Mage tarot health. Card Mage (Tarot): meaning, interpretation. The Wizard and Relations with the Outside World

The meaning of the Arcana Tarot Magician in the Waite deck has undergone significant changes compared to the Marseille Tarot. From a fairground swindler and charlatan who deceives simpletons, he turned into a handsome and noble master of the elements. There are many small and interesting details on the map. Let's start with the fact that the Mage's hat was transformed into a lemniscate. The colorful clothes of the Mage were replaced by a slightly pretentious red and white suit. The same theatrical in essence, but designed to play a completely different role.

On the Tarot card, the Magician is girded with a snake. Perhaps this is an allusion to Ouroboros. There are signs on the end of the table. There has been a lot of speculation as to what exactly is depicted there. But it's pretty hard to see. According to Markus Katz and Tali Goodwin, the symbols of three of the four elements are depicted there. Finally, wild wildflowers under the feet of the Magus from the Tarot of Marseilles are replaced by lilies and roses, as a possible indication that the forces of nature have been tamed and transformed.

Basic meaning

As in other Major Arcana, in the description of the Magician, Waite practically does not pay attention to divinatory meanings, but basically reveals which idea corresponds to one or another detail of the card drawing. Modern ideas about the meanings are as follows: youth, energy, creativity. It can indicate both creativity as a process and a person with a creative nature. The Magician's work is rarely focused on some real, concrete result. Least of all he cares about making use of his creativity. He is fascinated by the process itself. The more new, the more original what he turned his attention to, the more likely he is to get carried away with it. This applies to everything, and ideas, and relationships, and gadgets.

Creativity requires energy, and the Magician possesses it in full measure. Energy is associated with youth. And often it is really a question of a young man. But the card can also simply indicate an energetic person, regardless of his actual age.

Meaning in relationships

Open-closed card

This is a very open card, but its openness is very specific. Its activity is similar to Brownian motion, where each molecule collides with tens and hundreds of other molecules, randomly changing its trajectory.

Relationship Intensity

The high intensity of relationships in the meaning of the Tarot Magician card for the future lasts as long as the effect of novelty persists. When this effect ends, the relationship ends.

Relationship scenario: love, family, relatives, work

Some cards are very easy to describe as a human condition and hard to describe as the result of a joint effort. The meaning of the Magician in love card is just such an individual card. If we talk about relationships, then this is, first of all, a competition and a game. The task is not so much to win, but to push, fight, move. At the same time, this is not a team game. Rather, it is "all against all."

It's very similar to puppy play. There is constant competition. Puppies on the one hand together, and on the other hand, every man for himself.

The partner is attracted by the willingness to play the game or offer his game. Loyalty, reliability and everything else The magician does not know how to appreciate.

He does not tolerate stagnation and routine. It is important for him to constantly change impressions. He will prefer to change his partner, but not give up his games.
And now, let's look at the Magician card in combination with other Tarot cards ...

Combined with the Major Arcana

• Magician combined with a card: An energetic undertaking turns into a powerful, stable structure.
• Magician combined with a card: The starting energy is not enough to complete the process.
• Magician in combination with the card: The case will drag on for a long time.
• Magician combined with the card: Vigorous actions and a cold-blooded assessment.

Psychological condition

"And he is in a hurry to live, and he is in a hurry to feel." In general, there are a lot of examples of the Magician in the literature.

For example, the beautiful poems of David Burliuk:

"Everyone is young, young, young,
Fucking hunger in my stomach.
Everything we meet on the way
Maybe we should go for food.”

Mage is greedy. But greedy in a good way. He is in a hurry to try everything, to experience everything. Not to enjoy, but to live life to the fullest. He is afraid to be late, not to be in time, not to see. He is attracted by everything new, unknown. He is ready to take risks. He perceives life itself as an exciting game with high stakes. He is passionate, he does not understand how you can live in peace. He does not bind himself with relationships and obligations, because tomorrow there will be something new, different, even more attractive and curious than what is now.

He is very inquisitive and curious. But his interest in new objects is short-term and shallow. Superficial acquaintance completely satisfies him, the illusion of knowledge for the Magician often turns out to be enough. He is very enthusiastic. But usually enthusiasm is not enough for a long time, and the intended goal is rarely achieved.

In combination with the suit of Staves

• With a card: The actions of the Mage do not conceal a double bottom.
• With a card: Public opinion is not on your side.
• With a card: You are under the inconspicuous guidance of someone more experienced.

The meaning of the card in matters of health

The card indicates excellent, remarkable health. A person has a large supply of internal energy, leads an active, mobile lifestyle. If he happens to get sick, he prefers to use new, even if not proven, methods of treatment.

Combined with the suit of Cups

• Combined with: Great joy, new love.
• In combination with: Finding a soul mate.
• In combination with: Help and support of relatives in all endeavors.

Business and finance, Arkan Mage in professional activity

The financial situation is changing almost every minute. Now a millionaire, in two hours - bankrupt, in another two hours - again a millionaire. Money for the Magician is not a goal, but a means. He does not know how to enjoy his wealth, but often he knows how to earn very well. He has a powerful intuition and a well-developed creative streak. This combination allows him to make unmistakable bets and hit the jackpot. He can see things that others don't see. Create, invent, create new structures and objects. However, he rarely manages to bring the process to a result, because he is fond of something new and loses interest in the old.

Stability, manageability, controllability

The map is unstable, only partially controlled. The Mage somehow owns the situation itself, but at the same time he is poorly controlled himself.

