The Magician stands before a table bearing the four suit symbols. One hand points to the sky, the other to the earth — as above, so below.

Upright Meaning

Willpower, desire, being resourceful, skill, ability to concentrate, turning ideas into action.

Reversed Meaning

Trickery, illusions, deception, manipulation, lack of focus, untapped talents.

The four elemental tools on the table signal mastery of all realms. The lemniscate above his head is the seal of infinite will. One hand raised, one lowered — the bridge between heaven and earth is the magician himself.
