Five-card career reading for a friend
The querent has
been working for the same company for 15 years. He’s risen in the ranks, but sees
no opportunity for further advancement, and therefore has been considering
seeking employment elsewhere. Let’s see what the cards have to say about his
situation!
The layout shows
that the querent’s current employment status is stable, as denoted by Marriage. (Incidentally, this is the
perfect example to illustrate the wide-range of meanings a card can hold!)
However, stability in this case equals stagnation, and Death indicates that the querent feels it is time to end this
period of his professional life by initiating a major change.
The obstacles
are represented by the Judge, meaning
that it is difficult for the querent to actually follow through with the
desired career change, due to the fact that he is in a very high position at
his current workplace.
The best
solution would be for him to actively begin strengthening his professional
relationships outside his current employer, and see where that takes him. This
would require a lot of communication and movement – as denoted by Message.
The good news is
Constancy signaling that he will soon
witness the unfoldment of a positive outcome – it is fated. Considering that
the card depicts the watchful Eye of God there’s little cause for worry, but
let’s draw another one just to be absolutely sure. Up comes Love, which assures us that all will
turn out as the querent’s heart desires.
Buying and selling property
A girlfriend of mine has asked
for a reading because she has been thinking of moving house, which is
immediately confirmed by the cards of Thought, House and Travel. The card of
Misfortune signals that if she goes along with selling her old apartment she
may encounter trouble related to official documents (Letter). It seems rather
likely that she could only sell the apartment way below market value, as
indicated by the card of Little Money, and that the whole transaction would be
drawn out for a long time (Thief). The presence of the Enemy card tells us that
moving closer to her family, as she is planning to do, would not be a good idea
right now. Taking all into consideration, a move, or transfer of property is
not advisable at this time – it is wiser to wait.
Consulting the cards prior
to making major life changes
The querent here is a young woman
wondering if she should relocate to the foreign country where her boyfriend of
two years is living.
For this reading, Sweetheart will
be used as a significator card.
The layout tells us that the
beau’s offer came as Unexpected Joy. Fortune indicates
that this relocation would bring much luck and happiness. It would be a major
life change, something the querent, as Hope suggests, has been
desiring. However, as much as she would like to follow her heart and follow
through with the move, her fears are holding her back (Marriage and
Jealosy combined).
Although the cards show doubts
and wavering on the querent’s part, it is also obvious that the relocation
would end up being a success, because Fortune is a card that
trumps all. Whether the projected success refers to the relationship or the
querent’s career, only time can tell - if she is brave enough to walk down the
path to finding out! :)
