PAC: What's coming up in career + advice

Pick your pile and scroll for your reading.

Chipmunk/success

Dragonfly/ balance

Sheep/devotion

Pile 1

I had some of these in reverse and then when I piled them up and then put them out they were all upright. I can kind of relate to this pile because it's stressing me out. For example, last week I was starting to feel really frustrated with my teen because I felt like I couldn't rely on them. Which I'm not wrong about LOL so clearly I didn't learn anything from this pile. I was out on one day last week and when I'm out my boss has to do this one tiny thing and she didn't do it. And I had already argued with her earlier in the week because I didn't feel like she was respecting my process I have for this big thing that I manage. And then she went and did that and I was so frustrated I was like I think I just need a mental health day. And also I wanted her to be responsible for fixing what she broke.

I bring this up because I feel like this is kind of the vibe of this pile as well. The Chipmunk/success card which talks a lot about you know either it's a good thing or potentially a bad thing but there are other ways to go about finding success and finding these different or shorter ways to get there. In the book I mean it sees this as positive but I don't know why I keep thinking of this as a there are no shortcuts. Now this could be two things. It could be that you do find a different way to approach how you get to success. Or it could be that you don't appreciate working with people who don't work as hard as you and are always taking shortcuts. I'm sure it applies in both ways because I also got the star card

Both cards are about doing things in a very individualistic and unique way. And that's why I think when you aren't working alone or like in a freelance situation that you can get really frustrated with people who don't work to your standard or you know you have your own way of doing something so when somebody else has another way of doing it or does it respect the way that you do it then you get frustrated.

Because what's interesting is the clear your mind card and the unleash your kind of self are both a bit leading toward that maybe you can be rather stubborn or even bossy at work. Granted this could be all about somebody you are dealing with at work that is like this so take it how it resonates. Because if you're like I'm not this way the other person is this way. And that could be but also it could be that you are also a little bit this way as well.

But clear your mind is more about like focusing so much on the negative and what you don't want that you aren't focusing on what you actually want. So I would say you know you're focusing a lot more on the negative which is getting in the way of enjoying the work or getting what you want. Basically you're kind of getting in your own way. Granted it's totally valid to get frustrated with team members if they aren't pulling their way or if they're making things difficult. But I mean obviously there are healthy ways to deal with that. Although if you're in my position where a lot of the issues stem from your boss, you're kind of limited in how you can correct those actions. I've had plenty of very honest and open conversations with my boss but she's really incapable of taking that in.

So in that case I would say if you can't change the other person you have to work on what you need to change within yourself so that they don't work you up. I'm not saying that's easy or even possible but let's throw that out there. The other card which is unleash your kind of self also talks about you know don't expect others to do things the way that you want them to be done. And basically you know being as kind as possible even when you're stressed out or under pressure.

Again it's a card about focusing too much on the negative. Which can definitely when you are in that mind space or that vibe or that wavelength or whatever you want to call it can clearly pose obstacles to manifesting things you do want. Because you're just in that negative energy and then you're going to attract more negative energy. And you aren't going to feel very creative and you're not going to have fun.

And I kind of see that in the other tarot cards backing it up here. So we have the six of cups, I'm pretty sure this was reversed when I got it. So there's a sense again of not having fun. Like six of cups of course can be something to do with the past or reciprocity and then it can be about children or child like nature or Joy. So it's like you're focusing so much on the negative that you've kind of lost track of the joy or what you like about the job. Granted you could just be tired of a job and ready to quit. And this could just be telling me that you know these are the struggles that you're going through and why you would want to quit. Now if you don't want to quit then maybe we can talk about what you can do to still enjoy your job

Another thing I want to point out is that you could be quite stressed out in your job right now because even though I'm looking at the six of cups up right now, she's holding on to her stomach. Which is making me think of stomach issues related to stress so again it's kind of like joyless what you're doing right now. So I wonder if the stress is causing some type of physical manifestation for you. If you've had to take sick days or you just have been feeling tired or you haven't been feeling well. It's not especially work related but you might also be feeling kind of insecure right now about your physical appearance.

You might be feeling like you've put on some weight and again this could be related to stress. You could be losing weight as well because of stress but when you look at your reflection in the mirror something about it kind of bothers you. The other thing is that you could be projecting a lot onto other people. Like when you're actually mad at somebody you might be projecting some type of insecurity that you're having. And I say this because you know in this six of cups card, there's a reflection and it's giving like okay I'm looking in the mirror and at this reflection and she looks like she's in pain really. So it's kind of like you're looking at something and you're not liking what you see.

