The Magician and The Tower

Skill meeting something skill cannot hold. The Magician is the card of available means: everything on the table, the will to direct it. The Tower is the reminder that competence is not the same as control, and the tradition reads the pair as capability failing to prevent a collapse rather than causing one.

Charm and capability against something structural. Associated with relationships where one person was managing the situation extremely well right up until it stopped being manageable.

A project run properly that failed anyway, usually for reasons above the level anybody in it controlled. The pair is unusually kind about this: it does not read as incompetence.

The useful question is what you were holding together that was not yours to hold. The Magician tends to answer "all of it".
