Alright, so, I wanted to figure out this whole “Magician reversed” thing in Tarot. I mean, does it mean yes, or does it mean no? It’s been bugging me, you know? So, I dove in, did a little experiment of my own. Here’s how it went down.
First off, I got my Tarot deck out. Shuffled it, like, a million times. I wanted to make sure it was, you know, properly mixed up. Then, I focused on my question: “Will I get that promotion at work?” I’ve been working my butt off, and this promotion is a big deal for me.
Setting the Stage
I found a quiet spot in my apartment, lit a candle ’cause why not, and laid out a simple spread. Just three cards, representing past, present, and future. The “present” card is where I expected the Magician to show up, hopefully, giving me some clarity.

The Draw
Took a deep breath, flipped over the first card – a five of swords, not great, suggesting some past conflicts. I guess that made sense since there was some reshuffling at the company. Okay, moving on. Next card, the “present” card. And bam, there it was – the Magician. But, it was reversed. My heart kinda sank, not gonna lie. It is said that a reversed card may mean the block of upright energy.
Digging Deeper
Instead of freaking out, I decided to pull another card for clarification. Just to see what’s up with this reversed Magician. And, I got the five of cups. Also reversed. That card is often about finding a new way, not exactly a confidence booster. So, two reversed cards. Not looking good. I also pulled other three cards and two of them are positive. Based on my finding, I think the answer is yes.
Making Sense of It
- The Magician reversed: This seemed to indicate blocked potential, maybe some self-doubt creeping in. Makes sense, I have been questioning if I’m really ready for this promotion.
- Five of Cups reversed: This felt like it was mirroring the Magician’s energy. Like, I might be dwelling on past disappointments instead of focusing on my strengths.
The Conclusion
So, what’s the verdict? Is the Magician reversed a yes or a no? Based on my little experiment, I’d say it’s leaning towards a “no,” or at least a “not yet.” Or a “hesitant yes.” It’s a signal that I’ve got some inner work to do. Maybe I need to boost my confidence, address those doubts, and really own my abilities.
This whole experience was pretty eye-opening. It’s not just about getting a straight answer. It’s about understanding the energies at play and what I need to work on. I’ve decided to take this as a sign to step up my game, work on my confidence, and maybe, just maybe, that promotion will be within reach.
And hey, even if it doesn’t happen right away, I’ve learned something valuable about myself. And that’s worth more than any promotion, right?
