The right hand of the Tarot Magician holds a golden scepter, a symbol of power, and is raised to the sky as a sign of the pursuit of science, wisdom and strength. The left hand extends the index finger to the ground as a sign that the purpose of a perfect person is to reign over the material world. This double gesture expresses, moreover, that human will must reflect on earth the divine will to attract good and resist evil.

The cup denotes a mixture of passions that contribute to both happiness and unhappiness, depending on how much we are masters or slaves of these passions, that is, how much we are able to manage them.

Overall value:

The magician denotes the mind, ingenuity, active life position. This is a period when we are faced with difficult problems, we must withstand some kind of test, however, complete clarity of consciousness and a life savvy help us to successfully cope with them. Although the card indicates a high potential of consciousness, this does not mean that the potential of intuition and other subconscious forces at this time can be neglected. On the contrary: our readiness for action, for success, to which the Magician points out, is based precisely on the harmony between consciousness and subconsciousness. It is only through the self-confidence that results from this harmony that we can truly move mountains.

Work:

The magician shows that we are aware of this potential of ours and use it by taking the initiative. Depending on what this initiative is aimed at, we can achieve financial success, promotion, or solve some difficult tasks, for example, pass exams or complete a project. If we have to perform the functions of a boss, we can do a lot to improve the climate in the team, give our employees an incentive to increase their efficiency, and thereby - the success of the entire company. In negotiations, projects, testing or other assignments that we have so far postponed due to some difficulty or problematic, we can now cut the Gordian knot. During this period, we will be able to cope with any problems.

Consciousness:

At the level of consciousness, this card testifies that our mind is clear and accurate, that we have enough intelligence and the gift of persuasion to succeed even in what we did not dare to undertake before. In addition, the Magician shows that we now have a "view height" that allows us to capture the entire perspective as a whole, so that we no longer get bogged down in details. At deeper levels of consciousness, the Magician personifies the ability to take responsibility for one's steps, determination and conscious control of one's own destiny, awareness of the life task.

To use it effectively means for the good of everyone, and not just for your own benefit. The magician symbolizes knowledge, in this case - the awareness of the importance of unity and harmony in relationships.

In a love relationship

A magician in a love relationship is always an initiator and experimenter. A magician is always the one who takes the initiative in acquaintances, attempts to actively seduce and makes an offer to unite by marriage. Naturally, a woman can also take the position of a Magician, but more often this role is given to a man. If the Magician represents a scientist or a businessman, then he may indicate that the relationship will be interesting, however, due to being busy with scientific research or the work of his life, he may not have enough time to spend time together. This statement will be true if the Hermit or Abstinence is next to the card. If the alignment is done on a relationship with a girl and the Magician fell on her part, then, most likely, she has another boyfriend, and you have a competitor. However, this may also mean that your friend is striving to control her life and independently influence her destiny. The appearance of the Mage and the Priestess on opposite sides of Gebo may indicate a successful game, if there are no dark cards. Since the Magician always represents the initiator, he is an indicator of a person engaged in a pickup (love hunt), and also inclined to make love affairs on the side. The presence of a Leo or Devil nearby will be a clear indication of such a feature. In addition, a Magician with the Devil can indicate a person prone to manipulation, deception and foul play.

Reading in layouts
"How does it feel ..."
“You bring something new into my life (situation). Through you, I find new options for actions (thoughts, feelings, sensations), new events and new impressions. This has never happened in my life. "
"Recommendations…"
The magician recommends taking a closer look at your life (situation) and finding (seeing) something new in it. If it is obvious, the Magician proposes to agree to a step forward, to accept this new thing into reality. No matter how scary or lazy (which is also scary), the game is worth the candle! Becoming a Mage is another version of reading this card in the "recommendations". Literally imbued with the idea of the creator, using the tools of your talents, abilities, knowledge, while trusting the world, people, yourself. Take an active, creative attitude.
"Prospects ..."
In some future, new things are expected to come into life (situation). A magician can mean a new meeting with a new person, a meeting with an old acquaintance in a new way, or in the presence of qualitative changes in this acquaintance. A new job, a new project, a trip to a new place, new experiences. Any aspect of the Magician on any scale.
Inverted Mage
Event
Refusal of new things in life, either full or partial. Doubts associated with fear of change. Unwillingness to accept the original idea in its pure form, the desire to "finish" or "remake" it at your discretion. Unnecessarily long reflections about the new, the desire to "pull" with implementation, to be safe or to create a more comfortable environment for yourself.
Causes of occurrence
The process is not constructive, since it is a distortion of the Magician's energy. Doubts are about the adequacy of the image of an idea, plans, event or person in life that are going to come. Or there are fears that the plan is not very good, will not be approved, and the result will be bad or unworthy to reflect on the image or image of the client. A waste of the Magician's energy is a waste of emotions. The habit of sharing ideas or plans with other people for the purpose of bragging or consulting, getting approval. An attempt to calculate the profits in advance, to divide the skin of an unkilled bear.
Result
New will not happen, or it will dry out on the way. What will come to life will not be new, but will repeat the old, possibly in a different decoration, form. Self-esteem goes down, self-confidence goes down. Boredom and trapped feeling. The experience of being stuck in the old and reinforcing fears.
Reading in layouts
"How does it feel ..."
“You are bringing me something new, but I am afraid (do not want) to take advantage of this opportunity. What if it will be worse than now? What will this new bring me? Who knows?". Another option: “Yes, I see that something new is being offered to me, but in the form in which it is offered, it does not suit me. Let me correct it now! Here a little and here a little bit .. "
"Recommendations…"
The main recommendation is not to do this. There is resistance to the new, the fear of going into the new. This is always unconstructive, because for these five minutes it slows down a person on the path of development. He is trying to stay in the old worldview (situation, relationship or style and form of relationship, and so on), and this will not bring anything interesting, exciting. Will not bring valuable experience, except that it will allow you to realize your fears.
"Prospects ..."
In some future, there will be a new arrival (or now the Magician has already come into a situation). But for his own reasons, a person will oppose him, want to refuse or distort, remake the pure energy of the Magician for himself. This always comes from the fear of change, which means it is not constructive.

