NOTE: The Magician is one of two Major Arcana cards having two elements, Air and Earth. The other is the Judgement card. The Magician represents "Above and Below" (as in Heaven and Earth or higher and lower vibrations). When the Magician is upright he is signaling toward "Above (Air/hiher vibration)" and, when reversed, "Below (Earth/lower vibration)". Even when a reader uses only upright cards, it's up to the seeker to intuitively dsicern whether the Magician is reaching toward Heaven (using everything available to them to create Heaven on Earth or not. Therefore, two very different holistic approaches are used depending on the seeker's intuitive reaction and thoughts about the Magician. If the seeker is actively using their resources to pursue the highest good for all, thier Sanguine nature has taken the lead. If they are stuck or cutting corners, their Melancholic nature is being represented.

The Tarot Magician Traditional Meanings
You are indeed the captain of your ship. The time is right to use your specialized knowledge, training, and past experience to achieve your goals. Anything you need should be at hand to enable you to master your task. Be sure to communicate with those who can assist you in achieving your goals.
If I could offer you one piece of advice, it would be to aim your focus and skills toward your vision. Take advantage of the tools and resources given to you. Leave nothing undone. However, do not fall under the guise of acting as if you know more than you do. It will only sabotage your mission in the end.
Examine yourself thoroughly and, by all means, don't give up your solid foundation in favor of a potential risk that may lead to downfall. You are fully capable of acting the skilled professional and to arrive at the destiny of your own choosing.
The Tarot Magician Biblical Meanings
The Tarot Magician represents the first moment of creation, the initial act of manifesting "As above, so below." Through intention and will, we can perform the magic to transform our lives. The secret to making wise decisions and creating anything of value is to take our fears and apprehensions to God. We must check in with our creator to ensure that what we decide to manifest in the world gives glory to God by being served up from our highest selves to benefit others.
The Tarot Magician in Health Readings
Possible health issues related to the brain (speech and communication, memory, learning), the nervous system (the senses), and respiration. It's possible you're spreading yourself too thin or burning the candle at both ends (leading to adrenal burnout) , rather than allowing yourself to rest or designating help. The Magician's mental states affect the body. There's a need to apply wisdom (doing what you know) to recover or a need to consult a specialist.
Tarot Meditation

Food Remedies
Sanguines do well on a very light vegetarian diet (meaning, some meats, eggs, fish). Not eating enough vegetables and fruits and overeating meat will bother the Sanguine temperament.
Melancholics don't do well with spicy or processed foods. Stale, rancid or astringent foods, soy, too many nuts (especially peanuts) and beans, nightshades, especially tomatoes, and eggplant, will bother the Melancholic temperament. The Melancholic fairs better with diets containing meat.
