What answer the The Magician card gives to a yes or no question: “yes”, and how to treat it.

The answer of The Magician: “Yes”
The Magician means you have the tools and the skill. So it gives a confident “yes”: the result depends on your actions, and they are possible.
What the answer depends on
The answer is stronger when you act consciously and honestly. If you promise more than you can deliver, “yes” loses its force.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “Yes”. The reversed Magician moves the answer towards “maybe”: the resources are there but scattered, or you doubt. Check whether you are honest with yourself.
What to do next
Choose the first concrete step and take it within a day.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: The Magician shows that you have everything needed to create the relationship you want: words, charm, initiative. If the question is about work: The Magician at work is skill, initiative and the ability to turn an idea into a result.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “will” in my situation? Is the lack of “mastery” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “action”?
