The Optionizer
The side of us that weighs the options and can appreciate different perspectives — the mediator who brings harmony.
Open-minded, diplomatic
Vague, indecisive
Confrontation — closing a door that can never be reopened.
Optionizers appreciate every side of a question, which makes them natural mediators and peace-makers. They like to keep all possibilities open — to the point where they can procrastinate and avoid deciding, so as not to close out any other possibility.
Optionizers are open-minded, flexible and diplomatic team players with good alternative viewpoints. They tend to avoid leading, but will step into leadership when negotiation or mediation is key. A fear of confrontation can have them occur as vague and indecisive — reluctant to give firm commitments or clearly defined direction.

A neutral baseline; the strength it becomes when the gift is honoured; the weakness it falls into when the fear beneath it takes over.

The other faces of the Magician
Our capacity to step back, gain perspective and, from a distance, see the bigger picture. It lets us see the risks and challenges that may lie ahead, and develop strategies for meeting them. Rooted in the archetypal energy of the Magician.