So again this could apply to that kind of situation that I just described as well as you know you just aren't liking what you see around you in terms of your job. I'm sensing a lot of frustration. I am still sensing like some stubbornness on your part. That you like things done a particular way and again when they're not it's causing a lot of friction.

Next to that is the five of pentacles. Which again there's a sense of either needing some kind of assistance or feeling kind of at a loss about something. Just being in kind of a negative headspace so again I'm just sensing like you're kind of in a rut with your job or studies or whatever type of career situation that you're in. You might be feeling like you're taking everything on by yourself and you're not getting the help that you need for this job. Or maybe you're feeling unappreciated.

Next to that is the ten of wands. So it might be that you've actually been feeling like this for a while or it moves in cycles where sometimes it's okay and kind of fun and then the same thing keeps repeating over and over. In the picture it looks like she's juggling fire so you might have a lot of responsibilities and you might be juggling a lot of things and you might have to be managing a lot of people or just dealing with a lot of people at once. It always feels like you have to put out fires.

And this can be really any kind of job from like an office job to working in customer service. Because of the Aquarius card as in the star card here, it does make me think that you are a very unique thinking individual, a multi-talented individual. You might have a unique way of doing your job or how you think or it could just be a characteristic of your personality as well. You might have a unique taste in music or a unique way of dressing. You might sometimes feel that the way you do your job or how you think people should do the job is unique to you. You might struggle with finding other people who you think work is hard as you do.

And then the other card is the nine of pentacles which I think was also reversed. So another sense of not taking care of yourself. Some of you may need a vacation if it's this bad. You may need to take a spa day. But to me it seems like you're not able to express yourself. Again you could be having physical issues and you might need to do some kind of annual exams to check on your health.

So what can you do. Because it sounds like you are in a stressful situation. You clearly have a lot of talents. I think you can organize and do things in a pretty quick or unique way that maybe other people couldn't do your job like you do or as well as you do. But it's really getting to you. Either the workload is getting to you. The processes for how you work within the team or how the business works are kind of irritating you. Or you're following it but other people aren't following it. I see you as somebody who is actually pretty quick with when they have a task. I'm more inclined to say it's at a job that you've been at at least for a while. A while being like probably past a year even 2 years plus or even longer.

I'm just getting a sense of frustration and burnout. So here are the options right. When you get to this point it might be time for a new job. That would be I won't say the extreme option but this could just be the tail end of a job and you're ready to move on. Now if you aren't ready to move on and you just want to figure out what you can do, there are some bits of advice in here. On the one hand I think you just need to have some space and take a break and give yourself an opportunity to refocus on what you want and what makes you happy within the job and what you actually have power over. Like think about you know what is frustrating you and is it about you. Are you not communicating something to somebody who's frustrating you. Is it a process that you can bring up to your manager that isn't working or people aren't following it. Is it you also becoming so frustrated that you're starting to take your anger or frustration out on other people or only focus on the negative.

A lot of it is also the longer that you are in this kind of vibe of negativity that the worse it's going to get. You're just going to get more frustrated. The Chipmunk could also be saying you know maybe you're over complicating things in some areas. Your feelings are still valid but still take a deep reflection about what you're thinking and why you're thinking it and how you're projecting it. Because maybe there's an easier solution here than you think.

Let's also kind of look at what's here. We have Aquarius, we have Gemini, we have Capricorn. When you put those together in terms of a career. Capricorn already kind of is about success in the career and following the rules and being organized and on top of things. We have Gemini which is about intellect, communication, authenticity, and wit and cleverness. We have Aquarius which can have to do with communication as well especially with online communication, it has to deal with community, it has to do with technology, and it can be about ingenious or unique ways of thinking that could help solve certain solutions.

This could be indicative of your personality. This could be indicative of what kind of career field you're in. You have technology and communication and work and organization. This makes me think of marketing or working in it or tech stuff. Publishing. I mean it can honestly be a lot of things when you combine communication and technology and work. But it really is giving a lot of project managing vibes.

I see you as somebody when you have a goal and you could have multiple goals as in multiple tasks to do for this job. But I do feel like you try to put your all into the goal. I think you have a pretty strong work ethic. I think you could work in a fast-paced environment but that can stress you out after while. I think you're good with responsibility. I think you can be a little stubborn and temperamental and when under pressure I won't see you crack but like you know you feel the weight of it.

