Upright position meaning

The Magician, when upright, is a symbol of new beginnings and opportunities. He puts his thoughts into action! He is the first card in the Major Arcana and this means that he takes potential opportunities and turns them into actuality.

If you pull this card upright, it's time to tap into your full potential without any hesitation. The Magician takes the Fool's opportunistic chance and turns it into something real! It's time to go after what you've been dreaming about!

Reversed position meaning

Pulling the Magician reversed may mean that someone you know is pretending to have your best interests at heart when really, they want to manipulate you with their showmanship.

A reversed Magician card may also mean you've become obsessed with power and reckless decisions. When he is reversed, the Magician is a master of illusion, disguise, and trickery. Be careful out there!

Advice meaning

The Magician is telling you to tap into your true talents and make your potential opportunities a reality! Use hard work, manifestation, and your full potential to make your dreams something real!