Ways to Increase Income (The Key to Increasing Income)

Everything is new - employees, methods, scope, absolutely unlimited approach. The main thing is to do something that has never been done before. Ideas on the verge of creative madness. Crochet in general (as a new skill) and knit new products (trees, car bumper decorations). At first (and at the second) glance, a useless creative is just what is needed for the Magician.

The meaning of the Tarot card Mage in matters of work is interesting. A way to raise money for a business is a kick start. Announcement on the Internet about plans, ideas, a new non-standard product and fundraising via SMS. Audacity second happiness.

General state of finances and trends

Money, as a rule, is not an end, but a means. If the Magician puts money above all else, then he may lose the feeling of "drive". The state of finances is as chaotic as the activity of the Magician itself: now there is no money, in an hour - a million, in two hours again zero in the account. The card does not speak of receiving money, of increasing income; it only emphasizes that through active actions, physical or mental, it is possible to maintain the desired state, “movement”. And as a result, the income-expenditure of funds in a very wide range.

Positive and negative impact of the card on income

Property - impudence - can be interpreted in two ways. Of the negative consequences - a very likely collision with the law; he can go against the rules just like that, “weakly” or out of interest. Adrenaline addict. But on the other hand, there is no fear of closed doors, no unnecessary questions - can I, do I have the right? And often unrealistic projects, announced without a shadow of a doubt, are given the go-ahead.

How the Magician will use this opportunity in this case is an open question. On one side of the scale - a creative breakthrough, a successful experiment, a brilliant invention with a guaranteed percentage of sales. On the other side, wasted family or sponsor money for a crazy, stillborn project.

Combined with the suit of Swords

• In combination with: The ideal time for action.
• In combination with: Ill-considered actions will lead to a broken heart.
• In combination with: It's time to take a non-standard approach.

Tarot Card Magician as Cards of the Day and Caution

It's time to act.

Card of the day Caution

Actions are ill-conceived.

Combined with the suit of Pentacles

Major Arcana Tarot Mage (Wizard, Magician)

Any event, action, feeling or idea has its own starting point of formation. The parameters of the event, all its constituent parts are displayed in the matrix or, as we say, in the DNA structure of this event. SA Mage, appearing in the alignment, shows us the possibility or impossibility of the existence of this event on the physical plane. If the DNA of the event contains information without distortion, without violation, then we will get the final result and in our layout, the Magician will be direct. If initially there are violations in the DNA or in the structure of the event, then we will not get the result at all, or we will get the result not the one we are counting on, in this case the Magician will be inverted. Imagine that you are planting the seeds of a flower in a pot. If the seed contains the correct plant DNA, then with proper care, that is, with an infusion of energy, we will get a beautiful flower. If we plant a seed in the ground, in the structure of which there are already distortions, then no matter how we water it, no matter how we take care of it, we will not get the desired result.

The Direct Magician in the layout shows that the event is formed correctly, and it has the potential to be realized in the future. If the Jester is the generator of ideas, the Magician is the transformer of ideas. The Magician has enough strength and energy to realize, so to speak, bring the event down to the physical plane. The unit as a symbol of the beginning corresponds to the letter of the Hebrew alphabet "Aleph" and corresponds to the aces in the Minor arcana of the Tarot. In Greek mythology, the map corresponds to Hermes, in Roman - Mercury, and in astrology - the Sun.

Let's take a closer look at the Mage card. We see a young man in long clothes, white color in clothes means the beginning, red - activity. In his right hand he holds a rod as a symbol of power, the finger of his left hand is turned to the earth, which is the personification of the fact that the Magician transforms energy, materializes it, he is an intermediary between the upper plane and the material world. Above the head of the magician, we see the sign of infinity as a symbol of open and endless possibilities. On the table in front of the Magician, we see the symbols of the four elements. Raising his hand over the table, the Magician shows that he rules over all the elements, he is able to control them. The pentacle is a symbol of the material world, the goblet is a symbol of the Grail, emotions and feelings, a symbol of the feminine, the wand is a symbol of energy, action and society, a symbol of the masculine, the sword is a symbol of truth and the power of the mind. All 4 elements on the magician's table form a microworld, and the magician's posture on the map shows that he is the master of the situation and creates his own reality. The lilies on the map, as well as the clothes of the Magician, indicate the purity of thoughts, the beginning, the roses indicate passion and the end result. The Belt of the Magician shows that everything in our world is cyclical and everything is intertwined. The end of one process is the beginning of another.

Positive meanings of the Mage card in the layout:

Will, ability, a successful start, initiative, inspiration, confidence, determination, independence, enough energy and strength to cope on your own, attractiveness, decision, the answer is YES to the question whether an event will happen.

Negative meanings of the Mage card in the layout:

Manipulation, domination or suppression, falseness, fraud and cunning, deceit, theft, false path, magical effects on a person, selfishness, high self-esteem.

Magician in personal relationships:

Sexual attraction and magnetism, relationships have every opportunity for further development, in some cases the Magician indicates the manipulation of one partner over the other, one partner seeks to subjugate the other. Strong attraction of partners. In an inverted version, the Magician shows a lack of development in a relationship, no confidence, no desire to continue the relationship. According to the inverted Magician, relationships are doomed to failure in the future. You can artificially maintain relationships, pouring a lot of energy into them, growing an artificial matrix, and in this case, relationships will exist, but exactly as long as you maintain them.

