I suppose the pages could refer to the querent's children or young relatives, or his/her students if a teacher. But they could also mean beginnings, the development of a new side to the querent's abilities, his/her inner child, some situation in which we don't feel very sure about ourselves... And then I have seen many people identify them with messengers, even though the Knights seem better fitted to that task (at least they can cover more ground on their horses

The knights would be adolescents: I find them easiest to interpret as immature people or an immature attitude in the querent. People very keen and enthusiastic but not likely to see things through to the end. Also, a passionate lover bent on conquest.
As for kings and queens, I confess to being stumped by them. I can maybe identify one as the querent and another as his/her mate, but what about the rest?
Gem, in your post about all court cards (which is locked, that is why I started this thread), you asked what would we think of getting 4 pages or 4 kings in a reading. If you must know, I would probably freak out! :smt103
Whenever I get many court cards in a reading, I tend to think "What are all these people doing here?"
But, trying to answer your question with a bit more thought, if I got all 4 pages I would either think this querent had a very big family, or that he/she is immersed in a whole lot of new activities and trying to learn everything at once: initial enthusiasm is fine but, how much longer can they keep it all up?

If I got all 4 Knights, I would be reminded of a high school party. Also, I would expect the querent to enjoy going out and meeting people, having brief and intense encounters, but not settling easily for a single relationship.

If I get all 4 queens (and this does happen sometimes when reading for a woman), I get a feeling of gossip going around in the querent's social scene. But it could also mean being supported by friends or sisters. Or it could mean having rivals for the love of a man.

And if I get all 4 kings, it could mean the querent is easily influenced by his/her elders (parents, mentors, boss). But it could also mean there are several men courting the querent (with luck!), or that he/she is interested in several at once.

I seem to remember seeing a thread that dealt with the court cards, but it was fairly old. I will try to have another look at it. :)
