The Magician

The Magician is the first and most powerful spark of a new idea. This archetype stands for that moment you get a great idea through focus and determination. You can’t fake this kind of creativity. It’s a part of your higher calling. However, the Magician is just the one sees the vision. They’re the teacher that shows the Fool that the Fool has all the skills, logic, and intellect to carry through this big idea. Like any good teacher, the Magician shows you your power but doesn’t “write the novel” for you. This card features a magic wand with stars around. The wand acts as an lightning rod between the stars and the ground. The stars around the wand, each representing a suit in the minor arcana, show that the Magician is master of all the elements needed to create.

Reversed cards in tarot mean the same as when upright, but there’s something blocking or stifling the energy coming through. In the case of the Magician reversed, it’s an amazing intellect for new ideas. The culprit blocking this is self-doubt. You’re overlooking signs that you’re on the right path. Pay attention to coincidences. While it’s great to have high standards for yourself, cut yourself some slack. You’ve gotten this far, haven’t you? Don’t be so rigid in your standards. What seems like second-best is actually what’s divinely meant for you, and you’re resisting it because of rules you made up for yourself in your head.