Magician in matters of work and business:

A very good lasso for business, it means the implementation of ideas, it shows that there are enough forces, the project matrix has good data (there are no distortions in the DNA), there are abilities and opportunities for translating the case into reality. A magician in business shows your personality and often says that you are able to handle yourself when it comes to your project, or can indicate a person who has a strong influence on you. In questions about companions, partners, the Magician warns that you can be manipulated and you need to be careful. The inverted Mage gives a stillborn project, or a project for which there is not enough strength, time, desire, to achieve a result, it will be necessary to pour in much more resources than originally planned. The inverted Magician shows a person's insecurity, his doubts, lack of resources.

Mage in Health Matters:

Excellent health, fast recovery, strong immune system, great willpower and fortitude. The magician is primarily responsible for the health of the physical body and shows that the energy potential of a person is normal. Reversed Magician - lack of strength, lethargy, somatic diseases, general malaise, which is primarily associated with a decrease in vitality. With appropriate questions, it can indicate a magical effect and an outflow of energy, and the cards standing next to it will show exactly where the potential is taken and how much energy is taken from a person.

So, the Magician is a transformer. With the help of the Magician, we can concentrate and direct energy to obtain the desired result. The Arcana of the Magician is often used in various practices and techniques to attract what we want into our lives, with the help of the Magician we can model our future.

Tarot Magician - the value of this card is necessary if you want to work with Tarot cards. Arcane Mage is a symbol of warmth, strength, flexibility and quick wits.

In the article:

Tarot Magician - the meaning of the major arcana

It should be noted right away that the appearance of this lasso in the layout speaks of the Personality with a capital letter. This is a person who is able to express his individuality, he is strong-willed, strong physically and spiritually. In the event that a person is not able to properly manage such resources, he may be prone to tyranny, be aggressive and abuse his position.

If we consider the meaning of the Tarot Magician card not as a symbol of a certain figure, but as a card in general, it is a harbinger of good events. Power inspires a person and tells him that he really has power over events. The individual can control the events that happen to him.

But in order to really manage the situation, it is necessary to strain the will and mind. At the moment, you have the opportunity, a rare chance to completely change the situation the way you want it, jump above your head, learn as much as possible new, achieve material well-being, win the heart of a loved one, surpass everyone in everything.

In the upright position, the Tarot Mage has a good meaning, the card says that you have the opportunity to start life from scratch, no mistakes have been made yet, this is a new period and you can live it the way you want. At the moment you are in complete safety, you can create the necessary conditions for existence on your own.

Remember, at the moment you have the opportunity to start your own business, find a new job, carry out a project that previously turned out to be unrealistic. Sometimes the fall of a card means the birth of a child. The card is filled with strong male energy.

If she symbolizes a woman, then it is likely that she is an individualist, independent, a leader always and in everything, who is ready to really go over heads like a man in order to achieve some goal. If the card falls out in the layout, the answer is yes. Similar card names are a magician, a wizard who is able to achieve what he wants in some amazing way.

Magician reversed tarot

In an inverted position, the lasso Mage Tarot says that at the moment a person has two problems. First of all, the flow of energy, which should encourage a person to new feats, is blocked. In the second case, on the contrary, a person has energy, but he uses it incorrectly.

A similar position of the card often speaks of insecurity, depression, melancholy, indecision, and a dismissive attitude towards oneself. The individual does not love himself enough, does not devote time to self-development, improvement of his body and soul.

This is a classic meaning that is used to interpret the layouts that were made on classic tarot, for all decks that were made in the Waite tradition (or the authors of unique decks referred to a similar interpretation). The Mage inverted has another interpretation, which can sometimes be found among the authors of peculiar unique Tarot decks.

They assure that in fact this lasso does not have a negative meaning and is always positive. Everything that a person sees at a given moment is provoked by the inability of the individual to assess his power over the situation. In this case, the inverted Mage says that the person had a choice, but the main moment when it was necessary to act was missed. Now we just have to wait for the results.

In most cases, tarologists are still inclined to believe that the inverted lasso Mage speaks of not entirely favorable consequences, abuse of one's power, human selfishness, perhaps even teenage maximalism or excessive infantilism.

If you create a portrait of such an individual, then it will turn out to be a completely cunning, cunning, greedy, insidious swindler in Tarot cards, who will be ready for any dirty deeds in order to achieve the goal. Sometimes the appearance of such a card in the layout indicates that a negative impact is being made on the individual.

Work and finance

When dealing with work or money, the Arcana Magus Tarot is a good harbinger. Most often, such an individual is a master of his craft, who is well versed in his work, confident in his professionalism, really has a significant advantage, stands out from the background of others.

If you have your own business, it's time to take action and develop it. Often the card indicates people of creative professions, most often writers, creators who are ready to create reality, to open people's eyes.

Such a person is excellent at speaking in public, changing his images, leading people along with him. If we talk specifically about finances, then you will receive profit thanks to your skills, enterprise, and the correct use of your abilities.

Know that wealth will not flow from the cornucopia, you will have to sweat in order to receive a reward. But it will definitely satisfy you. At the moment, you have the opportunity to change jobs, expand your business, and establish new partnerships.

Mage Tarot Card - Meaning in Relationships

In relation to other people, the lasso Mage portends a positive trend. You will be able to overcome any barriers that are between you and the interlocutor. Remember, people do not need to be used only for your own benefit, feel unity with the team and you can achieve what you want.

