The Magician: The Magician Yes or No (Upright and Reversed)

The Magician: The Magician Yes or No

If you have taken the upright The Magician tarot card in a one-card draw for a yes or no question, it is often seen as a yes.

The Magician represents manifesting new possibilities. Coming right after The Fool who has just decided to embark on a new journey, The Magician is the card of decisiveness. Simply put, you are what your thoughts are.

Whether you are looking to commence a new work project, work on a startup or begin a new relationship, The Magician brings the element of possibility. It is possible for you to achieve something if you set your mind and resources to it.

Should you pick The Magician in a one-card yes or no draw, this article will help you have a clearer understanding on what The Magician in a yes or no draw represents.

The Magician: The Magician Yes or No in Love (Upright and Reversed)

The Magician Yes or No in Love (Upright)

The Magician in a love reading has a mixed bag of meanings.

While The Fool feels like the beginnings of a new relationship with little thought on commitment, The Magician is ready to make promises – with a caveat.

The Magician, in traditional tarot representations, is a great communicator. They are able to sway opinion and perception. This makes them excellent salesmen and glib lovers.

Promises that are made, are made logically and with intention – whether they may be good or bad. As a solo card, there seems to be an allusion to a more transactional exchange: I will give you something if you can help me achieve something.

In the context of a marriage, Person A might be marrying Person B because Person B is able to give them security and stability. The thought process behind this is simple: I will marry you because you have what I want.

While this might seem like a reasonable prerequisite, it is less so when the intention is: I will agree to your requests as long as I get to my end goal.

To determine whether The Magician is appearing as a manipulator or a determined character with the willpower to bring the relationship to the next level, it is necessary to rely on your intuition and the energy of the reading. If in doubt, do a 3-card yes no reading instead of a single-card draw.

To help guide you through the process, here are some questions that might show the Magician in a positive light:

• Is the person agreeable to testing out our relationship first?
• Is the person ready to take our relationship to the next stage?
• Does the person have positive feelings for me?

Questions in love that might indicate a maybe instead of a yes are:

• Does the person have strong feelings for me?
• Is the person as faithful as he or she or they say they are?
• Will the person keep their promises?

Other questions that I usually see as a no, or draw another card with the same question are:

• Does the person have good intentions in staying in this relationship with me?
• Is the person reconciling with me because they love me?
• Will the person continue a relationship with me if I leave for another country?

The Magician Yes or No in Love (Reversed)

If you have received The Magician (reversed) in a yes or no love reading, there might be a blockage in communications from one or both parties.

While The Magician is capable of making things go his way, in its reversal, it can indicate the unwillingness to spend resources or even headspace to think or bring a solution to the table.

The Magician: The Magician Yes or No in Career (Upright and Reversed)

The Magician Yes or No in Career (Upright)

The Magician in career readings can be an exciting card to receive. Possibilities open up when you set your mind and resources to it.

For a start up founder, it can be about connecting with other like-minded investors who value your product or service. For an employee, it can be about fast-tracking their promotion by a company who values their dedication. As long as effort is being placed, there is the possibility of attaining your goals.

The Fool signals the beginnings of a new project or job, while The Magician takes it one step further with possible action. There is an exchange of ideas, thoughts and communication. Whether you are in the early-stages of your career ladder, or embarking on a career change, The Magician is clear: You will achieve what you set your mind to.

Questions that might indicate a yes include:

• Should I change my career path to something that I have little to no experience in?
• Will I be able to do well in my new company?
• Will I be able to find a new job in this trying economy?
• Will I be able to find success if I accept the job promotion at my company?
• Will I be able to cope with an additional job?
• Will my startup be able to achieve the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) set by our investors?
• Will I get the job for the highly competitive role that I applied for?
• Should I communicate to my supervisors about my need for additional resources for the project?

The Magician Yes or No in Career (Reversed)

The Magician in its reversed position in a work or career context can represent a blockage in ideas, a lack of willpower or the unwillingness to bring things to fruition.

Have you ever experienced moments of brain fogginess at work or a lack of motivation to head to work? Do you feel as if you are being blocked from achieving your full potential? That is The Magician in reverse.

The Magician: The Magician Yes or No in Finances (Upright and Reversed)

The Magician in Finances (Upright)

The Magician in readings about your finances can mean the inclusion of new income streams or new opportunities that bring about an increase in revenue – only if you put the necessary resources into it.

Resources can refer to time, labour, thought process or additional finances.

Here are some finance-related questions that I would typically see as a yes:

• Will I see an increase in revenue if I continue working on my project?
• Will my financial situation improve in the next few months?
• Will my startup financial situation improve if I focus on my startup entirely?

Questions that might point towards a no are:

• Can I leave the management of my company to another person?
• Is it worth it to invest further in the company?
• Will my connections help me get into the company?

The Magician in Finances (Reversed)

The Magician reversed in a financial tarot reading warns at making financial decisions without logic and intention.

An example of making impulsive financial decisions are splashing out on a new house even before a job promotion has been confirmed. With confidence, you then convince your parents or partner to act as a bank loan guarantor to secure the housing loan, only to realise that you have not been given a job promotion.

The Magician in its reversed position can also refer to the lack of motivation or accountability at work which can affect your chances at promotion or receiving a bonus.

Conclusion

The Magician (upright) can be a welcome sign for folks who have put in the time and resources to manifest their ideas, projects or goals.

The Magician highlights the possibilities of success when logic and resources are allocated. If you set your mind to it, you will achieve.