The deep psychological meaning of the First Major Arcana

You are absolutely free and free to make any decisions. From the current situation you must find a way out yourself. You have enough strength to get what you want.

The card indicates intelligence, an active life position and some tests. In the vicinity of others, both Elders and Minors, the First Arcanum may indicate the need for greater dexterity.

In most books on tarot, the authors agree that the god Mercury corresponds to the Magus, he was the patron saint of soothsayers, secret sciences, transmitted the will of the gods to people. But he was also the patron saint of cunning, crooks and rogues. They prayed to him when they started something not entirely honest and legal, or a commercial matter.

The magician embodies the active solar principle, the Yang principle. On the card, he is depicted as a person who receives power from above and applies it on earth. The connection between what is above and what is below (This is the principle of Hermes the Thrice Great, the essence of which is briefly that the microcosm inside each person contains all the elements of the Macrocosm. And therefore the study of oneself will lead to an understanding of the essence of the whole World! Also this symbolism denoted by his rod and lemniscate (the lying figure of eight is a symbol of infinity, the fusion of the conscious and unconscious). The lemniscate personifies the exchange of energy between the worlds.

The Belt of the Magician is the serpent Ouroboros - an alchemical symbol of the infinity of the world and knowledge.

The quadrangular table in front of the Magician is a symbol of matter. This is our earthly reality, we will see a similar symbol in other Major Arcana, such as in the Pope's card and in the Devil's card. There are 4 items on the table in front of the Magician: a wand, a goblet, a sword and pentacles. They symbolize 4 cardinal points, 4 seasons and 4 elements: fire (personification of will, impulse), earth (personification of matter), air (personification of mind) and water (personification of the soul). According to Karl Jung, there are 4 psychological functions: sensation, intuition, thinking and feeling. This is our inner resource, which has to be mastered in full. It is not the objects themselves that are important, but the ability to rule over them. This is why the Mage juggles objects on some decks.

As Crowley writes, “Mercury symbolizes action in all its forms and phases ... It is an endless and continuous act of creation. “And the Magician talks about self-knowledge, awareness and further development of this potential in order to put it at his service. The whole card is unambiguous, in contrast to the ambivalent Jester, it is like the embodiment of the fact that we have a free strong-willed person who has the strength and capabilities to implement everything that was conceived. All 4 elements brought together are a symbol of the integrity of Creation, since according to ancient ideas, everything in this world consists of 4 elements. Everything in the Magician's card tells us about the task with which he was born, thanks to which one can gain integrity.

The main meaning of the card is that belief in oneself and will, guided by reason, can lead a person to the set goals. After all, if there is enough will to rule over oneself, then all the elements of this world will obey. The self-confidence of the Magician is supported only by the ability to rule over his passions. It is worth weakening the will and from a Magician you can easily turn into a Magician who can only juggle objects and think how long it will take for him. But it is not worth getting stuck on the stage of the Magician, this is just the first stage, at which, alas, many prefer to stay and refuse spiritual growth and self-improvement, in exchange for power.

The card depicts a man, usually in a red robe, with a hand raised high up, in which he holds a magic wand. There are four objects in front of him - a sword, a goblet, a wand and a coin. They represent the four suits of the Minor Arcana, as well as the four elements - air, water, fire and earth.
