Now that we have looked at the general meaning of this card, let’s dive a little deeper to see what the card could mean when it appears in your reading! 

Health

Health-wise, the reversed card is mostly positive. You need to believe in your ability to heal, which will help you to manifest healing!

If you are suffering from mental health issues with paranoia, psychosis, or hallucinations, then you should seek professional help.

The sooner you seek this help too, the quicker you will get the treatment you need. 

Love And Relationships

The reversed card suggests that you need to be more honest and open with your partner about your desires and needs. Don’t let the temptation of manipulating or tricking your partner to get what you want to sway you.

Instead, honestly approach them and be clear about what you want.

The card also suggests a partner or lover might be trying to manipulate you for their own reasons, even if they appear trustworthy!

If you are single, the reversed Magician suggests you are becoming cynical about love and your love life. You might feel like you will never attract anyone good in your life.

Don’t let these thoughts in! Send positivity, love, and light out into the universe and you are sure to attract that back! 

Money And Career

The reversed Magician Tarot card suggests you aren’t using your abilities and skills to make the best of opportunities available to you. You might also be having feelings of self-doubt that are preventing you from making the most of these opportunities.

You might feel like you are not living to your full potential or are too afraid of the risks to try a new venture. 

The card also suggests there are deceitful people around you. If you are considering a new venture, but are unsure of who you can trust, it is wise to hold off. Take some time to learn more about these people or find new potential partners before you dive in. 

Financially, the card suggests you need a proactive approach to change any financial issues you might be facing.

Spirituality 

The reversed Magician card suggests your spiritual path is no longer suitable for you. It is time to explore a new path that is better suited to you!

You will also want to clear out old beliefs or practices that no longer serve you. 

There might also be a skill you have not had a chance to explore. The card is also a warning, reminding you to use your spiritual power for good only.

Final Thoughts
