Upright, The Magician is a green light for action: skills, contacts, timing and desire align. What you start now tends to work, because you are working with the current instead of against it.

In Money & Career
In money and career, The Magician is the entrepreneur’s card — launch, pitch, negotiate. Your skill set is more complete than your doubt admits.
