This emotion has a power to it, a genuine and true power that may flow through you and make you feel invigorated and alive.
Everything Begins in the Mind
We frequently dread labor in our contemporary culture since it is linked with stress, uncertainty, and fatigue. The Magician is telling you that the job ahead of you doesn't have to be difficult. Work may be as fluid and powerful as, well, magic. We also have a tendency to live in the dark: many of our days pass us by undetected, and we go to bed wondering what we accomplished that day. The Magician urges you to be aware of the job that has to be completed. If you haven't made the necessary preparations for your job, the Magician is implying that you must meticulously lay out all of your plans before proceeding.
It's time to ask yourself some questions when you encounter the Magician in your readings. What are you working on at the moment? What tools do you use? Are they put together? Do you have a sense of balance? Goal-driven? Are you sure you understand what you're getting yourself into? Is it possible for you to allow yourself to feel powerful and strong, or are such emotions something you'd rather avoid?
What The Magician Means for You Today
The Magician has appeared today to remind you that not all is as it seems. While we tend to think of life as a random and mechanical process, the magician knows that all of nature is intelligent. Magic is about more than casting spells to make life easier, it is a way to connect with the fundamental aspects of our being and remember our position as a part of nature ourselves. A true magician trusts in the will of the universe and works along with the flow of events, rather than against them. Today, ask yourself 'Where am I trying to force things in my life?' or 'where am I lacking faith that the universe is on my side'? It is time to tap into your true source of power act with the full force of the universe pushing you from behind.
