Q: what is upcoming for my career in film/tv? I really want to quit my part time job for this career and I feel really stuck.
Thank you! J 🐧
Hello J, I love that dream and I always enjoy questions about careers. They are always about given certainty against hopes and dreams.
I did my best for you with the card below, I hope it makes sense for you.
I drew you the Eight of Swords, reversed.
This card speaks to the moment where the feeling of being trapped starts to loosen, even if nothing has fully changed yet. In your question, I read this less as doors suddenly opening, and more as your own thinking shifting.
This card suggests you feeling stuck has been partly built by fear, pressure, and the idea that there is only one right way forward. In film and TV, paths are rarely clean or linear, and this card gently reminds you that your situation may not be as fixed as it feels.
The key here is not escape, but realizing the ropes were never as tight as they seemed.
The reversed Eight of Swords also reflects a growing discomfort with staying where you are simply because it is familiar. That part-time job may feel like safety, but it also seems to reinforce the belief that you are waiting for permission to begin your real work.
This card often shows up when someone is closer to movement than they think, but still hesitates to trust themselves. It asks you to look closely at what is actually stopping you now. Is it lack of opportunity, or fear of choosing wrong?

Sometimes we stay because something about the pause feels safer than the risk of momentum. Think about what is causing you the feeling of being stuck right now? Naming that can be more freeing than pushing yourself to move before you are ready.
If you feel comfortable, please let me know if this resonated.

Here for the free reading. I feel stuck where I’m at in the world. I was wondering what is in store for me this year for my writing and acting career in film and television? Will it finally pick up?
Thank you!

Hello Jillian, I am sorry to hear that. That's never an easy place to come from. I've drawn you a card below, I hope it gives you some positive vibes looking forward. ✨
I drew you the Chariot.
This card isn't about things picking up on their own. It's about you deciding to move, and then moving. The Chariot shows up when someone has the drive but is waiting for the road to clear first. The road doesn't clear. You take it while it's messy.
What strikes me about your question is the word "finally." That word has a lot of weight in it. It suggests you've been patient, maybe longer than you expected to be.
But patience in a creative career can quietly tip into waiting for permission. The Chariot asks: what would you do right now if you weren't waiting for the industry to tell you it was your turn?
Look at what's actually in front of you. Is there a project you've been sitting on? A collaboration you haven't followed up on? A role you talked yourself out of submitting for?
Pick one thing and move on it this week. Not because the timing is perfect, but because doing something is how you stop feeling stuck. The Chariot doesn't guarantee the destination. It just gets you out of the starting position.
You know what you're capable of. That's not the question. The question is whether you're willing to drive without knowing exactly where you'll end up.
It's not an easy read, but I hope it resonated. I would love to hear from you.

What do I have in store for me, career wise? (And in general if I can slip that in there as well!) thank you! 🙃
Dear Jillynina,
I can almost hear the trumpets!
Action! Adventure! Fearlessness! A... little bit of heedlessness as well 😅 You might be about to embark on something at full speed? Take it easy, though. It's not the time to be careless. Plus, there will be plenty of time for everything. In the flow state, tasks end up getting done almost seamlessly. If this is a project/endeavor/life change that can keep you aglow and inspired, you have nothing to worry about (except reining in some of that extra enthusiasm, perhaps).
But bring on the fire! Yes, too much of it burns, but just enough of it does great things.
He softly runs his finger down the side of my hand as he stands, hovering above me.
Lost in his warmth and smell of alcohol from his breath. So intoxicating, I lean against the wall to keep myself from falling... falling into him. Him and the future, dreams and promises we made to one another openly and secretly.
Unable to look him in the eyes, I squeeze them shut to better remember this moment. Cherish it forever.
Finally, he softly whispers “Didn’t I cherish you right?” His finger leaves my hand as he swiftly walks away. Eyes opened, I gulp for air.
Desperate for his warmth yet relieved the intoxicating high of him breaks me of the spell. The spell of him.
My name is Jill and I’d like to participate in a free reading! I want to know what’s next in my career in the film/tv industry in this upcoming new year?!
Such as am I getting a new job in the industry? Idk if you do timing (I know time is fluid and can change) but if so, when am I getting a new job?
Thank you so very much! 💜
Hi Jill!
What I got for you was an insanely positive reading!
Something big is coming your way and it’s happening soon. A period of stability, passion, celebration, and clarity is on its way to you. You are securing your legacy and making big strides in your profession.
Congratulations! I’m really excited for you.
Keep pushing, keep dreaming, and the opportunity will come to you soon enough.
Hi I would like to participate in your free reading! (I also followed you) my question is what’s coming up next in my career as a screenwriter and actress?
So up to now you’ve done a pretty good job taking direction and getting where you want to go.
For the next little while you’re not going to have work life balance. That’s pretty common for people whose careers are starting to take off- it’s going to be all work, rise and grind, getting connections and publicity.
The future is really interesting— 6 of swords is a moving on card. I see this one a lot for people who leave home to get an education or to relocate for work. You’ll have to tell me how it goes!
