AdviceChoose one goal and give it all your attention.
What it means
The Magician has the four symbols of the tarot on the table: the wand, the cup, the sword and the coin. One hand points to the sky and the other to the earth: he is the bridge between an idea and making it real. The card speaks of will, focus and talent put to work for a goal. It is a moment to act, because the resources already exist; what is missing is the decision to use them with intention.
In love
Initiative and charm. It is time to say what you feel and show who you are, clearly and without games.
At work and with money
Recognised skill, the ability to persuade and to get things started. A good moment to present an idea or launch something of your own.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