I think that you're a perfectionist in a lot of ways. I do think that when people don't do things the way you want them to you can get frustrated. So you really need to think that other people have their own ways of doing it that work for them. Yes you're going to work with some people who are just lazy but other people just need to work in a different way. And you need to just worry about what you can do and what you can handle and when people don't meet a deadline then that's not necessarily your responsibility. Granted you could be like well then that means I don't meet my deadline. But you can only do what you can do.

If it's a recurring issue then you need to find a mature way of handling that with open communication.

Let's kind of look at the elements and numbers. We have 65109 and 8. We have water, Earth, fire, Earth. There is air in the sense of Gemini and the star. So everything is here. This is sort of random I was thinking about why a seven wouldn't be here and what seven is in the tarot... So this could be either a solution or an issue. Because those cars typically are about choices or lack of clarity, patience, defending yourself, and maybe even like some sabotage. This could be things that are occurring and work. You could feel like you don't have as much control. There could be like gossip or sabotage happening. There could be a lack of patience on your or others parts. And sometimes even a lack of direction or clarification from a manager. I wouldn't normally be like hey this card isn't here but like I feel really drawn to the fact that we had all of those numbers except for a seven. Or you can go look up numerology and see. I kind of forget what seven is supposed to mean.

But I do think finding a sense of Joy or something that excites you again and focusing on that will make a big difference. When it comes to goals, it could be like I don't know what I'm saying. Let me just look at the art of the cards.

Because it's interesting that this chipmunk is kind of looking at the star card. So we're looking at how to achieve maybe a big goal as well as a bunch of smaller goals. An issue again could be thinking that you can achieve those goals in a quick way. Or it is that you can work smarter and not harder. I don't really believe that. I think some things can be easier in a job. As in like you could over complicate things and there are processes that could be made to make things more easy. I don't really believe you can achieve excess without working hard and putting the time in. So I am more inclined to think about this as not telling you that success can be achieved with shortcuts.

I think it's more there's a different way of looking at how you are viewing achieving a goal. And that seems to tie in with the card that talked about you aren't really focusing on what you want or the good part of getting to that goal. There's more focus on what's keeping you from the goal or what you don't like about achieving it or that it's not happening fast enough. I just see you have all these different kinds of goals or tasks when it comes to career and there's a frustration maybe that it's not happening fast enough. And that maybe you are contemplating different ways to get there.

It could even be that you are just in the wrong job. And you think that maybe this job will lead to a bigger thing to what you want to do or you keep thinking about let's say you want to publish a book but right now you have to maintain a job to pay rent. And it's kind of connected because maybe your current job has to do with writing copy for marketing or something. But like it's just not really getting you to what you originally wanted to do which was write a book. In fact it's actually keeping you from working on that goal because you're always working on stuff and then when you get home you're tired.

So I see this little chipmunk as working and working and working and he's looking at the star card and he's getting frustrated because he's like I wanted to achieve all these different goals and I'm not getting there. It's not happening, it's not moving fast enough. I feel like I'm getting further away. I'm feeling burnt out. I'm feeling tired. I don't have the energy to even like go after those goals.

And then the card seemed to be saying okay clear your mind. And unleash your kindest self. And I think that's not only reminding you to not project onto others but also to be kind to yourself. Which ties in with that nine of pentacles energy especially if it really was reversed. You're being too hard on yourself. You need to be more careful about your physical health. You need to focus on the things that satisfy you. Because if you are working in a way that you're trying to please a manager but like your manager doesn't even care or respect what you do. Then what's the point? Focus more on what you're getting out of it and if this job isn't satisfying that. And there's something out there that you would rather be doing. I would say the cards indicate they do want you to go for that. Really the guards indicate that they're just validating how you feel. I'm not saying a suggestion here to quit your job and go. This seems more like an introspective like you really need to like stop and think about what you want. Take a pause and just like focus on in this moment how to get yourself back to the wavelength that you need to be in to be productive and to manifest. Because right now you're not in that vibe of being able to manifest your goals anyway. So it's saying you need to get back into that positive headspace where you can start being creative and can I guess I want to say empress energy right in the terms of you do have to be in a certain vibe and a certain headspace to create or to pull things towards you. And you aren't in that headspace so right now the advice is get into that headspace and then my advice would be then you can probably think about what you truly want to do. Do you need to change something about your job or the way that you look at the job or the way that you look at your processes or how you interact with people. Or are you done with this job and you need to figure out how you can achieve the goals that you've always wanted to do.

