I. The magician

A giant of a man stands and manipulates a figure between his fingers. His translucent silhouette and enormous moon ruling the background suggest the realm of the inner landscape, but his uncompromising presence dispels the mystery and replaces it with sheer force of will. He has mastered his subconscious, and as a result, the material world around him.

upright meaning:
bold • self-determined • skilled
The Magician is bold with his decisive power. He is self-determined and self-confident, and possesses a vision he truly believes should be realized. He is passionate, creative, and above all deeply connected to his surroundings, to his vision, to his life. When you receive this card, expect to receive a bolt of energy: what you are doing is worthwhile, and you have the means within you to accomplish it. This is not a time for doubt, but for action.
~
reversed meaning:
lack of energy • blockage • time for reflection
When The Magician is reversed, it is not the time to exert your strength of will. Stoke it quietly within yourself, and store up your energy. Choosing inaction can be maddening and looks like a lack of momentum. But there is a fierce fortitude in self-discipline, resisting the urge to strike out. Bide your time and wait for the seeds to sprout before you come into your power.
