The Magician Tarot Card Meaning

The Magician_photo

As one of the major arcana, the Magician signals major events or changes in life. The Magician often appears as a man with one hand pointed at the sky and the other at the ground- with one hand he reaches for the heavens and with the other, he grounds himself as if to say “as above so below”. The Magician reminds us that the earth is a reflection of the heavens. 

The Magician is powerful and determined to manifest his desires. After all, for centuries, magicians have operated outside the realm of whatever is deemed possible.
