You have chosen the Magician and the Nine of Wands. The Nine of Wands shows you have been trying to defend yourself without any success. This is probably to do with work. Things are becoming a problem. You are doing far too much and your poor body is physically worn out but you're very stubborn. You know that you will not surrender and yet you're fighting a losing battle. You keep trying to protect what you feel is yours and you feel oppressed but you know that you're doing far too much and eventually your physical health will suffer. Stop making such hard work out of something. You know that you're trying to hang on and protect something that has already got out of hand. You're really not going to win this one. You are someone that is bright and intelligent for the Magician shows that you have the thinking capacity to view reality in exactly the way that is necessary to help you through this difficult stage. This is simply a case of delegating and moving on to something different. The Magician shows that your mind is capable of many things but its time for you to realise an achievement is sometimes best when we start something new. This is a time for you to use your will power to leave behind the old and go with something entirely different but you've got to manifest for yourself what you want, particularly when it comes to work. Your career and other matters: sometimes you're too stubborn, you work too hard. The Magician is telling you to be clever, to box it safe, and to really think how you view reality and how you can make things best work for you with a lot less effort. Working too hard is leaving you exhausted and you're not firing on all cylinders at the moment. This is not exactly the most productive that you can be. You would do better to work less and be more productive but you've got to find the way in which you can do that. The Magician is telling you, you know exactly how but at the moment because you are so tired you cannot see the wood from the trees. It's time to have a little bit of a break and look at things from a different angle. The answers are there, the Magician will show you how.
