1. The Magician - As Above So Below

Amazing week we just survived friends. Lots of unexpected things happened in my life, as is fitting for the week we studied The Fool, the card representing sudden change. On the national scene it was reassuring we did not "go over the edge" as The Fool appeared about to do, and after many days of brinkmanship congress reached an agreement and the country did not default on it's loans. This non-event has inspired me to more fully appreciate that in a reading although The Fool looks like he is about to fail, somehow he will land on his feet. I think of the expression, "Everything works out okay in the end - if it's not okay, it's not the end!"

 

This week we will study The Magician. Each card tends to mean something completely opposite from the card before. Thus, while The Fool beats all the odds and gets by on luck, The Magician represents our ability to consciously create our circumstances. When you look at his picture you notice that while The Fool had no idea where he was looking or which direction his feet were heading, The Magician is very deliberately pointing one hand to heaven and the other hand to earth. The message is "As above - so below," meaning that what we focus our thoughts on in our mind, we will see manifesting in the world around us - a totally different approach from that of the "Oh, whatever..." Fool!

 

The Magician is associated with the planet Mercury, ruler of ideas and thinking. He is considered to be the most powerful card in the whole deck, second only to The Fool (second because nothing beats Dumb Luck! )  meaning that when the Magician shows up in a reading the issue under consideration will be determined by the person's ability to visualize what they would like to see.

 

On the national scene we have an example of The Magician in the recent down grading of our triple A credit rating. The credit rating is only words, but the idea rocked the stock market.

 

To better experience how Magician energy works, make a point this week of keeping track of your intentions. Make a list before you go to the store. You may be very pleasantly surprised when you get there to find everything in your size and in your price range! Then develop your manifesting skills even further and buy something for a friend. Visualize how happy the friend will be to receive your gift. You will probably find It's easier to imagine making someone else happy than it is to know what we want for ourselves so this is a fun and simple assignment. Now notice what happens when you actually give your friend the gift- I bet you'll find they are even more pleased than you imagined. Visualizing events before they happen seems to bring in more perfection than you could have even thought to ask for. In fact your friend may tell you, "This is just what I've been wanting! How did you know? Where did you find it?" As a true Magician never reveals his secrets, just say you had an idea and created it out of thin air - which is exactly what you did!

 

Mercury, The Magician's planet is retrograde this month. Mixed messages, confused records and just poor communication in general are expected when Mercury is looking backwards. I wonder if our studying The Magician this week will help mitigate some of this negativity? Bring him out and put him some place where you'll see him often. Let me know if you find thinking about The Magician helps you focus. At the very least he should make you more aware of your words and how powerful they are.

 

Abracadabra!
