The Magician Tarot Card Meanings
Introduction:
The Magician is about making higher and better use of all of one's power. Spiritual, emotional, and otherwise. This is another card that often signifies new beginnings and great expectations.
This is a very powerful, positive omen in a reading. This card reminds us that we have the power to make a difference, in our lives and in the greater world, if we simply make a point to try.
You should note that this is not magic in the sense that you need to do spell-work or anything of that nature. It's also not "magic" like a stage illusionist performs, which is the somewhat superficial appearance of wondrous feats.
This is actual transformation of the literal and figurative world in normal ways. You are not going to have it all handed to you on a plate, but you have the potential to have that plate and a lot of what's on it if you do the magic yourself.
The Magician is all about action. If you do nothing you'll get nothing. If you don't know what to do then just do something because anything is better than nothing. In other words if you don't try you won't get.
General:
You may notice many synchronicities, which point towards deep, spiritual events taking place regardless of the importance of their superficial appearances. You should be finding that you have the knowledge, strength, and inspiration needed to meet your challenges. In general this is a very positive time for you.
It is important to note though that to make the very most of this time you will need to do your part. Even though the Magician is a very positive card it is all about potential.
Work:
There will be an improvement in your work/career life. Particularly if your work is in a creative field this is a time when your suggestions and work will be met with appreciation and may lead to bigger and better things.
Bigger and better things are definitely a possibility. A promotion may be on the horizon but even if it isn't a pay rise might be. Whichever is the case this is a time to sound your own trumpet and ask. As the saying goes... "If you don't ask you don't get!"
If you are out of work or thinking about changing jobs this is an auspicious time to do so. Even if you think you've exhausted all the possibilities you haven't so if necessary go back and repeat all the steps you have already taken and try again.
Love:
If you are in the market for a new romance, this is a time when you are likely to meet someone new. Right now someone out there somewhere is looking for you just as you are looking for them.
Whether they find you or not will depend on you. Don't sit at home expecting Mr/Miss Right to walk up your garden path and knock on the door because they probably won't. You need to be out there making yourself available to be found and this is an excellent time to do just that. Get out there and meet people.
If you're in a long-term relationship already then the relationship will very likely rise to new and deeper levels of commitment and enjoyment. Even if nothing very concrete seems to have changed when you think about it objectively your perception of it will.
Finances:
Money should be on the upswing when this card appears even if no feasible way for this to happen is apparent at the time you do your reading. Someone or something will appear that will allow you to make more money, whether this is an idea, a chance to do some work on the side or even a new position. Have faith in yourself and your ability to succeed.
That doesn't mean you should jump at every opportunity that comes your way. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is, but not automatically so. This card can sometimes manifest opportunities that that appear that way but are the real deal. Always do your homework.
Health:
If you've been feeling ill, that will most likely end soon; this card signifies strength and/or the return of strength. If you do have some kind of ongoing health issue that hasn't gotten better, you may benefit greatly from undertaking some sort of additional alternative therapy such as nutritional counseling, massage, dietary restriction, and so forth.
Spirituality:
This is an excellent time for you to undertake some form of spiritual study that you've thought about in the past but haven't had the opportunity to pursue. You would also benefit from discussion groups that are spiritual in origin.
A spiritual teacher may appear in your life now. This person will be an excellent mentor and will help you to have a new lease on life.
