The Magician Month

Air

This month your card is the Magician, and your energy is organizing. Whatever you've been circling with a plan that hasn't quite become a plan, this is the stretch where it can. The tools are on the table. The thing to watch: a Magician month can spend itself in preparation, always about to begin, and somehow the month passes before you do. You don't need better conditions. Begin with what's here and let one thing become real before the month turns.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Magician, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Magician card in Tarot represents focus, willpower, skill, and turning ideas into something real. He stands at a table with the four suits—cup, wand, sword, and pentacle—laid out in front of him. One hand holds a wand up toward the sky and the other points down at the ground. An infinity symbol floats over his head. This card is about using what you already have.
