The Magician is the ultimate achiever. He is the archetype of the dynamic, masculine principle. He represents the ability to harness universal energy for creative ends. Notice his pose. He is like a lightning rod, with one arm reaching up to the Divine for inspiration and the other pointing down to the Earth to ground this powerful energy.
The Lovers is one of the most recognizable cards in the Tarot deck. Love and sex are two human preoccupations, and this card represents both. The need for unity is strong, and it can push us to transcend ourselves.
