So, I found myself scrolling online the other day, feeling a bit stuck in a rut with the whole career thing. You know how it is sometimes. Just wondering what’s next, or if I’m even on the right path. Then I stumbled across something offering a ‘free career tarot’ reading.
My first thought was, ‘Yeah, right.’ But then another part of me was curious. It was free, after all. What did I have to lose? A few minutes, maybe. So, I decided to just click on it and see what happened. Nothing heavy, just a quick look.
Getting Started
The website, or maybe it was an app, I forget, looked pretty straightforward. No complicated sign-ups, which was good. It just asked me to focus on my career question, which was basically ‘What should I be doing?’. Then, I had to click to draw three cards.
So, I took a breath, tried to clear my head a little, and clicked. Three cards flipped over on the screen. I think one was the Ten of Swords. Ouch. Looked like a guy lying face down with ten swords in his back. Didn’t seem too promising for my career prospects! Then maybe there was the Queen of Pentacles, she looked pretty stable and practical. And the last one might have been The Fool, stepping off a cliff but looking happy about it.
The So-Called Wisdom
Underneath the cards, some text popped up explaining what it all meant for my career. It was pretty standard stuff, to be honest.
- The Ten of Swords apparently meant an ending, maybe feeling burnt out or hitting rock bottom with my current situation. Okay, maybe a little bit true.
- The Queen of Pentacles suggested I needed to be practical, nurturing, maybe focus on stability and managing resources wisely. Sensible advice, I guess.
- The Fool was about taking a leap of faith, new beginnings, embracing the unknown with optimism.
It talked about hitting an end point (Ten of Swords), needing to be grounded and resourceful (Queen of Pentacles), but also being open to starting something completely new (The Fool). Kind of contradictory, right? Endings and beginnings, caution and risk, all at once.
My Takeaway
Did it give me a clear answer? Absolutely not. It didn’t tell me to become a baker or learn coding. It was vague. But, you know, sitting there looking at those cards and reading the interpretations, it did make me pause.
It forced me to think:
- Was I really feeling that ‘Ten of Swords’ burnout? Maybe more than I admitted.
- What practical ‘Queen of Pentacles’ steps could I actually take right now? Like, maybe updating my skills or organizing my finances.
- Was there a ‘Fool’s leap’ I was avoiding out of fear? A new idea I hadn’t pursued?
So, the reading itself wasn’t magic. It was just generic advice tied to some pictures. But the act of doing it, and the specific combination of ‘endings’, ‘practicality’, and ‘new beginnings’, kind of poked at my brain. It wasn’t the cards telling me something supernatural; it was me reacting to the prompts.
What Happened Next
I didn’t suddenly change my entire life based on free tarot. Come on. But I did spend about half an hour later that day actually jotting down some career thoughts. What parts of my job felt like the Ten of Swords? What practical steps could I take? What ‘new beginning’ might actually be interesting, even if it felt a bit scary like The Fool?
It was a surprisingly useful little nudge, even if the source was a bit silly. Didn’t cost a penny, just a few minutes of clicking and thinking. Didn’t find any magic answers, but it did kickstart a little bit of much-needed personal reflection. So, yeah, that was my experience with the free career tarot thing online. An odd, but not totally useless, way to spend five minutes.