If we talk about the relationship between a man and a woman, then in this case the Magician speaks of initiative, experiments, seduction, the desire to marry (the relationship will be quite interesting). Be prepared that one of you who is identified with the Magician will not be able to devote much time to a partner and help to constantly develop relationships, as he will always be busy with work, science, his life's work.

If, however, the alignment was carried out on the relationship of the girl to the young man and the Mage falls out from her side, this indicates that she has another fiancé. If there are no negative cards around or the High Priestess lies next to the Magician, this means that this is a very good party, this marriage will not collapse, love will not fade away after many years.

Health status

There are several interpretations of the Mag card that can be used in a health spread. If we turn to ancient interpretations, then this lasso is often associated with a healer, and his presence implies any health problems. Although most often this is a psychological disease: depression, longing, suffering for someone.

If you believe modern interpretations, then the lasso Mage is a harbinger of quite favorable events that relate to health. In the upright position, the card symbolizes a complete cure, good physical and mental health. In the inverted position, the lasso symbolizes spiritual disharmony.

Divination in half a minute

His parents divorced, and his father rarely talked to him.
Dan was very hurt when his father canceled the next meeting or showed up several hours late.
Dan stopped respecting his father and thought that he was a liar.

The magician in the Tarot layout showed that Dan is absolutely right in his concern for his father, who, due to his unreliability, is not at all what is needed in Dan's life at this period.
But this card means that only the efforts of the father, not Dan, can change anything.

The latter needs to learn how to stop anger in himself (since this emotion is useless), take care of his own life and find other positive role models at school or in the family.

Annie Lyonnet. "Tarot. Practical guide.»

Symbolism

The magician is often depicted with one hand raised up and the other hand down and pointing to a wand, pentacle (disk with a five-pointed star), sword or bowl, which serves as an illustration of his ability to draw the energy of the mind and spirit from above and transfer it down to the earth. .

The wand, pentacle, sword and cup of the Minor Arcana are associated with the four elements in astrology - fire, earth, air and water, as well as with the four psychological functions of C. G. Jung - intuition, sensation, thinking and feeling.

Your huge reserve of strength and energy should be enough to achieve both creative and intellectual aspirations.

Stuart R. Kaplan. "Classic Tarot. Origin, history, divination.

Description

The double-ended magic wand of creativity, shaped like a phallus, which he holds in his hand, completes the four suits of the tarot deck.
The hat of the Magician is in the shape of the figure 8 in a horizontal position, which is an ancient occult number attributed to Hermes, and which suggests inner knowing and the merging of the conscious and the unconscious into something eternal and never ending.

His upraised left hand absorbs power from above, and through the unity of his will and creativity, he makes things manifest themselves through his freely lowered right hand.
This dual sign suggests that everything on earth was created, happened from above.

The magician experiences the formation of his own personality through his creative abilities and possibilities.
He has the ability to use the objects of his table in such a way that his thoughts, words and actions are successful.

The magician sees life as a never-ending game of roulette, during which circumstances arise over which one can actually exercise some control, based on individual abilities.

P. Scott Hollander. "Tarot for beginners."

The personality depicted on this card symbolizes the ability to control and manipulate people, objects and events.
The Juggler is usually called the Magician.
It corresponds to the number one and the Hebrew letter aleph.

Allegory

Description

In all decks, the figure stands alone.
Male or female, the Magician has a young face and wise eyes - he has no age.
The costume changes from deck to deck - from Egyptian to Greek or even medieval.

However, the Magician always has a belt, and in some decks this belt represents a coiled snake (perhaps Oroboro is an alchemical symbol for a snake swallowing its tail, or the snake into which Moses and the Egyptian magicians turned their wands).

The magician stands with his hand raised, usually holding a wand; the other hand points down.
The downward pointing hand may be holding an object.
(Note that the posture mirrors the shape of the aleph.) The symbolism here is as above, so below.

This is consistent with the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus that the smaller world within each person (the microcosm) contains all the elements of the larger world (the macrocosm) and the study of the individual - yourself - can lead to an understanding of all that exists.

Directly in front of the Magician is usually a low table (or perhaps an altar) with various objects.
In some decks, it's just a mixed bag of items.
In other decks, there are four specific shapes corresponding to the four suits of the Minor Arcana: the cup, the sword, the wand, and the pentacle.

Note that the world here represented under the control of the Magician is the Tarot; thus, the subjects must be the Minor Arcana.
However, if your deck shows other items, this is not a mistake.
In any case, they symbolize the objects over which the initiate rules.

And this is the essence of the map: power over yourself and the elements of your world.

inner meaning

It is not the objects themselves that are important to the Magician.
The ability to manipulate and dominate them is important.
If you consider the card a Magician, then, according to the occult teaching, the true Magician stands in the center of the universe, and all objects are imbued with his light.

Whatever he creates, the universe in his brain becomes the universe in reality.
Thus, no matter how you perceive this card, you have before you a symbol of the ability to dominate and manipulate people, objects and events.

The first Arcana of the Tarot is the first step on the path to spiritual enlightenment and self-development.
And this is the point where too many people stop.
Since the Magician or Magician really rules over his own world and the world of others, it is tempting to think that you have reached the goal.

You start your journey with the will - with the decision to grow, with the hope of success.
From the position of the Magus, the question is whether to limit oneself to power over the vain world or move further along the path of spiritual growth?
From the point of view of the Magician, the question is different: how many objects will be able to juggle and for how long?

Value in the layout

Reversed or Negative: Cunning, lack of principles, fraud, deceit, cunning.