But if you don't find the fun or joy in what you do and if you've tried to do that and nothing is changing. I'm going to tell you that it's time. And like I said if you're unable at this time to just randomly quit a job or find another job then you have to find other strategies like this chipmunk is saying. Like in the short term how can you get your job done and not become angry all the time I guess.

I guess the next thing we can do is look at colors or timing. Again anything to do with Aquarius or Gemini or Capricorn in terms of the planets right now or in terms of upcoming seasons, those could be significant for you. The fact that you have last quarter and first quarter give me the senses of a cycle. Like this isn't something that's just starting in your job, this could be something that you've felt on multiple occasions. Without much of a solution.

The colors are that I'm getting like a lot of blues and purples and greens. So like there's that communication and heart chakra stuff and a little bit of that spiritual thing. So this to me is like you know thinking and communicating what your your heart wants and like what your true calling or purpose is. So I would actually guess you are in the wrong place because it's like okay I know I have this purpose and I kind of like have a calling or I'm feeling pulled to a certain direction but you just might not be there. I really think you're in a situation that like it's timed out. Like you've learned everything you need to learn and there are better opportunities out there for you.

So I really want you to think about what you can do right now and then you know what you really want to do and maybe think about why you're actually frustrated. It might not just be that oh so and so messed up and did this or that but really it's about you know you're just tired of this job and you don't want to be here anymore. So everything that goes wrong is frustrating even makes you think more about how you're miserable or you don't want to do this or whatever doesn't work. And that could be a sign that this isn't for you. Granted you could just be in a rut and going through something right now and it's not that extreme. But even so you need to take a step back and give yourself room to think. Because it feels like you're so stuck in this rut that you can't really see past it. So I would suggest you take a sick days and like a mental health day, go on a vacation. Start if you're able, to go into your calendar and take 2 hours out of each day to like work on a specific task or to take a walk or do a task that you actually like to do as opposed to you have to do. And don't let anybody contact you or bother you. But you need to carve out some time that's just for you so that you can have a break and a breather and also have a sense of control.

The other thing I see here is a lot of people looking at the moon so I would suggest you know listen to your intuition and what your body is saying. Again I'm really being drawn to the sense of stress at your job affecting your physical health. Another suggestion that might take your mind off of things in the negative is to if you've had an interest in a skill that would just like make you feel better about life. Like learning another language or learning to knit or learning to cook or to like dance or do something special with working out. Take the class. Anything that will make you feel better and take your mind off of work will be good here. I see a lot of things pointing to you know focusing on your inner self and the thing is that make you happy. Not just at work but like outside of work. I feel like you're too work focused at the moment. Or just too much focused on the negative of a lot of things. So do what you can to put yourself in a better mind space and then you can kind of go from there. Hope that helps!

Pile 2

As I recall, I feel like there are similarities in all three piles. I see some connections in this pile to pile one and as I remember there are some similarities to pile three.

I mean given the state of the world and the things going on, I can see why the stress is ramped up for everybody already when working tends to have its own stresses as is but not everybody has to balance like the world falling apart while still working because you have to pay bills and then your usual stress is at a job and then when you combine them it's just a lot.

So basically the dragonfly card is about a Harmony of thoughts and action. It says upright like a dragonfly hovering above water, you are healthy and confident. Your physical skill is matched by your mental and emotional strength. Reverse it would be you have stumbled into an unhealthy obsession. Recall the way a dragonfly shifts direction with ease and aim for the same nimbleness of thought. That's kind of interesting because the first group had the chipmunk and I was trying to kind of figure out like when in life would shortcuts ever be good but it also has that same message about simplifying things. Like when things get stressful or complicated you still have to find a way to balance that out with the good so that you don't fall in one way or the other. When you think about the dragonfly you know the way it zigs and zags and moves like it's very quick, it's very efficient, it's very mobile, flexible. Which is almost kind of like a Stark contrast to the knight of pentacles.

This card is about moving kind of slowly, efficiently, but like thoroughly. You know this isn't somebody who would take the shortcut. In fact they would be the opposite. So I wonder if the balance here is you know being able to work through something thoroughly and slowly but then that also has to be a bit of flexibility to what you do. This could be literally about how you do certain work or what your job entails. Maybe you have to be flexible of mind in your job as well as work hard. These are great attributes to anybody who would be a good worker at a job.

