Card Appearance: The Magician is a male figure who stands before a table or altar. Atop this table, he has many spiritual tools at his disposal. He holds a wand in his left hand. He is dressed in jester-like clothing and has an air of mystery and untapped power about him.

Love: The Magician could represent a special, young and energetic man in your life. He could be your newest innocent crush or he could represent a threat to your current relationship.

Stay positive and consult outside sources for more information before making any rash moves.

Finances: Use the unlimited energy of the Magician to tackle your financial life. Instead of vegging out on the couch, use your time wisely and create a budget and expense spreadsheet or list. Brainstorm about possible new ways to either save money, bring in income from a new untapped source or both. Be on the lookout for a new financial beginning. A positive financial opportunity may be heading your way. However, if the card is reversed be particularly hesitant about investing in a new venture.
