The Magician as a Tarot Birth Card
You are resourceful and quick to see how things connect. People may look to you to make something happen, and you often do, through communication, craft or sheer concentration.
As a personality card, The Magician appears when your digit total is 1 (or reduces to 1). It is then both your personality and soul card.
As a soul card, The Magician is paired with Wheel of Fortune and The Sun.