It could also indicate that you have a lot of short-term as well as long-term projects that you have to juggle. But I'm seeing somebody who I guess it makes sense that there's a Gemini card in this mix too because it has to be somebody who works hard but is also very flexible of mind. You have to be able to adapt well to situations very quickly.

So then we get to the next card which is the full moon in Gemini and it says embrace the flow of. So this is making me think more of the dragonfly and we're being drawn to this idea of the balance that is needed is to go more with the flow than to be about rigid rules or a rigid way of doing something or ever a rigid way of thinking about any kind of situation. For example like feeling like you're only ever going to be at this job or you're only ever going to be at this skill level. That's only going to cause more obstacles along the way.

The focus of the positive not that it's not important to be a hard worker and to do things thoroughly but to keep in mind that for you it makes more sense to be able to remain open-minded and open to new situations or a new way of thinking or if you've done something a certain way all your life but then somebody comes along and presents this new way that could actually be better, you might want to consider it. The two of cups came out reversed. This can also talk about an imbalance. Two of cups can be about a relationship and we can talk about that as well but it can also refer to like a a messed up kind of like inner balance which makes sense given we have a balance card.

But it also suggests to me that a lot of your stress might be coming from one-sided relationships or colleagues who aren't doing their share so again if this resonates a little bit you might want to look at pile one if you felt drawn to that as well. It's possible that you have been having arguments with people at work or having issues with your boss. It could be that people you work with aren't meeting deadlines and it's screwing up your projects or you feel like somebody is a slacker. Are not doing things the way that you would think that they should do them.

Honestly I've heard a couple of people talk like this at work. I've also been feeling this so this is probably just like a universal thing at this point and not just you. A lot of frustration with other people. A lot of feeling like people are dropping the ball while you have to do all the work. So yeah I can see that like interactions with people might be throwing off your own inner balance. Six of wands but in the reverse. So this is an issue with successes. Again you could feel that other people are dropping the ball or you feel like you've been making a lot of mistakes lately or you're feeling unappreciated or you're not getting what you want out of work or you're feeling like you're not getting credit for all the work that you do.

And then we have the page of wands. Which will come back to because the pages are always weird until you get to the other cards. We have transformation which in this deck is actually the death card. So a lot to do with change or cycles or subconscious issues. We have the star in reverse so it feels like again goals aren't being obtained or you're not feeling like you're being heard or you feel like you're not being able to be your authentic self or express yourself. And then the five of swords which again is more of that conflict. You could have even had verbal conflicts with people you work with or like feeling competitive like maybe other people are getting more credit and you think you deserve credit and so on or their special treatment.

To me when I am looking at this page of wands. I'm seeing a match like a single match and it's like a mix of things. On the one hand it makes me think of somebody's temper and then on the other hand it makes me think of just like a spark which could be creative or an attitude or like just like somebody who has a bit of how do I want to put it kind of sassy and you're just feeling kind of overwhelmed. And I kind of feel like there's a match can go either way right. You can ignite it and it can turn into like a big fire or if it gets a little dampened it can go out and sizzle. And I'm kind of feeling like okay the fire is small and it can go one way or the other. I can tell you have passion. I can tell that will stick up for yourself if you need to. Or if you haven't there's a desire to do that.

And I'm also saying it as depending on your actions and your choices this page of fire will ignite into something bigger and more beautiful and more creative depending on what you do. On the other hand if it goes the other way, this can be somebody who's very temperamental or just could have like a bossy or bad attitude. So there are things here that need to change. Because you have reversals in cards that relate to success, to relationships, and to being authentic or achieving goals. So we have to understand okay well there's conflict that's reversing these cards how do we put them back in the upright position.

Well a suggestion here is clearly balance and change and the page of fire is like a catalyst. So they're all kind of connected in terms of what you can do. So something has to change I don't know if this is your process or the way that you're looking at things. It could be that the answer is in embrace the flow of life and better balance and more flexibility and adaptability. Like what can you do to change the situation so that you aren't bogged down by relationship issues or goal issues at work.

