Card on which to mediate: Magician

There is no one I like more than the Magician because there is indeed nothing that he cannot do! Master of all the suits, he gathers them together in an elaborate ceremony combined with his own talent and experience in preparation to conjure the perfect spell. Judging from the confident look in his eyes, it is guaranteed to be a showstopper.

The same is true of the querent who gets this card in a reading; they demonstrate the power to accomplish anything towards which they channel their efforts.

If we put that same principle into the constructs of a year, especially a significant one, we instinctively know before the clock strikes twelve on New Year's Eve that by September, we should be further ahead then behind! If we are not, our grand finale will not be all that grand!

Hence it stands to reason that we start off on the right foot; making the right choices etc., that we may be at our optimum vantage point , the alter , by the September of our lives. So that there is still time enough to bask in the warmth of summer before the year is out.

That is, unless of course , you are staging a 'disappearing' act; retirement perhaps . If so , be certain you maintain your pride , secrets of magic until the audience's gaze is satisfied.
