Narrow Focus

From the Tarot de St. Croix, the Magician; from the Archetype Cards, Detective:

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus. – Alexander Graham Bell

The companion booklet notes that the number of the Magician is the root number of the Sun and Wheel of Fortune. It is a hint that although we may have the resources to produce what we want, we also need a laser-like focus to get things to go the right way. Feeling like we have too much to do might cause us to try to multitask. Or, if our mind is on something more entertaining that we'd like to be doing, we might not be fully concentrated on the task at hand. Detective suggests that if things didn't turn out as expected, we might look carefully to see why. It might be that we left out something important, that our timing wasn't right, or that we simply need another pair of hands to help.
