The Magician and The World

The first act of the sequence drawn with its completion, which the tradition reads as an arc rather than a contrast. The Magician sets out the tools; The World is what they were for. The pair is favourable and it is specific that completion here means finished rather than perfect.

Associated with something that has arrived where it was going, and with the difference between a relationship that is settled and one that has merely lasted.

Read for a body of work reaching its proper end. The pair is warm about it and does not ask what comes next.

Let it be finished. The instinct to immediately begin the next thing is the one worth resisting for a while.
