The Magician

The Magician tarot card
1The snake around his waist: the ouroboros, and it is why I read this as a card about reinventing yourself.
2All four suits laid out in front of him: there is probably an easier tool for the job you are doing.
3The garden in front of him: he manifests best when he is focused on what makes him feel good.
4One hand up and one hand down: as above, so below, and he is pointing at where he wants it to show up.
The Reinvention CardYou don’t get the thing by asking for it. You get it by becoming the person who already has it.
  • Manifestation through reinvention
  • The right tool for the job
  • Becoming the person who has it
In a reading

Whatever you want, the move is to become the kind of person who already has it. Also look at the card he is pointing to, because I always pull that one and read it as what he is aiming at.

Deeper meaning

Manifesting is an identity change, not a wish

To manifest, we have to reinvent ourselves. That is the whole card. You don’t get what you want by asking for it, you get it by turning into the person who has it, and the snake around his waist is there to tell you that reinventing yourself is allowed. When people ask me what that actually looks like day to day, I don’t get mystical about it. I would look at your habits. The other thing to notice is everything laid out on that table. He has all four suits in front of him, so if something in your life feels heavy right now, there is probably an easier way to carry it and a tool you aren’t using yet.

In the good stuff

The reinvention is already working. Keep going with whoever you’ve started becoming.