Let me actually clarify transformation because I think it would help to be more specific when it comes to what needs to change for you. Because I feel like you're perfectly capable with this page of wands. Like there's something inside of you that's just dying to go off and blow up into like a king of flames. I think I'm also seeing a little bit of a lack of experience. This could be more for somebody who's just starting out in a career. Or just a little bit at a new job or it doesn't feel like the first pile which felt more like somebody who had been at a job for a while. This still feels like somebody who's kind of getting the hang of it. Granted I'm not saying that this couldn't be for people who have been but it feels more like younger people I guess. And again what's interesting about the transformation card is the girl is holding all these Sparks right so you go from this page of wands and then like you find this thing where you're able to control the fire and blow these Sparks and it feels like it's progress. So we really have to figure out you know what it is that needs to change to make that process happen for you.

Interesting so the first card is ten of swords. Again like in an annoying kind of difficult cycle that needs to come to an end. The person on the card has these wings they're looking up at the sky they're blowing out of breath to keep this feather in the air. Imagine if you had to sit here and constantly blow out breath to keep these feathers in the air. So again I'm feeling like I should tell you to go to pile one if that resonates because this feels like somebody who has a lot of responsibility and has a lot of things they're juggling and they feel like they're doing a lot of things on their own because where is somebody to help them keep these feathers up in the air but then again you ask yourself what's the point of even keeping these feathers in the air LOL like is it really as big a deal as you're making it out to be because what's the purpose. Maybe you're taking things too seriously. Maybe it doesn't have to be as serious as you make it.

Since they have a corset on it makes me think of having a difficult time breathing. So it's like you have to blow out this breath while you're being constricted. So I can see where the balance card is coming in again because it's like this is all one way. Like not only are you keeping these feathers up in the air which is a pretty pointless activity and then on top of that you're restricted and you're breathing?

Like why are you doing this to yourself? No wonder you would feel unappreciated because like nobody cares how hard your blowing feathers in the air? Like nobody asked you to work twice as hard because you decided working harder or like taking on more than you need to take on is somehow better? Like nobody asked you to put this corset on. Nobody's going to applaud you for working harder when you added that extra weight to yourself. So you need to accept that some of the responsibility is yours for how much you put on yourself or maybe you don't need to work harder. Maybe you do need to work smarter.

I also let some other cards fall out because a lot wanted to come out so we have the eight of pentacles and Three of swords and temperance which is also about balance and then the seven of pentacles in reverse. So there's some kind of growth that isn't happening, there's a lack of patience.

This is asking for more balance. As in more Work-Life balance probably. But what's weird about this temptation guard is it is very on the nose with this apple and this money talking about actual temptation that only makes me think of the devil. Oh that's because this is the devil card in this deck and I'm just dumb. But since it did make me think of temperance. Which is funny because that's balance. It still fits because it is clearly saying like there's something about working that you're just being drawn more to these rewards that don't mean anything? I really think that if you're working and hoping that you're going to get recognized or extra credit that I just don't think that's what you should be following. Because then you keep getting disappointed with this three of swords. And eight of pentacles is about skills and working so really I think you have to think about you know when it comes to your goals and what you're trying to achieve what are you doing at for it? And then like why are you getting frustrated when you aren't getting the results that you want? Actually like what do you need. Why do you need validation? Do you need to be doing something for a different reason?

Signs that are significant if we remove these clarification cards we have Gemini and Scorpio and Aquarius. So that makes me think of communication and thinking and strategy and authenticity as well as a unique way of doing something or technology and community and then what do I think of with Scorpio besides things that are hidden or subconscious or underneath.

Again I think it comes back to subconsciously you know like what are you trying to fulfill in terms of work and what's making you frustrated. Coming back to that validation thing maybe that's something you need to think about because that Scorpio element is like okay what are you really doing this for you need to think about that and think about how far you've gone from the path of your own purpose.

It's just like I feel that something about you is very stifled and this could be the stress of the work it could be the work or it could be what the work has turned you into. But the page of wands is this potential and transformation or the death card is a catalyst for turning that into something bigger. But it feels like it's been stunted. It could be like what I told pile one which is you know this could be you and a job that's just not fulfilling something and you're just frustrated. But to me you haven't reached your full potential. Either because you are denying it or because external things are denying it or both. Eileen more toward both and a lot toward internal. Almost like you're the one getting in your own way.

