The Magician Tarot Card

The Magician tarot card shows a male figure in a white tunic and red robe staring down at a table with the symbols each of the four suits on it; cups, wands, swords, and pentacles. In his right hand he holds aloft a wand, or baton, stretched as high as his arm can reach. Above his head floats an infinity symbol and the top and bottom of the card are decorated with many flowering vines and lilies.

The Reversed Magician Tarot Card From The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

The Magician Tarot Card Meanings Reversed- Stalled potential, trouble manifesting, a disconnect from your abilities, and slow energy.

When The Magician tarot card is reversed it means things have gotten out of your control. You have difficulty manifesting and you’re missing new opportunities. The energy around you has slowed down significantly. When this card comes out pay attention to your potential. Has anything changed in your environment that is pushing you off track? Is there anything you’ve lost from your daily routine that is affecting your health? Examine what may be hindering you because this reversed card is telling you to stop and pay attention.

Love and Relationships- In a relationship reading The Magician reversed means communication is not good. It’s a sign to step back and consider why things have taken a turn. Generally it stems from life being busy and we get into our habits and over time stop really listening to our nearest and dearest. Slow down and listen to each other in order to right the ship.

Money and Career- Upright, money is coming to you whether you like it or not. Reversed however, money doesn’t have a clear path to get to you. Look at the other cards surrounding this card in your reading to find the symptom for your financial issues.

Health and Wellness- Unfortunately, The Magician tarot card reversed in a health reading shows that some things are out of your hands. In this case, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional. This can also mean that you have not been taking the most care you can with mental health. Your mental health is just as important as your bodily health. If your question is along those lines you need to seek outside help rather than looking inward because this is a problem that requires professional help.

Spirituality- Drawing a reverse on any spiritual question means that you have a disconnect from yourself. Your inner voice is screaming at you to listen, but for some reason you aren't hearing it. Slow your roll and focus on being fully immersed in your meditation so that your voice can reach with you. Active rest is best in this case. We hear ourselves much better when we make the active decision to listen to our inner selves.
