The Magician

Skill, diplomacy and will are the useful words here. The figure stands at a table with a cup, sword, wand and coin laid out, one arm raised and one pointing down. Everything needed is on the table.

For a pitch or a hard conversation, count what you already have: experience, contacts, the right words. Then use them on purpose. Waite also lists sickness and loss among the meanings. This card is no forecast of either, so take any health worry to a doctor.

The reversed list mentions a physician, mental disease and disgrace. None of that is a forecast. If your health or state of mind worries you, see a qualified professional.

As a reading, the tools sit unused or get used for show. In a job or a deal, check whether you are relying on charm where the work should be. Say what you can deliver and leave out the rest.
