Okay, so, yesterday I was super bored and thought, “Hey, why not mess around with tarot cards for career advice?” I mean, I’m not a pro or anything, just thought it’d be a fun experiment. Here’s how it all went down.
First, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck, nothing fancy. I’ve had it for ages and honestly, I mostly use it for personal reflection, not like, serious life decisions. But hey, a girl’s gotta try something new, right?
Then, I decided on a simple three-card spread. Past, present, and future – classic stuff. I shuffled the deck, trying to focus on my career questions. Like, am I on the right path? Should I be looking for something new? You know, the usual mid-life crisis kinda thoughts.
Next, I laid out the cards. Okay, so here’s what I got:
- Past: The Tower (reversed). Yikes. In tarot speak, this usually means avoiding some big change or disruption. Makes sense, I’ve been playing it safe for a while now.
- Present: The Hermit. Hmm, introspection and solitude. Yeah, that’s pretty much me right now. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and soul-searching lately.
- Future: The Wheel of Fortune. Alright! Finally, some good news. This card is all about cycles, luck, and new opportunities. Sounds promising!
After that, I started digging into what these cards could mean for my career. The Tower reversed made me think about whether I’ve been avoiding risks that could actually benefit me. The Hermit confirmed I needed to keep focusing on my inner voice and clarifying my goals. And the Wheel of Fortune? That gave me a little hope that things are about to turn around.
I then did some research, just googled “tarot career predictions” and looked at a few different interpretations. Some sites said similar things, others were way out there. I tried to stick to the more grounded explanations.
So, the conclusion? Well, I’m not about to quit my job based on a tarot reading, but it did give me some food for thought. It reminded me to be more open to change and to trust that things will eventually work out. Plus, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon. Would I recommend it as a serious career guide? Probably not. But as a tool for self-reflection and getting a fresh perspective? Sure, why not?
Finally, I journaled about the whole experience. Writing down my thoughts and feelings about the cards helped me to process everything and see how it might apply to my real life. It was a good way to wrap up the experiment.
