The Magician
The Major Arkana card, marked with number one. Is placed after The Fool and sometimes is the first card of the tarot deck.
Card description
The Magician is the second card of the Great Arcans, marked with the number one. The card shows a man behind a table on which there are four symbols of the Lesser Arcana: cups, coins, swords and maces. They are attributes of wisdom and self-knowledge. Unlike the Fool who precedes this card in the Tarot deck, the Magician knows his potential and knows how to use it to its fullest. His creative energy and dominion over matter are manifested in the archetypes of the Juggler or the Alchemist. A magician is a person who is between the material and the higher, spiritual energy from which he can draw handfuls. Like an alchemist who transforms common metals into gold, the Mage has the power to transmute the old into the new. He is able to turn his wishes into reality. The infinity symbol hovering above his head tells us about the enormous possibilities that lie within the reach of the Magician. However, the Magician does not always use these opportunities and potentials honestly. In a negative aspect, the Magician reveals himself as a juggler: a force that creates illusions, capable of deceiving others and drawing them into the world of illusions he has created. This makes the Mag card’s energy seem mysterious and difficult to tame.

Card meaning
The Magician Card speaks of the possibility of achieving our goals in the near future. The card shows that we have a great creative potential that should be activated. The energy of the card encourages to enter into new ventures, to engage in new ideas, to try out new methods and ways of action. The magician tells us to take responsibility for our own dreams and move forward. It indicates a person who already knows what he wants from life and in which direction he currently wants to go. It can also be a person who has the ability to influence other people, inspire them and encourage them to act. Often it is someone associated with broadly understood public life, with culture or art.
The Mag card is also the energy of efficient and fast communication. This energy advises us to pay attention to the messages that reach us, as they may contain information of great importance that we may be able to use for our own benefit.
In a negative aspect, the Magician warns against false rumors and against gossip that may hurt other people or even make someone’s life significantly miserable. The inverted magician may mean that not everything we hear is true and that in the present situation there is an important message or secret to be kept to oneself.
Combine your talents and efforts to achieve your goals.
You have everything in you that you need to achieve what you dream about.
Reversed Card
The inverted Magician card means weakness and tendency to depression. Card in this position tells also about fear somewhere deep in the subconscious mind that requires strength to act.
Fool card about Feelings
(Relationship, Love)
In the space of relationships, the Mag card augurs getting to know a person who enjoys high self-confidence and has a magnetic personality. It heralds a deep fascination with someone you have just met. This fascination, however, is not love at this stage. Rather, in nascent relationships, the Magician card represents the initial stage of enchantment and persisting mystery between two people. It points to a relationship that can go in very different directions, as indicated by the four symbols of the Lesser Arcana, also identified with the four elements: fire, air, earth and water.
In an inverted position, the Magician warns against too hasty succumbing to someone else’s superficiality. The person we are asking about may be hiding a secret from us or possess negative qualities that we do not currently perceive. It can be capable not only of strong persuasion, but also of manipulation. Like a juggler, our partner can offer us beautiful visions that do not have much to do with reality.
Regarding questions about relationships that have been going on for a long time, the Magician card indicates the power and creative potential that exists in a given relationship. At the same time, it can inform about internal blockages, shyness or repressed desires that call for release and fulfillment.
Card about Health
In the area of health, the Mag card in a positive aspect indicates great vitality and a harmonious flow of life energy, which is symbolized by a tilted eight – a sign of infinity and perfect balance. The inverted Mag card, on the other hand, may indicate problems with the nervous system. It also personifies experienced fears, internal tensions, being in the world of delusions and even losing contact with reality. In a negative aspect, the Magician card indicates a person who is out of balance, plunging into a chaos of thoughts and feelings. The charter warns against excessive isolation from others, against melancholy, hiding feelings and depression.
Tarot Card in Finances
In relation to the area of work and finances, the Magician card tells us about turning towards one’s abilities and talents in order to achieve success. It shows that in order to achieve professional goals, it is necessary to thoroughly recognize your own potential, know your strengths and weaknesses. The magician often foretells work related to our passion. It means an action that we carry out effortlessly, and material well-being is a natural consequence of this. The magician reminds us that the career path in which we develop our abilities and talents allows us to live in harmony with ourselves.
In addition, the Mag card indicates financial security as well as profitable investments and the multiplication of wealth. It also means working alone or in a position that requires some kind of isolation. It may indicate a career promotion or taking up a job that is associated with high responsibility. It means a position that allows you to gain prestige or enjoy authority among colleagues. For those holding managerial positions, it indicates the need to treat subordinates and colleagues fairly.
In response to questions about collaboration, the Magician card warns against being deluded and manipulated. It also talks about the possible postponement of important contracts, which may have negative consequences. The card advises you to listen to your intuition.
In almost every configuration with other cards, in relation to professional and financial matters, the Magician indicates the great inner strength of the questioner and the creative powers hidden in him. It reminds us that we have the opportunity to profoundly transform our professional life. We have enormous potential, but how we use it is up to us.
Remember to have your own interpretation. Focus and feel individual energy that flows from the Tarot Card.
