The Magician
Mercury · the will made articulate
Upright
focus · skill · saying it plainly
Everything needed is already on the table; the work is concentration. This card rewards naming the aim out loud and then using the tool in front of you.
Reversed
manipulation · scatter · talk without work
Power turned to persuasion for its own sake, or a plan described so often that describing it replaces doing it.
Why this astrology
The trumps were attributed one by one to a planet, a sign or an element, which is how The Magician came to carry mercury · the will made articulate. Read it as that force arriving in the question.