Will you develop this potential or exchange it for a demonstration of vain power?
The rest of the cards will tell you.

Reversed Mage

I wasn't even here."
Things don't go the way you planned.
Perhaps you are not in control of the situation, and it would be much better to refuse responsibility and just let it go.
It looks like you don't have the necessary skills or can't do everything on your own.

Consider if your focus is in the wrong direction.
Is your intention well formed or should it be reconsidered?
Inverted cards show the risk of underestimating or, conversely, overestimating one's capabilities, lack or excess of self-confidence.

Are you taking on too much?
Have you lost contact with the depths of your own soul?
Like a sorcerer's apprentice, you may have started something you can't finish.
Maybe you are not who you seem.

The Magician's ability to shape-shift can easily be used to deceive both himself and others.
Perhaps you have reached the point where you manipulate people and play on their self-confidence for the sake of achieving your own selfish goals.

Add to all this weakness of will or duplicity, and you can reap the harvest - you are guaranteed problems.
This is a card of Hermes, and reversed it represents a thief, a liar and a con man - even in small things.

Or maybe it's your grumpiness and irritability.
There is a danger of misusing personal power that has not yet matured, or becoming a gray cardinal who pulls the strings of puppets without appearing on stage.

Maybe you feel lonely and tired of responsibility and independence.
Maybe you lack the confidence to make friends.
All these are various manifestations of the fear of new beginnings, which blocks or gives the wrong direction of communication, as well as pessimism and cynicism.

When projecting the Magician onto other people, you begin to admire their brilliance, confidence and wit, but you involuntarily fear that they will not fool you.
Or do you see them as young, but early, who think they are professionals, think they know everything, and strive to get ahead and succeed at any cost.

On the inner plane, you are most likely working on self-development and cultivating your inner garden - that is, creating magic for yourself.
As for health, we can talk about some kind of mental, mental or nervous disease, the card can also be an indication of a doctor who works with such diseases.

In the shamanic and magical sense, we have before us a trickster magician, healer, healer, alchemist or herbalist, who in the modern world can play the role of a doctor, chiropractor, psychotherapist or psychic.
Magic, according to Dion Fortune, is "the art of changing consciousness at will", and, therefore, the Magician has the ability to change consciousness and see what is hidden under the cover of illusions.

Traditional inverted meanings: weakness of will.
Mental or nervous diseases.
Head trauma and mental illness.
Disgrace, dissatisfaction.
Indecision.
Doctor, mage

Larissa Moon. "All Secrets of the Tarot".

"I was on a high mountain and saw a Great Man and a small one beside him.
And he heard a thunderous voice and drew near to hear what was being said.
And he said: "I am you, and you are I, and where you are, there I am; and I am in everything and wherever you will, you gather Me, and by gathering Me, you gather yourself."

Eve's gospel

Description of the card and its inner meaning

Every evening, at sunset, he lays out the necessary attributes in front of him and begins to control reality and people who, perhaps, are unaware of his existence.
And for this man, a sorcerer and magician, nothing is impossible, he plays with other people's destinies as easily as he juggles with his magical things.

And although for the Magician it is not so much the result that is important, but the process of manipulation and power itself, his worldview and desires, dreams and dreams become a reality, which is why it is said: "The True Magician always stands in the center of the Universe, all objects of which are illuminated by his light" .

The first Arcana of the Tarot, from the point of view of the creation of the world, according to the way Kabbalah interprets this event, rises above all other Arcana, for it speaks of the First Cause of everything that exists on this earth.

In other words, it is the personification of God.
This card connects the Absolute and the Manifested World, it says that the emergence of our world is a consequence of the manifestation of God and is a part of the possibilities of the Universe.

Therefore, there are such concepts as Macrocosm and Microcosm, where a person is a Microcosm in a stream of the same small elements as he is, which make up the Macrocosm.
The Magus card recalls one of the occult laws - the Law of Balance, which says: "As above, so below."

And this means that the Microcosm and the Macrocosm are similar to each other.

Relationship of the card with other occult sciences

Particular attention is paid to the connection that exists between the cards and Kabbalah - a mystical Jewish teaching.
On this account, there is even a version that claims that the Tarot originates precisely in the mysteries of Kabbalah.

Therefore, the order of the Major Arcana is identified with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
One ancient manuscript tells about the so-called "keys of Solomon", where the secret of each of the letters is revealed.

The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet (alef) according to this document is translated as follows: "He, without dying, sees God face to face and easily talks with the seven geniuses who command all the heavenly host."
Aleph corresponds to the Magus card, and its translation proves once again that the first Arcana personifies the manifestation of God's Essence.

In addition to the keys of Solomon, there are also Kabbalistic keys expressed in poetic form, similar to ancient spells.
Aleph in this case means: "Everything proclaims an active, rational reason."

In addition to Kabbalah, the first Arcana (like all other cards) is associated with astrology, numerology, runes, and chakras.
In addition, each of the cards reflects a specific time of day, as well as weather conditions.

In view of the foregoing, the complete "decoding" of the first Arcana is as follows: (aleph) "Everything heralds an active, reasonable reason", Letter - A, number - 1, Ruled by the planet - Mercury, Correspondence according to the Book of Changes - 35 hexagram ("Sunrise") , Correspondence in runes - rune Ansuz (Ansuz), Time of day - any, Weather conditions - unexpected weather changes, Corresponding color - blue, Corresponding chakra - Vishuddha Jana (throat chakra), According to Kabbalah - connects the Bina sephirah with the Keter sephirah.

