attention to his intuition. By using the unconscious information stored in his body and mind, he can make quick decisions without analytical thought. One day he'll be the go-to guy when the company needs a brainstorming session to work out some solutions, but for now, he has to manage all those hormones and emotional surges as best he can. Does he ever get jealous of his cousins who are guided by their passion, intellect or practical natures? The Jealousy card would implore him to save his energy on comparing himself to others. He might not have their talents, but he is unique in his own abilities even though he'll have to grow into them. 

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.     
~Friedrich Nietzsche
