Tarot and Astrology Life Solutions

I have been missing Dragonfly lately and I wanted to feel his presence again. For those who do not know who Dragonfly is, lets just say he is the Magician in the tarot major arcana.

We are in the year of the Magician ( 2017= 2+0+1+7=10=1+0=1) so we should see his presence everywhere this year. But why am I saying he?

Traditionally the most a woman can aspire to become was the High Priestess - wisdom and secret knowledge. However, Mary K Greer describes the Magician as the card of "me, myself, and I". Moreover, in the Antiquarian Tarot by Maree Bento the Magician is a woman.


So, if the Magician is "me, myself and I",  the Magician can also be a woman and we are in the Year of the Magician, it means: I can be the Magician. When I say this I am referring to all the women who always longed for a Magician in their lives without realizing they can be one themselves.

Why I wanted to be the Magician? The Magician using his/ her mind and skills can achieve anything they want. It is common knowledge the Magician has all the tools on the table: the cup-Water, the wand- Fire, the sword- Air, and the pentacle- Earth , combined with his/ her mind - Spirit. The Magician has the power of all the elements and the knowledge to use them.

For example: The Magician uses:  Water- their feelings/, Air- to create and communicate ideas, Fire- to take action on a new project, Earth- that they put on paper.

The best way to reach out to the Magician is to become the Magician.

Dragonfly- sending you my love and we can meet in dreams and via Magician elements that I can now make use of.

Today I will continue the Major Arcana Series with the Magician card.







In the image above I collected the Magician card from 4 different decks, as follows: #1The Tarot of Jane Austen,#2 the Tarot of the Celtic Faeries, #3The Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot and #4 the Dark Grimoire Tarot.
The interpreations are as different as the images in the cards are, in order to give you a more diversified meaning of the Magician card.

The Magician is one of the most controversial cards in the tarot deck, I think. He is a trickster, and someone you cannot trust yet charming and with magical powers.
In the Jane Austen Tarot the Magician is represented by Mr. Henry Crawford of Mansfield Park. He is an enchanter and seduces Maria Bertram even though she is married. He convinces her to trust him, despite her married status and he leaves her when he loses interest in her, ruining Maria's life and reputation. Maria is convinced the entire time that Mr. Crawford is in love with her and she faces the truth only when she leaves her. In the end, Maria is sent away to another country. Despite the difference in time, just like Maria I fell for a Mr. Henry Crawford type and he too ruined my life destroying my marriage. Moreover, just like Maria I ended sent out to a different county. It is amazing how my story in our days is the same story that happened so long ago, in Jane Austen time.
Now going back to the Magician card he has many gifts and  all the tools in front of him: the candle- fire, the book-air, the rose-earth and the pitcher of water- water, giving him great power. Mr. Crawford/ the Magician is all about acting, acting in a play or in real life. He says:" I feel as if I could  be anything or everything; as if I could rant and storm or sigh or cut capers, in any tragedy or comedy in the English language".

The Magician in the second deck, the Tarot of the Celtic Fairies is represented by a leprechaun, a male fairy. Leprechauns have magical powers, they show themselves to humans only when they wish to be seen, and if caught they can grant 3 wishes to be let free. Any information they provide is to trick you, to turn you away from the truth, so you should take everything they say with care/ caution. The leprechaun generally has 2 bags of coins, one of gold and another of silver meaning the Magician has all the resources he needs to attain his goal. However, the real treasure is the bag of tools we see in the Magician card of this deck.

The Magician in the Nicoletta Ceccoli deck, the 3rd deck. In this deck the Magician is you, and the card advice is to concentrate on your own powers, to do your magic and to use your own will to change your life.

In the last deck the Magician represents the poet Abdul Alhazred who wrote the Necronomicon, who is said to represent the "key to the underworld". Here the Magician has secret knowledge and has experience with the world of demons.

Every deck has a story for every tarot card and it is so much joy to discover their different meanings.
