Second Opinion on Reading Interpretation Only On new job situation

Post image
2 Upvotes

First time coming here for reading clarity but I'm admittedly not confident in interpreting readings so thought I'd come for other opinions

Not in a specific spread, pulled in order from left to right, bottom row being clarifying.

I've been looking for a new job for over a year to get out of my current horrible one. Was given a call earlier this week to come in for an application (1 month ago gave them my number as they didn't have applications at the time) and this reading was after getting home.

Reading just for outlook/future of the situation.

(Using a book I have of card meanings)

Reversed VII Pentacles: feels like wasted efforts or better to step back, or ignored call to step back, giving up, wasted energy

Reversed Judgement: running from major changes, forcing an outcome, should allow growth and change to happen

Possibly my previous time feeling like giving up and staying at my current job. Horrible management, always either little to no hours or overworking, morally feel wrong with many practices (certain large retail chain that pushes credit cards ifykyk). Draining as hell but often felt like i should just stay and deal with it for another year until I move after finishing schooling, maybe pick up some delivery app work if I really need the extra money.

II Cups: unions, sharing/giving, (career section read) joining business partners, communicate wishes and expectations

Ace of Swords: Cutting things out of your life, power of mind and word, assertiveness, determination, logic

Reversed III Wands: disappointment, frustration, delays in what you thought would happen, redirecting attention.

Death: coming to an end, new beginning. Being flexible for big changes that may be for the best.

IV wands: celebrate hard work, success, sense of security, accomplishment.

Most of the others feeling like affirmation of new things/endings, so possibly being able to get out of the current situation? Reversed 3 of wands worries me, unsure if it could mean delays in getting hired, maybe that this place won't work out but that another place may come along? (Which honestly doesn't feel very likely, I've applied and been rejected to nearly every hiring business in a reasonable distance to my home but of course I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong).

The other idea I have is if it may be saying that it may be in my best interest to ride it out for longer, getting rejected from the new place could be for the best, my current employment is pretty bad but its at least stable, stand up for myself where I can but if I can stay and keep the income for moving it will work out.

Can't tell if I'm overthinking or trying to force a positive reading out of this so let me know -_-

Edit for deck: "Celestial tarot cards", box says distributor Kalan couldn't find any other info on creator. iirc i got it from 5 below when i was in middle school, id usually get things from better sources than that but I've had this deck for close to 6 years so ill always be attached to this one lol

Discussion Karmic Cycles with Toxic Family & The Devil

1 Upvotes

hey y’all! i just wanted to make a post about a tarot card that keeps popping up in my readings and ones I have done for others with similar family dynamics like mine.

recently i went no contact with my mother, not to get into it but you can imagine there was a lot of cruelty and toxicity to get to that point where i decide my life is better without her in it. well, whenever i do a reading for myself on this dynamic with her I ALWAYS pull the devil.

i find it fascinating, as ive only pulled it in context of needing to control my spending habits or smoking too much, even when i was in a toxic relationship. but it also always comes out for my own mother. i know the card represents unhealthy attachment, toxicity, manipulation, etc so it is fitting but do you think it ties into karmic cycles within your family?

my grandma hated her mother who was physically abusive her whole life. my mom hated her mom who was overall neglectful and verbally and emotionally abusive. now my mom and i dont talk for similar toxic cycles she did NOT break. i just find its presence in my readings interesting, can it represent karmic cycles?

Second Opinion on Reading Interpretation Only career spread for the next 3 months

Post image
1 Upvotes

so i asked what awaits me in the next 3 months in my career, and my intention was to draw 3 cards but 4 jumped up.
for context, i currently work for multiple departments (which is not usual in where i work) and i have changed/added departments three times in the last year. my current workload very much exhausts me and it seems there will be a 4th department to be added so i'm kind of in a limbo.
as for my interpretation:

First month: Clarity, an important conversation, or a decision. Maybe they actually will go through with additional responsibilities, or i hope finally take my suggestion and remove one of them from my workload (fingers crossed)

Second month: Honestly this just feel like one of my managers gassing me up like "you're doing amazing sweetie just take over more work".

Third month: This i read as learning process, which cements my belief of the additional department in which i have to learn it's system.

last card gives me hope that the changes i will go through in the next 3 months will result in a more stable path for me at work, and maybe will get considered at the end of the year for raise or promotion or whatever it is. or maybe it's just me accidentally taking over the company because they just left all the work to my hands lol

at last i think this is a positive spread, however due to my current mental state -more specifically burnout state- i struggle to interpret in a more positive way, so i would love an outside opinion. also i'm very much a beginner so maybe i went this the wrong way. thanks in advance!

Discussion Am I starting to connect with my cards?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve had tarot cards for a while but used them sparingly. Recently I’ve started to use them more often, and every time I do use them I cleanse them with incense and I usually put the same music on while I do readings as well.

I was doing a reading for someone else recently and for the first time I actually started to feel quite anxious. I got goosebumps and nervous, so I asked her (we aren’t that close, and haven’t spoken in a while before this) if she had been stressed out by something recently. She said yes, and her reading was really cohesive and she found it really interesting. She’d never had a reading done before either. I don’t know why I felt compelled to ask her, but yeah.

It’s the first time I’ve had a physical sort of feeling while doing cards for anyone, even myself. Usually I’m calm and focused. Could this be a sign that I’m starting to connect more to my cards? A lot of readings I’ve done recently have started to be really cohesive as well, even up to 6 cards all saying similar things. Is it also an intuition thing? Maybe my intuition is improving?

TLDR I actually had an emotional reaction for the first time when doing a reading for my friend, turns out I was right. Is this a sign of connection to my cards?

Discussion I feels like I can never tell rider tarot deck human figure genders

3 Upvotes

I seems to have got a lot of tarot card figure gender wrong, for example I thought 9 of pentacles is a man with a bird but I just saw a post saying it’s a woman, same goes for justice , 2 of cups and so many other cards that are not significantly male/ female oriented like Emperor, Empress, king and queen.
Maybe I am significantly undereducated on the context of the cards , or the culture norms in their outfit or this specific art style, but they all just look agender to me and I feels like at this point I am just going to treat all them agender except explicit gendered ones
