1. Superiority Complex

With the influence of the Magician, ego can come into play when unchecked. This could cause thinking that your ideas are better than others’ and shutting down people’s perspectives. You can’t carry out your vision without the help of those around you, so it would be wise to use your natural communication skills to bring out the best in others rather than shut them down. While you are naturally talented, this doesn’t mean your abilities are better than others. The lesson is to learn the inherent value that every human brings that can complement your skills too.

2. Blaming Self and Others

Part of the lessons is to learn how to take full responsibility without blaming yourself and others for blocking you from making it happen. This projection can be a distraction from insecurities happening within. Be kind to yourself and recognize your human capacity to take on your workload and extend that kindness to others.

3. Fear of Change

The influence of the Wheel of Fortune can bring sudden and unexpected changes. It can feel like a rollercoaster at times! The nature of this can bring fear of change and wanting things to be more consistent.
