The Magician Tarot |
The Magician is the first tarot card in the deck. It is known as "Le Bateleur. As you can see, on the card there is a man, who looks young, that is standing in front of a table. He is actually working.
This major arcanum is the life element, an active card. The card number being 1 (male) represents the Yang element.
The Magician's meaning
When spread normally, this card stands for the beginning of everything, the will and desire of an human being. It can also be a man's job or a new romance for a woman.
In the reversed way, this arcanum represents the troubles one can face at work. It relates also to the lack of self-confidence, some kind of apathetic attitude.
Basic meaning of a tarot card is interpreted according to the way the card is placed when doing the spread (upside down or right position).
For instance, our client is a man who desires to learn more about his occupation and the opportunities he can expect from it.
Predictions using four major arcana
We shuffle the deck of 22 tarot cards and place the arcana this way:
- Left: Justice
- Right: The Moon
- Top: The Magician
- Bottom: Wheel of fortune
Meaning of the spread:
The Justice on the left tells us that this man is able to succeed
in his career (The Justice means stability and confidence);
The Moon on the right means that he should not have a total confidence in
his colleagues (the Moon represents hypocrisy and the lies);
The
Magician represents the profession of our consulting person;
The
Wheel Of Fortune means that this man will succeed in his career.
The synthesis of these four cards is 10 which is the number of the Wheel Of Fortune.
This card means that our consultant will have a great
professional career but only if he does not care about his colleagues and
their hypocrisy.