Like kind of what I was talking about with the ten of swords card and it's like nobody asked you to work that hard. You can get the job done fine and get credit for it without having to be like well I mean I worked 80 hours over the weekend just to get it done early and it's like nobody asked you to get it done early? And nobody's going to applaud you for doing that when you have to call in sick for the next 5 days because you worked yourself to death. Like it's not something to it wire. I'm not saying you shouldn't have a good work ethic but you should really think about are you taking on more than you should like maybe you should just be a little bit more laid back. Maybe you're being a little bit too serious and it's affecting the relationships you have with other people. And then when you start getting angry maybe that starts to show and other mistakes that you could make and other tasks. But I am seeing conflicts with people for sure. And I almost wonder if it's not just at work but also in your personal life.

And I'm going to go with I'm not saying that other people can't cause it but it's more being caused by a lack of balance within yourself and you're projecting. You're projecting a lot of stuff onto other people. You might even be projecting on to yourself if that's possible like you have these ideas of what hard work should look like or what a person who deserves credit should look like and I think that's making you do things that you don't need to do. And I think the cards are telling you to chill out a little because you're just getting in your own way by getting so rigid and so worked up and yeah. Quite similar to pile one just a little bit different. I feel like this pile is a bit more intense. Which makes sense with that Scorpio energy.

The other pile I felt like was somebody who could have been at a job for a while and they just have learned what they can and it's time to move on. This one I just feel like the person is so intense about work that they could be difficult to work with themselves and have certain expectations of others and are just way too intense about meeting goals. The first pile was more burnout and this one I just feel is like too intense. If I work with somebody who had this energy I would probably avoid them because they seem like they would be moody and temperamental and when they get really stressed they start to act out so you would just kind of avoid them. And you'd really be saying to another co-worker like damn they just need to chill out like why do they always get so stressed out under pressure like it's not that deep. Like you would not be a great manager if I'm honest. Until you can learn to find this balance of not taking things so seriously. If you're looking at people and you're all like why am I not getting along with them or why are people avoiding me or why do I keep getting in these little fights I would say it might be more you than you think.

I'm also wondering if in some ways you're not being as authentic as you could be. I mean on the other hand it could be that you are taking shortcuts like for example you have a job and you've been using a lot of chat GPT to do write-ups and you aren't actually learning what you need to or putting yourself into the work that you do. And that could be an example of trying to find the easy way out that's not good. The only thing I can say to make it easier is just to physically imagine in your mind's eye what it means to be balanced. And maybe that could be a meditation for you or try meditations about balancing. I wonder if a lot of you are Gemini or like Scorpio with a bit of Aquarius in there.

I'm definitely picking up a lot of Gemini and Scorpio energy. And like maybe some kind of strong fire like Aries because like I just feel somebody who's do you know who veruca salt is. That's kind of what I'm getting from this. And that doesn't mean like I'm saying you're a bad guy. Because people with really bold and sometimes temperamental personalities can be very interesting. As long as they don't move into that kind of Elon musk attitude. But I'm trying to think of somebody who's like a chaotic bold female. Sometimes you see them in politics or I'm trying to think of somebody that is like that but isn't negative you know. Because I do think there's that balance of you can be this type of person and it's easy to become a jerk. It's easy to become arrogant. Entitled. So you do want to get away from being like that. Or full of yourself.

I think a positive example of this would be Miley Cyrus now. Like there was nothing wrong with how she was when she was young but I mean now she's very bold and very outspoken and she does what she wants and she's a bit wild but she's not burning down in anybody's house. Although she could. I'm sure something could flip and she would. But she's mostly been using her power for good lately. Almost Lady Gaga but like no this energy is more vicious. Wild. Pretty sure Lady Gaga is a Taurus. I mean she could be in Aries but like she comes off more as a Taurus although I know some Aries who are like that they're kind of like restrained but cool. It doesn't matter my point is this is more Miley Cyrus and it does lean more toward talking about somebody being in that younger energy or it's more chaotic and scary and even mean.

And I'm not saying that's all of you I've probably gotten off track a little bit but like as I sit here with the energy like maybe the potential of where this could lead if you don't find balance is more into that energy where you become entitled and bitter and angry and arrogant and like I'm the only one who can do this right and nobody else can do it the way that I want so everybody else is wrong. And you don't want to get into that energy so I think this is even if it doesn't feel like this speaks to you like you could be headed in this direction.

