Career, Work Or Retirement:

There will be an improvement in your work/career life. Particularly if your work is in a creative field this is a time when your suggestions and work will be met with appreciation and may lead to bigger and better things. Bigger and better things are definitely a possibility. A promotion may be on the horizon but even if it isn’t a pay rise might be. Whichever is the case this is a time to sound your own trumpet and ask. As the saying goes… ‘If you don’t ask you don’t get!’ If you are out of work or thinking about changing jobs this is an auspicious time to do so. Even if you think you’ve exhausted all the possibilities you haven’t so if necessary go back and repeat all the steps you have already taken and try again.

Card Meanings: Willpower, Creativity, Intellect, Self-Confidence, Influence, Sleight Of Hand, Power, Logic, Resourcefulness, Ability, Skill, Will-Power, Dexterity

The Magician is about making higher and better use of all of one’s power. Spiritual, emotional, and otherwise. This is another card that often signifies new beginnings and great expectations. This is a very powerful, positive omen in a reading. This card reminds us that we have the power to make a difference, in our lives and in the greater world, if we simply make a point to try. You should note that this is not magic in the sense that you need to do spell-work or anything of that nature. It’s also not ‘magic’ like a stage illusionist performs, which is the somewhat superficial appearance of wondrous feats. This is actual transformation of the literal and figurative world in normal ways. You are not going to have it all handed to you on a plate, but you have the potential to have that plate and a lot of what’s on it if you do the magic yourself. The Magician is all about action. If you do nothing you’ll get nothing. If you don’t know what to do then just do something because anything is better than nothing. In other words if you don’t try you won’t get.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: One day in a classroom discussion I mentioned that I was impressed by something I had read about astrology. The nun’s ears perked up, and a look of alarm spread across her face. Hadn’t the good sisters warned us that true prophecy comes from God and any other form of future casting is the work of the devil? Whatever is forbidden, however, becomes more appealing. It wasn’t long before I began to study astrology in earnest.

Complete Book of Tarot: Trump 2: The Female Pope (High Priestess) is one step above the street magician but still a trickster. Modeled after the legendary Pope Joan, this brilliant woman disguised herself as a man so she could assume the papacy. In patriarchal Europe, God was unequivocally of masculine gender and His spokesperson on Earth could never legitimately be a lowly female. Sadly, Pope Joan came to a bitter end. After being outed as a woman, a pious Christian mob bound her feet to a horse’s tail and dragged her through the streets of Rome, stoning her to death along the way. How dare a woman trick the populace by pretending to be the Holy Father!
