Meaning of the Tarot Card The Magician

Quick Tarot Guide



1 The Magician

The second card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot is The Magician. The Magician is truly master of his own destiny.

This card is the only card in the whole Tarot deck which has all four of the minor suits - cups, wands, swords and pentacles - showing in it, they are arranged in altar fashion on the table in front of him. This shows he is in command of the elements and therefore of the world around him.

The challenge of the Magician though, is to be as masterful over the elements within himself as he is the world around him.
