The Magician is a powerful sign of The Fool’s higher aspects of his/her journey as a reminder that all is within your grasp, if only you set your mind to it and try.  Have you noticed a lot of synchronicities occurring around you now?  Kā mea nāna ī hana … you create all that your heart looks-to.  At work, new opportunities for better work opportunities are on the rise in the form of a new position.  Your creativity and suggestions are being met with excellent comprehension and this vibe leads to bigger and better work opportunities.  New love interests are also surfacing so get out there and meet people.  If you’re in a long-term relationship, you and your partner are bonding more closely on a deeper, spiritual level.  Money is on an upswing and this trend coincides with what is happening at work.  Even if things don’t feel like they’re opening up at work, there are now opportunities to do side jobs that bring in more income.  The Magician also signifies strength in the body, so if your health has taken a dip, know that you are snapping out of it soon … particularly if you’ve decided to pursue an alternative form of therapy.  And, speaking of alternatives, your research into more spiritual matters is paying off in revealing new levels of knowledge and understanding … a most satisfying time to enjoy this expansion of your spirit now.

Look for inspiration everywhere today!  Be ready to write down notes so you don’t forget the ideas that pop into your head.  Even if something seems “impossible” or “way too big,” write it down.  You never know!  Look for a new opportunity.  The Ace of Wands is a seed to be nurtured.  This is a new bright idea, a burst of creative energy, a source of inspiration.  Excitement, enthusiasm and energy for something new are available.  Now is your chance to be courageous.  This is also about creating a new life, conception or birth, metaphorically and literally.  Look for opportunities to be creative and express your enthusiasm … but for these energies to work, you must act by reaching and grasping for them in order for these new opportunities to come to fruition.

Today is a day of dreaming of possibilities and choices.  Imagine if there were no limitations to stop you.  Dream big!  There’s no need to be realistic or practical.  Exercise your imagination.  Every amazing thing you’ve created began as a dream.  You have so many choices available to you that indecision will prevent you from choosing anything.  It could also mean that you have your head in the clouds.  Dreaming of all that could be is keeping you from focusing on the here and now and making any progress.  If you have a lot of structure and stagnation in your life, this sign indicates the need to shake things up in order to recognize alternative paths you could take.  This sign also represents altered states of consciousness, dreaming and visualization.  It is good to dream and experiment, but beware of your experiments and fantasies standing in the way of healthy development.

You are putting off making a decision for now.  You may be feeling ambivalence or uncertainty.  You may not want to offend or hurt someone involved.  You may need to withdraw in order to contemplate your options.  So, do think before you communicate today.  It’s likely that you’ll decide to say nothing at all, or hold off on making a decision until another day.  That’s actually a good thing.  Give yourself the space and time you need to think things through clearly.  Perhaps more research on the subject matter is required before you can make an informed decision.  You may be denying the truth, or compartmentalizing some aspect of your life in order to not have to deal with it.  While it may be true that ignorance is bliss, ignorance or denial can also cause you to remain stuck in circular thinking and emotional patterns.  If so, then researching your options at this juncture works out all the better as it carries you further towards making a rational decision.

Today is a day to nourish and nurture your Self.  Spending time in or near water will be especially soothing, so go to the beach or have a long bath … solitude is required to restore your self.  By caring for yourself now, you will build the strength to be there for others when they need you.  Don’t underestimate the importance of self-care.  Be that loving mother to yourself.
