Start to plan your progress and if it is right for you, you will see everything falling into their places as a puzzle.
The Magician is considered a lucky card, however, it can also be a sign that people which involved to your plans could be tricky and warns you about being more careful.
REVERSED
Manipulation, poor planning, untapped talents
Reversed Magician shows that you are uncertain about how to manifest your wishes and not taking the action yet. You are not sure if you have anything to take a step forward or you may be unsure how to make it happen. You have to stay tuned with your goal and follow the arising opportunities. Or perhaps you are not clear about your approach and your end goal is out of alignment with your Highest Good and the Universe is sending you a “Stop!” sign.
Magician at reversed is not a true magic master anymore, it turns to illusionist. His magic is deception and trickery. You may be amazed from his show, but he could have a intention of selfish gain. You may be ask yourself whether you perform your acts for Highest good or just for your own benefit.
Getting this card in relationship reading might mean there is someone pretends to have your best interest, however the opposite is true.
The Emperor
Upright
Authority, establishment, structure, a father figure
The Emperor is the father figure of the Tarot deck, suggests that you are adopting this protective role (regardless of whether you are male or female), affording for your family, and protecting your loved ones.
Similarly, the Emperor represents a strong and charismatic leader. Status and power are necessary to you, and you are most comfortable in a leadership role where you can direct others. You have a clear vision of what you want to manifest, and you arrange those around you to manifest your goal. You listen to the advice of others, but you prefer to make the final decision.
The Emperor reflects a system defined by rules and regulations. You create law and order by applying policies or guidelines to a specific situation. Be strategic and highly organized in your approach by sticking to your plan until the end.
The Emperor card also implies world knowledge and expertise. You have gained valuable wisdom and living experience, and now you enjoy offering guidance to someone who might benefit from it. You may be a teacher, coach, boss, or just a good friend who likes to take the knowledge and pass it on so that others can be as wise and powerful as you.
Reversed
Domination, excessive control, lack of discipline, inflexibility
The reversed Emperor requests you to assess your relationships with responsibility and discipline. Are you expressing too much or too little of these in your life right now? Are they serving for you or against you?
In the reversed position, the Emperor can be bossy and inflexible in his thoughts. The card can suggest an over-use of authoritative power. It could be you or another person, often a boss, partner or family member. And it may be because of deep insecurities and self-doubts.
Recognize the position of power in your life. Are you declaring your power and dominance in a way that leaves others feeling weak? Or are you giving away much of your personal power to please others? Try to find a solution where you start from a place of personal power and enable others to do the same. Power can be equally distributed – you don’t need to take it from others, nor do you need to give yours away.
Sometimes, the reversed Emperor asks you to stand up to authority. You may feel fed up with an oppressive boss or a hierarchical organization and feel forced to enter a more flexible and adaptive environment. Maybe you aspire to be your own boss and work independently by starting up your own business.
In a love reading, the reversed Emperor hints that you may be in an unbalanced relationship and it‘s making you unhappy. Your partner has become overbearing, possessive and dominating. This dynamic is putting tension on the relationship and blocking the flow of energies between you.
