The Magician (I)
Before pulling cards with a new deck, I recommend scattering them across your bed and mixing them in a circular motion. This helps your deck settle into its own energy and develop a unique personality, making your readings more connected. Once you’re ready, you can look below for the meanings of each card in both upright and reversed positions.
​
Keywords For Upright Position
Manifestation · Power · Skill · Focus · Inspired action
​
Keywords For Reversed Position
Manipulation · Ill intentions · Wasted talent · Disconnection · Scattered energy.
​
The Magician (Upright)
The Magician upright represents mastery in motion, it's the ability to channel unseen energy into tangible form. It speaks of confidence, recognition, and the strength that comes from using your talents with authenticity. This card reminds us that true power is not only about control, but about creation rooted in sincerity and heart. The Magician upright is a sign of success born from intention, skill, and a pure desire to bring something meaningful into the world.
​
The Magician (Reversed)
The Magician reversed warns of misused power, scattered focus, or acting without a clear plan. It can point to recklessness disguised as confidence, or leadership that slips into ego rather than true vision. Here, talents may be wasted through distraction, impulsive choices, or trying to control outcomes instead of aligning with them. This card asks us to pause and check intentions: are you creating with clarity and purpose, or chasing influence without direction? The Magician reversed reminds us that mastery requires balance between willpower and wisdom without it, potential turns into chaos.
