As a Person:
Someone who is consciously connected to the spirit world and the physical one at the same time. They understand how to use both worlds to create and nurture their dreams. They are a conduit of energy with limitless possibilities. Their heart is pure but they are not innocent like The Fool. They have lived their life in search of knowledge and have obtained much wisdom of both worlds along the way.
As a Situation/Experience:
The Magician represents the manifestation of your desires. You know what you want and you are ready to go for whatever it is. You are not just bumping into this dream randomly but have consciously made decisions that have led you to this very moment. You have all the tools you need to create this at your fingertips. All you must do is move them into place and watch it all unfold.
As Advice:
You have everything you need to manifest your desires. Don’t hold back. Now is the perfect time to move forward on whatever the reading is about. Take action. You are right where you need to be and the time is perfect to begin. Take your life into your own hands and move forward with a clear understanding of where you want to be and the knowledge that the spirit world will help you figure out the steps you need to take to achieve your goals along the way.
Reversed Meaning
Keywords:
Manipulation - Poor Planning - Untapped Talents - Hesitation
Changes are Needed Deception - Trickery - Lack of Confidence
As a Person:
The Magician reversed is someone who is fantasizing about their options but not yet sure of what they want. They are hesitant to take action until they feel they have a plan. They may feel disconnected from their soul’s knowledge or like they don’t have everything they need in order to make a proper decision on what they want to create in their life. They may be trying to force or manipulate the world around them in order to avoid the spiritual and emotional work it takes to align with their true desires.
As a Situation/Experience:
The Magician reversed represents feelings of delay or frustrations in creating your desires. You may be lacking the direction you need to move forward at this time. You, or someone involved, may be attempting to manipulate the situation to force it to be want you want without making any changes to themself. Or someone may be trying to force others to change by holding power over them. Due to this negative, ego driven intent, you are finding blockages and struggle instead of actual manifestation of your desires.
As Advice:
The Magician reversed represents taking little actions towards our bigger goals. It is not time to leap forward with our ideas but to start moving the building blocks into place to ensure a good outcome once we fully start the process. Defining your intent and purpose is important during this part of the process and it allows you to ensure you are truly lining up with your desires.