Card meaning

Direct position

This man is a good diplomat, interlocutor and, of course, a psychologist.
He can find an approach to anyone.
At the same time, he is well versed in the field of entrepreneurship and business, and in general in all matters related to finance.

If the Mage card describes the situation, then the Questioner can safely count on an atmosphere of trust, the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations.
In addition, the first Arcana in a direct position speaks of independence, self-control, success in business, learning abilities, creative self-expression of the individual, ingenuity and the ability to clearly and correctly express one's thoughts.

It also implies other positive qualities: initiative, intelligence, will, skill, dexterity, insight and independence.
Sometimes this card can warn of taking unnecessary risks.

Reversed position

His vocation is intrigue and scams.
He is ready for anything to achieve his goal and can become very dangerous for the Questioner.
This is a person who knows how to play on the weaknesses of others for the sake of his exorbitantly developed pride and ambitions.

If the card describes the situation, then it says that the ring of lies and deceit will close around the Questioner.
The first Arcana in an inverted position has other meanings: intrigue, lack of principles, anxiety, talkativeness, indecision, instability of position, weakness, unwillingness to learn, neglect of oneself, inability to use one's abilities, or, conversely, the desire to gain power over feelings and life other people.

In our case, if the Magician card describes the Questioner, then this means that he has power over the world around him. He is a free person and must independently make a decision regarding the situation in which he has fallen.

Indeed, in fact, the Magician is the likeness of God.
But if he develops his potential or exchanges it for the vanity of life, the rest of the cards in the layout will prompt.

Description

The magician is depicted standing: he is a fighter, not a dreamer, his feet are firmly planted on the ground.
He is ready to fight with gross matter and change it according to his own will.
He is dressed in green clothes - a symbol of youth and hope, his blue headdress - a symbol of readiness for perception.

He wears a golden belt in the form of a snake swallowing its own tail.
This "oroboro" is an alchemical symbol of the infinity of the world and knowledge.
He says that the young man has already passed the initiation and has knowledge and spiritual power.

In his right hand is a black magic staff, a sign of inner transformation and power.
The staff, as it were, links heaven and earth with each other and means that the will of the Magician should reflect the divine will on earth.

In his left hand, the Magician raises a parchment scroll as a sign of the desire for science, wisdom and power.
Directly in front of the Magician is a low table with three objects: a goblet, a sword and a pentacle.
Together with the staff in the hands of the Magician, they personify not only the suits of the Minor Arcana, but also the elements that the initiate rules over.

Cup - the suit of cups, the element of water - personifies the soul.
The sword is the suit of swords, the element air is a symbol of the mind.
The staff - the suit of wands, the element of fire - denotes action and will.
And finally, the golden hryvnia, which served the Egyptians as a coin, is the suit of pentacles; the element of earth shows the power of the Magician over matter.

The first Arcana of the Tarot is also the first step on the path of spiritual enlightenment and self-development.
The essence of the card is that the will and faith in oneself, guided by reason and soul, will lead to the intended goal.
If there is enough will to rule over yourself, then all the elements of your world will obey you.

This is a period when we face difficult problems, we must endure some kind of test, but complete clarity of consciousness and vitality help to successfully cope with them.
Although the card indicates a high potential of consciousness, this does not mean that the potential of intuition and other subconscious forces can be neglected at this time.

On the contrary: our readiness for action, for success, which the Magician points out, is based precisely on the harmony between consciousness and subconsciousness.
It is only through the self-confidence that results from this harmony that we can truly move mountains.

Tarot Rider White. Theory and practice. Series "Secrets of predictions". Publishers: AST, Astrel, 2002

Astrological meaning: Mercury The first card of the deck is the Magician (another name is the Magician, Wizard), it indicates that everything created is nothing but a dream, the existence of magically created divine elements, and life is a continuous gambling.

The apparent wonders of nature are simply the exploits of a cosmic magician, and a person is only like a ball in his hands, the magician waved his hand and look - the person has disappeared.
The world, looking at this action, does not understand that the disappeared thing is skillfully hidden by the conjurer in his hand.

The essence of the card is that the wise directs the phenomena of nature and can never be deceived.
The magician, the Wizard stands behind the table, on which several objects are laid out, among which stands out the bowl - the Holy Grail - the bowl put by Joseph in Benjamin's bag, the coin - tribute and payment of the Master Builder and the sword - belonging to Goliath, or the mystical point of the philosopher, separating truth from lies.

The Wizard's hat is in the form of a cosmic lemniscate, signifying the first movement of creation.
His right hand points to the earth, and his left hand holds a stick (rod) over the table, symbolizing his mastery in the sphere of the earthly universe.

The stick is Jacob's rod, as well as the stick that sprouted a sprout - the human spine crowned with the dome of the creative mind.
If the Jester, not realizing himself, is identified with the Creator, then the Magus card implies a clear vision of himself, and an extraordinary vision.

This is the first Tarot card by number: any path begins with self-awareness and self-determination.
On the Tarot card, the Magician is depicted with his right hand raised, holding a wand with equal ends.
This magical gesture, which allows consciousness to project itself into the world, symbolizes the principle: "as above, so below."

In front of the Magician on the cube are the attributes of the elements that he commands.
The symbols of the primary elements of the Elements in the Tarot are WANDS (fire), SWORDS (air), CUPS (water) and DISKS (earth).
Above the Magician's head is the sign of infinity - a snake biting its own tail.

