MAGICIAN - The magical woman embraces her power by balancing her inner self and outer reality. She accomplishes what seems miraculous through a deep understanding of nature and our perception of reality. Often she does not seek to be the center of power but prefers to be the catalyst for the success of others. Her visionary and esoteric talents provide the opportunity to bring hopes and dreams to fruition, usually by teaching others to change their inner thoughts and attitudes. The magical woman values her freedom and time to seek the inner balance that is the source of her power.
