Waterlilly | The Magician is the second card in the major arcana. It is represented by the number 1. The Magician is the master of his own destiny. He is at one with himself and all creation. He symbolizes new beginnings and the ability to take the initiative of any project. He also signifies creative work and training focus on a goal. The Fool represents the leap into action and the Magician represents the actual start. We will interpret the meanings of the Magician relating to different situations at as we go along.

Randall | With 1 as its number, would this be a very individualistic card? ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark |
Waterlilly | The Magician is represented by the number 1 which represents uniqueness, individuality and innovation. The Magician encourages us to take action and to sieze every opportunity that comes our way. ------------------ quote: Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

SaggiMC | the magician is ruled by mercury in astrology and therefore it's more to do with communications. someone sweet talke, very friendly amicable and may have a 'touch' of magic about them... in the obstacle position in Celtic cross (2nd card) communications are a problem or someone is literally just telling you what you want to hear. Watch out for trickery slight of hand or someone pulling the wool over your eyes.. as an outcome card (10th) magician suggests planning, movements communications. Creating someone via communications but not yet ready to move forward. ------------------ In Astrology 2.0 forum, beginners learning astrology http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/212463.html in Astrology 2.0 forum, What’s next for learning (intermediate) http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/212464.html In Astrology 2.0 what’s next for learning (advanced) http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/212465.html I love the parable, “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, BUT if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for life.” |
