Tarot Card of the Week: The Magician
The Magician wears layered robes and a headband. An infinity sign floats above his head as he holds a magical wand to the sky while pointing to the ground with his other hand. Red and white flowers in the foreground are reflected in the colours of his robes. Roses that hang above his head mirror the ones growing from the ground close to his feet. A table carved with symbols holds objects from all four tarot suits: a wand, a sword, a pentacle, and a cup.
This is a card carrying the message of “as above, so below”, indicating the powerful potential of visualisation, manifestation, and meditation to affect multiple areas of life, represented by the themed objects on the table. The Magician speaks to the ways in which the outer world can be altered when inner thoughts and feelings are allowed to shift.
The Magician also highlights actions that originate from inspiration. Ruled by Gemini, this card emphasises the power that words can have to change the world. In this way, The Magician can perform as a communicative channel between two worlds, bringing images and visions from a higher consciousness into an earthly realm through the conduit of language. The Magician can also act as a hypnotist by transforming thoughts into behaviours. New behaviours create different choices and those new choices change the way people respond to our actions. Therefore, a shift in consciousness that results from the updating of automatic behaviours, whether through meditation, self-hypnosis, or manifestation exercises, really has the potential to change life here on Earth.

World News from the Future
World News combined with the Major Arcana card of The Magician can denote major social changes that are taking place as a result of transformed world consciousness. In terms of the climate crisis, there are opportunities for change but also caution about what constitutes the most productive direction. Deception and illusion are possible so choices related to climate problems must be made with care if they are to be effective.
Beware of complicated solutions that only foster more growth, not less. Degrowth is necessary, therefore anything that encourages the opposite should be regarded with suspicion. It will be imperative to check the motives of individuals and corporations that push agendas from which they could potentially benefit. This card warns that there are “magic tricks” and disappearing acts at play. Some problems that seem to disappear have only been hidden. One example is “carbon offsets”, the medieval indulgences of our times. These promises alleviate short-term guilt but do almost nothing for supporting long-term survival. Feeling better about actions that aren’t actually productive is a way of delaying the implementation of real solutions. As with the indulgences of the Middle Ages, delays only benefit investment growth for the wealthiest people who hold the most power. Carbon offsets represent a dangerous illusion, and won’t be the only one we need to watch for. News reports that are honest about the problem will emphasise that the goal needs to be the mitigation of further harm, not the minimisation of further guilt. This week and this month demonstrate some of the more bizarre manifestations of extreme, fast-changing temperatures. These rapid changes are a sign to act all the more quickly in order to preserve all that we can.
Dreams of World News From the Future: I had a dream last night in which I travelled to the future, specifically Los Angeles. This dream was unusual because there was an attempt to mitigate heat with the assistance of white shapes that floated in the sky. It seemed like these objects were designed as a substitute for clouds. Some of the shapes were whimsical and comical, perhaps designed to cheer people up, but most of them were amorphous while some others changed shape due to the pressure they encountered in the atmosphere while in a state of motion. Unlike natural clouds, these objects moved more quickly, although I wouldn’t exactly describe them as fast. The objects floated above people and past office and apartment windows.
These white floating objects were capable of producing rain, although I only saw light sprinkles in this dream. It seemed like some of them might have been created with a type of aerosol-like spray that may have been created in a lab (although not actually aerosol as that would be harmful to the environment). Later on, this artificial cloud montage dream featured sound bites from overheard future conversations in which people were reflecting on how Musk was trying to claim credit for inventing this system. The dream demonstrated an attempt to artificially turn back time and was a warning that the ways in which we will be able to recreate weather conditions will be limited and not as effective as what can be produced by the natural world.
I mention this dream under the “World News” heading because this kind of attempt at weather control will inevitably take place in many countries. However, it might begin in places like L.A. that are heavily populated and will quickly become less habitable with the rapid progression and intensification of global heating. Not in 2050, not in 2030, but more so with every passing year and far sooner than many mainstream media outlets would lead us to believe. The good news is that we are on a timeline where so much can be done right now and many outcomes are still possible. As Greta Thunberg wisely noted in a 2019 speech to U.S. Congress, “You must do the impossible. Because giving up can never ever be an option”. The Magician never gives up, and always finds a way forward that begins with contemplation and culminates in productive, well-informed action.
U.S. News from the Future
In U.S. News, some of these changes will be challenges to the legal system and antiquated, colonial governmental procedures. Some of these conflicts between an old system and a new generation will play out in the Senate, and others will take place in courtrooms on a state level in the form of challenges to traditional procedures of governing and regulating. Unnecessary delays caused by bureaucracy will be a theme of the month in U.S. news.
The Magician indicates that creative opportunities and solutions are on the horizon, even if they are not yet visible in the material world. For example, the way finances are distributed in the U.S. could change more in the next ten years than it has in the past century. Part of this is a result of needing to adapt to the climate emergency, particularly flooding. As the proverb goes, “necessity is the mother of invention”. This saying is similar to and may have originated from Plato’s revelation from The Republic: “Our need will be the real creator”. The need is great, so it’s time to create.
Fast-paced climate and environmental changes necessitate inventiveness and creativity from more people and at a quicker pace than ever before. The U.S. is one of the places where this must happen, partly due to its contribution to weather changes and also because it will be possible based on a tradition of breaking with traditions, partly through protest. Many people from many countries will lead the way. The U.S., with its financial advantages and prominent visibility in World News, has a responsibility to be one of them.
Dream of U.S. News From the Future: This week I had a dream about Kamala Harris. She said she was no longer comfortable working with certain people. This showed her taking on a greater role in Biden’s decision-making responsibilities and stepping into his shoes once he is no longer able to do so. In this dream, there was tension between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris in terms of who gets to make the decisions once Biden encounters health issues. This conflict brings up constitutional questions that will be compared to Reagan’s affliction with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Future News for You
When you apply the principles of The Magician to your life, circumstances that seemed stuck can start to move, as long as you do the inner work. New solutions can arise as a result of what you are recreating and rewriting through the drama of your internal world. The results of that interior work might take time to be noticeable externally. The first thing you might be aware of is a change in how you feel about the part of your life you are working on through meditation, hypnosis, ritual, or manifestation.
This card is about having agency and power over your own life through the exploration of a mental, emotional, or spiritual world. The Magician is not saying to refrain from taking action. Instead, it is suggesting to connect with your feelings and thoughts so you can be guided in the optimal direction when you do take action. By reframing your feelings as more of what you want them to be, you are more likely to attract circumstances that continue to bring about those same feelings again and again. Do you want more love in your life? Feel or reconnect with the love you have felt for others before. Are you seeking a successful year? Recall a time when you felt success and let yourself “act as if” you are in that state of mind again.
Like attracts like, so if you want more love, success, or happiness, connect to that emotional state and see what happens. We can’t control the details of an outcome. As you undoubtedly know from your own experience, it isn’t possible to control other people. However, it is possible to use self-hypnosis to bring about the general feelings and sometimes even circumstances that you seek.
Once you have done the inner work, take actions that guide you towards what you want. You may find that the more you get in touch with your feelings, whether through meditation or another spiritual practise, the more synchronicity you might encounter. Each time you experience the magic of synchronicity, you are receiving validation for following your own personal path of meaning that can be as worldly as it is divine.
