Card of the Week: July 31 – Aug 6, 2017
The Magician
As Uranus officially turns retrograde in Aries this week, you may see many ideas presenting themselves in a whole new light, along with the means to accomplish them.
The Magician card reminds you that you have everything you need at your disposal. If you have been having a hard time putting your skills to the test at work or with something you are wishing to build this is the time you find that everything falls into place for you.
You have the energy, drive and ambition to reach your goals all you need is to take that first step to launch in the direction you wish to find yourself. By being practical and following your heart you can shed that which is not working for you and take on a whole new persona in relation to your work.
The colors on this card — from the Golden Tarot of Klimt — give an idea as to the attributes which surround you. The brown background keeps you stable and practical, while the red on the dress shows determination and action and the yellows represent the ideas that you have.
Notice the snake curling around the right arm as if something is consciously being shed and changed in order to tune into what you wish to accomplish.
This is in keeping with Uranus’s retrograde motion, which implores you to retrace some of your earlier steps. Even the snake’s head dips into a bowl held in the left hand (representing intuition and ideas).
The Magician card encourages you to use your head to access your own brilliance and originality (Uranus retrograde) without sacrificing your heart. The images in this card reminds you to make the most of both.
This week’s card — The Magician — is from of the Golden Tarot of Klimt.