It symbolizes the consciousness that controls the primary elements of the world.
The magician gives the possibility of the existence of the Universe, and the concept of "living nature" as building itself from the elements of consciousness correlates with this Arcana.

But there is an element of the game in consciousness, and this game (of consciousness) is conducted according to strict certain rules and settings set "from above", therefore, in the modern interpretation, we can see the Magician playing with the primary elements.

Manipulating with objects, consciousness is reflected in them and determines the inner "I" of a person; its true essence.
The magician loses the Jester's absolute free will, but adds to the will the knowledge that makes him a master of his craft.

The magician knows exactly and reliably what he is doing.
In the upright position, the Mage card means skill, dexterity and initiative.
The ability to conduct business, understand and "foresee" other people - all this is fully inherent in the person meant by this card.

Breakthrough, self-expression, the imposition of a unique imprint of one's individuality on everything that one's hands touch - this is the Magician.
"I want" is his motto.
This is a sage and a tyrant.
The magician is full of creative male power.

It can be associated with the Sun (at a lower level with Mars).
Another name for this Arcana is the Magician, and this is already a manifestation of Mercury.
Mercury in its high hypostasis is a symbol of Will, Knowledge and the Word-Logos that creates the worlds.

"Mercury," writes Crowley, "symbolizes action in all its forms and phases...
It represents an endless and continuous act of creation.
The magician can also mean initiation - a rite of passage for the uninitiated.

This is an unusually important threshold in the life of every person.
Will, skill, dexterity, eloquence, the desire to take risks, use one's strength - all this is Mag.
He knows how to conduct business and understand people, he is inventive, flexible, not without reason self-confident and witty, he can manipulate other people.

At the moment, you have achieved what you want within the limits that are within your control, then you need a "second wind" - a new recharge, both energetic and intellectual (feel free to study at any age and position), then you can reach new heights and manipulate those people who are not yet subject to you.

In an inverted position, the card can signal indecision and uncertainty, a dismissive and unjustified attitude towards oneself (as a person) and one's abilities.

The card can also mean abuse of power and monstrous selfishness.
But don't worry - you're still in control.
The Mage card is always positive.
"The magician announces to you that a strong will to win and faith in yourself, guided by reason and logic (the concept of justice is very relative), will lead you to your intended goal, and "your gods" will protect you from danger on your way.

Evgeny Kolesov. "ABC Tarot".

Magician, also Magician and Fraudster.
Astrologically: Mercury, the “mediator”, that is, the force that carries information from the source to the receiver, is the distance leading to the goal.

The magician is standing, dressed in a spacious dress, raising his hand up; in his hand is a magic wand (“magic wand”), a symbol of creativity and power.
On the other hand, the wand is also a symbol of the masculine principle.

Above the head is a “lying eight”, a symbol of infinity.
Two snakes, biting into each other's tail, form his belt.
They remind us that everything repeats itself in this world.
The magician is a person who feels the connection of times: he intuitively feels his unity with his father and a number of more distant ancestors.

The idea, the monad, personified by the Fool, will become embodied, aware of its own “I”. The white and red colors of the Magician's clothes symbolize the purity of thoughts and the depth of experiences.
Red roses and white lilies bloom at his feet.

In front of him are four objects representing the four suits of the Minor Arcana: a wand, a goblet, a sword and a denarius.
They symbolize the four elements: fire, water, air and earth, the four seasons or the four states of human consciousness - sleep, oblivion, wakefulness and transcendence.

In any case, this is a symbol of four or more possibilities, which so far are all open to the questioner.
He has a choice.
The journey begins.
Meaning of the card: You are a free, independent person and must make your own decisions.

And you will have to look for a way out of your current situation yourself.
You have enough strength to achieve what you want; you just have to decide to wish.
In a mixed scenario (Major and Minor Arcana together), the Magician's card can mean the need for a certain dexterity in solving the upcoming task or leading a more strict, moderate life.

In practice, the Magus, as the first card of the first septenary, always means the beginning of some new period of life, when nothing has been decided yet and no mistakes have been made.
Everything is in your hands, this card says, the main thing is to make the right decision, and then everything will go by itself.

At the ordinary level, the Magician can mean a call to active action, to seize the initiative, in the knowledge that nothing threatens us yet (competitors are far behind).
Sometimes it can mean the need for some kind of magical operation to ensure a smooth course of events.

Inverted: It may mean that the moment of choice has already been missed, that events have begun to unfold according to their own laws, so now all that remains is to wait for the result, or that someone is undertaking magical operations against you.

For businessmen: A good card that calls for active action and a firm defense of one's positions.

Ingenuity, intelligence, active life position. The stage when a certain test appears before us, and only thanks to the harmony between our consciousness and subconsciousness, thanks to readiness for action, self-confidence, we will be able to cope with this test.

This Arcana depicts a man who has raised his right hand, in which he compresses the rod of his power, his left hand is lowered down, and thus transfers the sacred energy to the lower worlds. Above his head is a symbol of infinity, which personifies the Holy Spirit, and on his altar are a bowl (Water), a pentacle (Earth), a wand (Fire) and a sword (Air), they are also symbols of the four elements of Creation. It is encircled by the serpent of eternity, which devours its own tail.

This card depicts an essentially perfect person - a magician, a person who knows how to feel the connection of times, standing and being above everything, called to true exaltation and improvement of his abilities. In the mythology of the Greeks, this man corresponds to Hermes, the patron of secret sciences and soothsayers. But the same Hermes was the deity of theft and cunning; they prayed to him when they conceived and started something illegal. And of course, he also served as a conductor of the souls of dead people to the kingdom of Hades. So in divination, this Arcana has a rather contradictory character.

