Explore the motive without assuming it
The Magician asks what you can do with the resources already on the table. Attention, language, practice, and timing become effective when they serve one purpose. This is less about wishing successfully than making an intention visible.
Look for intention expressed through choices
An intention is a possible direction of effort. It becomes easier to assess when a person states it and follows through.
- If you are reading for yourself, name what you want to bring about and why.
- If you are asking about someone else, separate what they have said from what you hope or fear they mean.
- Look for a repeated choice that supports the stated intention, and leave uncertainty visible where it remains.
