Tarot Card Meanings – The Magician
The appearance of the Magician in a Tarot card reading reminds us that we have the ability to focus our energy and to make use of outside tools, objects and influences in order to achieve our desires.
Maybe you have talents and knowledge that you haven’t realised you can use in the particular situation to which you are seeking answers. If that’s the case, then you need to reflect because the chances are that you already hold the answer. Remember, the Magician isn’t referring to anything mystical, simply making use of the already proven laws of nature and reminding you to use these to your advantage.
You need to take close observations of what is going on around you and remain open and flexible to how you can manipulate these forces of nature. Being adaptable to change will be necessary if you want the final outcome to be to your wishes.
The Magician is one of my favourite cards. Simply because he represents everything that I can be and/or do with my life. It’s a reminder to me that ultimately, if I choose, I have the power to change my world.
Whereas, the Fool has no idea of what he can become, and even if he did, he wouldn’t know how to do it, the Magician is fully aware of the power he holds. This is the strength he possesses.
If referring to a person, the Magician is most likely to represent a male personality, though not always so. Whoever it is though will be someone who knows how to utilise the skills and knowledge at their disposal, scientists, surgeons, engineers, inventors…
The Magician Reversed
If the Magician appears in your reading in the reversed stance, then you aren’t taking full advantage of all the skills and talents that you possess. Or maybe you are pretending to know more than you really do? If you need more training in a particular skillset in order to achieve your goals, then you need to apply yourself wholeheartedly to acquiring it. You can’t make use of something you don’t have. Not even with the help of the Magician by your side.
