The number one at the top signifies new beginnings and potential. At the same time, the four elements defined by the tools (wand, cup, sword, and pentacle) symbolize creativity, emotions, intellect, and material resources.

The Magician's confident posture and focused gaze convey mastery and skill. 

This card suggests harnessing one's creative abilities, utilizing resources, and manifesting ideas into reality through impeccable craftsmanship and ingenuity. The Magician today is Chris Lilly.
