Ever wonder why certain people seem to easily navigate life with opportunities that always come their way? Before one door closes, another one opens wide. In the blink of an eye they get new jobs, partners, friendships, social engagements. Health issues? Nah! They just seem to love life and life loves them back!
That's the essence of the Magican Archetype, the Major Arcana card in Tarot that comes on the heels of The Fool. One of the best gifts the Magician offers is a since of wonder at the unlimited possibilities life presents us with, along with all necessary resources to put things into motion.
Those resources come in all forms, embodying the elements of earth, air, water, fire and - of course - spirit or ether. In practical terms, the Magician archetype represents your ability to use your emotions, thoughts and self expression, passion and desires, and physical effort or movement to co-create with the universe.
Ruled by Mercury, the Magican is mercurial in nature and when we get that card in a reading, there's often a two-way quality to the message. Yes, we may have the keys (resources and open paths) to take action to manifest a desire or goal, but we also have to beware of being manipulative or careless -- like jumping into something full force without considering the long term consequences. Remember the saying: Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it!

If you want to reap the rewards of the Magician and use its gifts to create the best outcomes, here's a few things to consider:
-- Do you have a clear vision for how your desire will improve your life without harming others?
-- Do you trust your ability to handle whatever comes based on your actions (ex, the career or relationship that requires huge adjustments in your present life pattern)?
-- Are you taking time to cultivate the sacred bonds with Source so you can make the best use of your tools and resources (being grateful for assistance, helpers, your spiritual gifts, etc.)?
-- Will you commit to your goals even if it takes a while to manifest a successful outcome amd shift in your reality?
You see, the truth is that the person who seems to simply walk with magic in their veins so life flows in their favor is often the same person who worked hard to master their thoughts, emotions, habits and beliefs. If your experience hasn't gone so smoothly or you encounter blocks and obstacles, it's not Spirit picking favorites - it's Spirit encouraging you to more deeply examine your motives and methods.
You always hold the key. No one else is you and that is your power! The trick is finding the right doors and in that endeavor, Magician will gladly assist!
All my best! - Afefe 🪄♥️
Ever since my Saturn return I have had doors open that I never dreamed for a life that I would never dreamed possible. I am in the process of waiting for doors to open, people I need to meet cross my path. I have had three successful careers that happened almost like magic with doors opening and people putting in my path.
I used to wonder why some people seem to be so "lucky". I don't anymore. I know that there are things I need to learn. So I try really hard not to be jealous, and just celebrate their success.
The description of the magician was really helpful in my quest to learn tarot, and remember all the pieces of that puzzle.
Thank you Afefe!
I loved this message from the Magician. I am determined to let the magician in me to open the doors to amazing opportunities and new adventures! ❤️
