"Attaining one's dream requires a stern will and unfailing determination."
[edit] Description
The Magician is a force for ideas and innovation, an ambitious and energetic creator. So long as they put those great ideas of those into action, wonderful things will happen. The Magician invents, firm in their belief in themselves... as long as The Magician stays focused, anyway. Sometimes directing their desires as they envision them may be a little bit of a challenge, of course. The Magician doesn't necessarily get along with others when their vision clashes with that of others, but sometimes their outgoing and active nature can smooth the wrinkles out.
Not everyone manages to turn raw idea and energy to good effect, however. Without that focus and belief, the Magician Reversed more often than not causes problems for themselves and others, their works stymied and achieving little. Or, the Magician, instead of working with possibilities and enthusiastically explaining them to the world around him, may turn his energies to serve his own ends, selling false dreams and impossibilities to those he meets on his way.
