1. The Magician
The magician is the first trump or Major Arcana in most traditional Tarot decks. It symbolizes transformation, new beginnings, and opportunities.
The image of the magician shows a man pointing one hand upwards and the other downwards. This position signifies his link between the material realms and spiritual realms. Using his relationship, he creates and evinces his goals physically.
The infinity symbol above the magician’s head also signifies the limitless power and influence the magician wields.
Although a lot of tarot lovers are quick to identify with this figure, you should note that the magician could also denote wasted talent.
Drawing up the magician during your tarot reading session could hold diverse interpretations.
First off, drawing the magician in an upright position could indicate new opportunities in your career or finances that you need to act on immediately.
It could also indicate love interests or new relationships that could shape your life and future.
On the other hand, drawing the magician in a reversed position could mean you need to let go of such opportunities or tread with caution.
2. The High Priestess
The second trump or Major Arcana in most Tarot cards symbolizes the gateway to deep mysteries. As she takes her place between the two pillars, she portrays the figure of a mediator between diverse realms.
The high priestess’ appearance during your tarot reading could mean you should trust your instincts rather than your intellect. This way, the high priestess encourages you to make up your mind on lingering decisions.
As a keeper of mysteries, drawing the high priestess also indicates that it is time for you to embark on spiritual exercises.
Drawing the high priestess in reverse could also mean that you lack the information you need to make your decision. Probably, your boss or colleague at work is trying to con you into a bad deal, or your lover is trying to manipulate you.
3. The Emperor
This is the fourth trump or Major Arcana card in traditional Tarot decks. The emperor exudes dominance and stability as he sits on the throne holding his ankh scepter in his right hand a globe in his left hand.
The long white beards framing his face denote the wealth of experience the emperor has gathered. It also indicates he possesses the wisdom he requires to rule his empire.
You might wish to identify with the character traits accompanying this figure.
Nevertheless, be careful what you wish, the emperor also exudes arrogance and tyranny.
Drawing the emperor in an upright position means growth. You could be up for a potential promotion in your workplace or career.
It could also mean an advance in your finances and the creation of new income streams.
As a symbol of discipline, the upright emperor could also be telling you to buckle up and marshaling your resources into seizing new opportunities.
While many people believe that the Emperor cannot be associated with romantic interests, drawing this tarot card during a reading could also mean good relationships with older and more experienced partners.
The emperor is all about power and control.
Hence, drawing the Emperor in reverse during tarot readings serves as a pointer to power struggles or fierce competition in your workplace or business.
It could also point to your habitual indifference and lack of control over issues that affect your life.
