Hurray! I got the magician today.
It 's a beautiful card. The flowers symbolizing passion and transformation grow all around him. The infinity sign of, well, infinite possibilities, sits like a halo over his head. He's holding aloft what looks like a candle burning at both ends. Hmmm. The transitory nature of life? Don't know, really, but that sounds good. He looks like he's ready to start getting things done.
His posture is a heaven and earth mudra, (as above, so below) and, on the table, at the ready, are the 4 powers of the 4 directions.
The West gives us the chalice: water, the symbol of emotions, which are our guidance system.
The North is the pentacle, earth, wisdom, and the ability to create in form what you dream will occur.
The East gives us the sword: symbol of air, diviner of the truth and the home of inspiration.
The wand is a gift from the south, symbol of fire, creativity, and the dreams that help us move forward.
So the magician's power is to use it all.
Here is the magic circle: Our dreams (the south) pass through the emotional nature (the west) to see if they "fit" us at this moment in time. If they do, we'll feel great and the north will actualize them. Then the east presents us with a new truth based that dream's fruition which in turn inspires the creation of a new and better dream (the south again).
The circle rolls on.
That stuck feeling occurs when you want something but don't think you can have it. The south dreams, but the emotional west says nope, not for us. I feel uncomfortable with that thought. The north, literal-minded as it is, says "you're right, so here's the same old dream you've been dreaming again. The Sword has a chance to break the cycle by saying "hey, I've got an fresh idea about this spot we're in!" The south dreams the new thought, but if you're not in line with it you'll reject it and, whoops, stuck again!
It's up to you to take the new inspirations you have in and make these your new idea for your fresh basis for reality. You have to let go of your old ways, and let the new you emerge! When you do, the dream of the south will be so much more powerful. The west will believe it can happen, and the north will make it happen.
The faster you're able to ride this circle, the faster you're life will change.
And, since as above, so below, the more the world you see will change in response to the changes you create in YOU!
You see what I mean? This is a great card!
Live your dreams!
Love,
Kristine