VALUE IN THE SCHEDULE:

The magician is a symbol of self-awareness, individuality, self-confidence and one's abilities. Pulling out this card means that you harmoniously use your inner and outer world, you know how to resolve conflict situations and ascend to new heights.

PERSONAL SCHEDULING

In the personal scenario, "Magician" means independence, independence in judgments, in thoughts and actions, specificity in goals, certainty in worldview, the art of surprising, and sometimes even shocking those around you. Also, this card emphasizes that you are a decisive and persistent person, you can not only catch fire with a certain idea yourself, but also captivate others with you. And what others will seem unattainable, for you will be just another "peak" on your way. About people like you say - a born leader!

Positive qualities: initiative, skill, intelligence, understanding, independence, insight, intuition, willpower, self-control, independence, self-confidence.

An inverted position indicates an overestimation of one's intellectual abilities, excessive confidence in one's infallibility and correctness; or, on the contrary, indecision, hesitation, uncertainty, nervousness, weak will, self-justification.

Negative qualities: fraud, cunning, deceit, unscrupulousness. Characteristics: a liar, an intriguer, a swindler, a charlatan, a person who plays on the trust of others.

In amorous forecasts, the Magician speaks of his readiness for initiative in the intimate sphere.

When analyzing your state of mind, the fall of this card with the negative cards of the Minor Arcana speaks of excessively high self-esteem, self-deception regarding its uniqueness and exclusivity. Face the truth and do not overestimate yourself, but just love the way you really are.

LAYOUT FOR THE SITUATION

When divining for a certain situation, "Magician" means that you personally keep everything under control and it is up to you to decide when and how to change the situation.

However, if this Arcana falls upside down, or next to the negative cards of the Minor Arcana, then this card will personify all the negative qualities: boasting, vanity, selfishness, which will eventually lead to complete loneliness and rejection by society. This card also warns that the questioner himself can spoil the whole situation. In this case, the "Magician" says that you are so carried away by your own opinion that you have ceased to see and hear the people around you, in other words, you have become a tyrant! Stop! Look at yourself from the outside, and also look at the people around you! And most importantly, draw the right conclusions, because Tarot cards are not just another way to look into the future, with their help you can also find out what shortcomings you have!

If the "Magician" fell out next to the positive cards of the Minor Arcana, then you have enough strength and skills in order to start something new.

If you are in a depressed state, and the Mage card fell out in your layout, then it tells you that you can achieve improvements in your life only by active actions.

When dealt with health, this card can talk about a disease of the brain.

DIRECT POSITION

Skill, initiative, dexterity, will, eloquence, desire for risk, the ability to conduct business, understand and "foresee" - this is the main characteristic of a person - a Magician. Self-expression, breakthrough... everything this person touches has the imprint of his uniqueness. The motto of such a person: "I want"! This is a sage, but at the same time a tyrant, he is flexible, inventive, witty, self-confident, and very easily manipulates other people.

At the moment, you have already achieved everything you wanted within the limits that are subject to you, in order to move on, you will need both energy and intellectual replenishment. Regardless of your age and position, do not hesitate to learn and learn new things! And then you will be subject to new heights, which you now do not even dream of!

REVERSE POSITION

This Arcana, in principle, always has a positive meaning, first of all, he says that you control everything, and your future is in your hands! However, in an inverted form, it may indicate your insecurity and indecision, hesitation, unwillingness to learn, or neglect of your abilities or yourself as a person. Also, the Magician can be a signal of your monstrous selfishness, or indicate to you that you are abusing power!

This Arkan announces to you - there is no need to postpone an important matter for later, you can start it now, the main thing is to be guided by your mind and logic, and your faith in your own strength and desire for victory will lead you to such a desired goal, and "your gods" will protect you from danger on your way!

ADVICE

Mage is a kind of God! So believe in yourself, in your abilities, skills, that you can cope with the upcoming business. And the neighboring cards will tell you whether you can develop your potential, or exchange it for vanity...

WARNING

Do not overestimate yourself, and do not consider yourself above everyone else! Remember, results don't always justify action.

INTERNAL MEANING

The meaning of this Arcana is this: everything in this world is in front of God, like those objects that lie on the table in front of the Magician, and just as God plays with the elements of life, the Magician juggles these objects. And it is not the objects that are important, but the very ability to dominate and manipulate them.

The magician is the active male force of the creative impulse. It is the force that allows us to influence the world through the proper concentration of individual will and power.

The first Arcana is like our first step on the path to self-development and spiritual enlightenment. And this is the point at which, unfortunately, many people stop, because they believe that they have reached their goal.

As already mentioned, the Magician in astrology corresponds to the planet Mercury, which is responsible for rational consciousness and communications. The magician calls for individual perception of information, openness to new knowledge, learning and the formation of personal opinion.

Also, the Mage card may indicate the need for a certain dexterity in solving your problem, or that you should lead a more strict moderate life.

You must start your journey with the awareness of your will, the decision to develop, and the confidence in victory. The main question of the Magus is to limit yourself to the worldly power given to you or to develop further along the spiritual path?

MAP OF THE DAY

"It is you and no one else, and right now, and not once there"! - this is the slogan for you today.

You must take all the initiative, you have enough patience today, and common sense cannot be taken away from you, you clearly know what you want, so why hesitate?
