For this luck reading, you drew The Magician in reverse.
At his best, the Magician is a charismatic charmer who can bring joy to those around him. He has all the tools at his disposal to make his dreams a reality. His manifestation powers have escalated so much that he can get anything he wants with little to do. We should all aspire to be like the Magician, while veering towards caution because with great power comes great responsibility.
At his worst, the Magician is still a master, but a master manipulator. He can lie, cheat, and steal his way to the top because he knows it will still work for him. He doesn’t care who he pushes down along the way, even if that person is supposed to be a close confidant. The Magician reversed represents the worst qualities the Magician has to offer, and you should be weary in his presence.
Unfortunately, the Magician reversed tends to bring about bad luck. He’s selfish, manipulative, and lying! You wouldn’t want him in your inner circle. You do have the power to get past his tricks, but not without at least some difficulty along the way.
Avoid Getting Burned This Time
The Magician in reverse gets what he wants no matter what, even if he has to hurt someone he cares about to get there. He will burn every bridge he’s ever built if it stands in the way of his desires, even if the bridge once supported his desires.
You may find out that lies are getting exposed. Someone could be slandering your name and reputation to get something you have. Don’t let them win! Those who truly care about you will see through the deceit and trickery.
In the moment, though, it can be daunting to escape the spells cast by the Magician reversed. It’s extra sour when the bad luck you’re facing is caused by someone you consider to be a confidant. The Magician’s tricks are only temporary, whether upright or reversed.
Take off any rose-colored glasses at this time, as they may be causing you to get down on your luck. Take inventory of everyone around you. Has anyone been acting particularly shady lately?
The Magician is often hiding in plain sight, especially reversed! It’s almost like he wants to get caught for the thrill of it all. Don’t fall for his antics!
And most of all, remember that this too shall pass.
