Career choices
Using the Rider Waite deck
I’m more of a beginner reader, and would like some more insight. Sometimes I second guess myself, especially when asking about things I really want. I’ve been job searching as a new grad, and have an interview coming up for a position in my hometown in my field I’m pursuing, but not exactly what I want to do. I also want to move cities. I originally applied a bit out of desperation and confusion if I was just meant to stay home. I asked two questions and let the cards fall out. For the cards on the left of the I asked, assuming I get this job, if I took it if I would feel happy/is this an opportunity I should pursue seriously.
Death: It would be transformative, giving me professional experience in the industry. Yes, I know Death isn’t necessarily bad, but in this context it feels more negative. Transformative, yes. But happiness? Not so sure.
4 of cups: I’d feel bored, and a bit like I settled. I’d still be thinking about other things.
3 of wands: I would literally be there looking out. But could also be telling me it’s a good opportunity that would set a good foundation long-term.
For the right of the line, I asked what will happen if I hold out for something I truly want/the other jobs I applied for.
The High Priestess: Called me out. I had an inkling earlier that something else was coming, and idk if this position was “it”. She’s telling me I know and to follow.
7 of pentacles: I’m still planting for something different, and patience is required. (but i’m tired of feeling like i’m only planting and nothings growing lmao)
3 of pentacles: Steady effort, Ill still be searching? Like perhaps the other positions I’ve applied for won’t succeed and there’s more searching?
The Sun: Success and new opportunities will come. Something that will truly make me happy.
4 of wands: A feeling of completion, celebration, and overall I’ll find something that will make me feel stable.
I know I’ve probably used more “generic” readings of the cards, but overall to me one seems better and more aligned with what I actually want rather than settling out of fear. But please. Anything I missed or a different lense would be great!
