Okay, so today I decided to mess around with something I’ve been curious about for a while: job tarot cards. I’ve seen people do readings about career paths and job prospects, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
First, I dusted off my old tarot deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up a few years ago. I’m no expert, but I know the basics of the cards.
Getting Started
I cleared off my kitchen table – gotta have a clean space, right? – and laid out a simple three-card spread. I figured that would be enough to give me some insight without being overwhelming. The idea was to focus on my current job situation and see what the cards had to say.
- Card 1: Represents the present situation.
- Card 2: Represents a challenge or obstacle.
- Card 3: Suggests a potential outcome or advice.
My Reading
I shuffled the deck, really trying to concentrate on my job. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little nervous. Then, I drew the three cards and flipped them over.
Here’s what I got:
- Present: The Five of Pentacles. Ouch. This one often signifies financial hardship or feeling left out in the cold. Kinda relatable, to be honest.
- Challenge: The Tower. Double ouch. Major upheaval, sudden change… definitely not what I wanted to see.
- Outcome/Advice: The Star. Okay, this was a bit of a relief. The Star is all about hope, inspiration, and renewal.
Making Sense of It
So, what did I make of all this? Well, the Five of Pentacles and The Tower definitely resonated with some of the frustrations and anxieties I’ve been feeling about work lately. It felt like the cards were acknowledging the tough stuff.
But then there’s The Star. It suggested that even though things might be shaky right now, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe it means a new opportunity is coming, or maybe it’s just a reminder to stay positive and keep looking for solutions.
Overall, it was a pretty interesting experience. I’m not sure if I’m going to make any major life decisions based on this one reading, but it definitely gave me some food for thought. It helped me frame my current situation and think about what I want for the future. And, hey, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon!
