	The card in the center represents the attitude you assume. The Magician: Mastery of words and of matter. Eloquence, including eloquent silence and Hermetic wisdom. Mediator, messenger, and communicator. The Magician may be a sage or just a quick talker. He is a master-manipulator of the material world, but the miracles he effects may be true physical and metaphysical transformation of mere illusion and technical tricks. With Hermes, one never knows; he is the god of orators and liars, merchants and thieves, trickery and arcane science.
	The card to the right represents the thoughts and feelings that underly your attitudes. Page of Staves: A young person of faithful countenance who, even unintentionally, helps others. An unofficial Hermes: a carrier of important news, an envoy, a guide, a pleasant stranger. A suave, bring and noble soul.
	The card at the top represents how your attitude is evolving and will evolve in the future. The Moon: Mystery. Changeability. Unseen and unknown forces of the night, and unpredictable transformations from the mutable moon. Young womanhood. Feminine beauty. Ordeal and honor of childbearing.
	The card to the left represents how others perceive your attitude. Ten of Staves (Oppression): A final trial before an enduring reward. The greater the struggle, the greater the reward.
	The card at the bottom represents what you cannot confront or are hiding from yourself. Seven of Coins (Assessment), when reversed: Unwise decision. Stagnation.