So now's the Time be more authentic to yourself and go with the flow more and be more adaptable and flexible and that includes not just with yourself but with other people. Or else I kind of feel like you're going to get in the way of your own successes. Significant times for you of course could be the Scorpio season or Gemini season or something happening with the planets and those signs. Maybe even Sagittarius because I keep being drawn to the idea of the temperance card. But yes Scorpio season could be a little bit rough for you or there could be a really a big change. There could be a big change in a relationship. Or you could actually be meeting something. Not meeting something but meeting someone during this time. They could be an Aquarius they could be a Gemini. I hate to say it but I almost wonder if you're going to be needing like a karmic person who's going to teach you a lesson. All of those are possibilities

But yeah a much more intense pile than I thought

Also sometimes when cards are reversed I can consider them like things that just haven't happened. So that's why I bring in okay stuff with relationships because look at what you have reversed which is a two of cups which could mean okay you could be connecting with somebody in the future and you haven't met them yet, this could be related to a six of wands event like some type of success so it could be somebody you work with that helps you achieve the success and flip the star upright and this person could be an Aquarius. The other option is more than a single person you can achieve success through good and solid relationships like working more as a team.

Not trying to be the boss but working as a team I think that's where you're going to find more success. And the more that you have negative interactions with people you work with I feel like that's going to interfere with the 6s you actually have so I think that has to be the transformation is really focusing on how you work with other people. Become more of a team player and I think you'll see more successes than if you try to do everything on your own. And also scaling back what you think is working harder. If you're doing unnecessary stuff because you think that doing these extra things makes you like better or cooler than maybe not. Like extending that much energy on one thing when you could spread out the energy to do more things or you could achieve different or better results working with other people.

I guess the other thing I could say is when you look at this page of wands, like there's potential here but there's not a lot happening but when you look at the transformation card, she's got this fire and she's blowing it out and it's beautiful. Which I think is more of what you could accomplish working with other people as opposed to with yourself which is just going to be this kind of tiny little match that lights but like you're not getting a lot from it. But when you team up with people, you can create something bigger. You might even be more of an idea person so like you have lots of ideas but not necessarily good at executing. But when you work with a team you'd be more likely to execute your idea. And that way you might feel more fulfilled because then a project isn't just like what you had in mind it's like a thousand times better because you had other people working on it with you. And the other advice I would say is like not being envious of other people just like being able to appreciate others skills. Everybody has different skills and some people might have skills that you don't have and you don't have to be jealous of that you can just be like wow here's a person who can do this and I can do this and together we can build this thing which I couldn't have done alone. I think maybe you struggle with that a little bit that's it

Pile 3

I feel like pile three is the potential of pile 2 if pile 2 chills out. And maybe even the potential of pile one if they also chill out. Like to me this is very super boss energy. Like a lot of success, a lot of abundance, a lot of creativity, this to me seems like somebody who's mature and well adjusted so if you're a hot mess, this might not be the pile for you or you should go read the other piles and then think about how this one could be your potential.

We do have this devotion card which I'll just point out the number because it happens to be five which is often the card about change or challenges. So I would say you know you wouldn't have gone through your career without any challenges but like I feel like you're at the peak right now. I didn't read this card to everybody but I think I feel called to read you the whole thing. So the sheep and blackberry call us to focus on our commitments, whether they're on a partner, a job, a creative practice, or a spiritual tradition. Sheep are innocent and vulnerable and must be watched over and guided. Blackberries are symbols of protection with their large brambling thorns.

Their abundant fruit also symbolizes prosperity. Combining the energies of the two gives us direction: on our are promises, allowing them to fruit and flourish. Upright and what people or practices do you find wisdom and stability? Remember to care well for these sources of guidance and protection. The reverse would be you can be your own guide. Your wisdom comes from within rather than without and it is your responsibility to impart this gift as a mentor or teacher. How can I better care for my relationships, spiritual practices, or work?

Well I'd like to think that this group has basically achieved that or on the other hand let's say you are a hot mess and I just scared you, this could be your potential? Like it's wanting you to know that even you might be having a difficult time right now with work which if you are I would go read the other piles or whichever one you might have been drawn to and then come back and reflect on if you can fix those things this is the kind of pile that you could achieve.

So I think the sheep kind of represents somebody who did find the perfect balance of work like being able to appreciate how a team works, being able to appreciate the talents and others, finding that perfect balance of work life situations, finding something that they enjoy doing, they've found how to interact with people and not be frustrated or if there are frustrations they've found a healthy way of working it out I don't see like a lot of stress and upset here if I'm honest. This is probably the most well-balanced and mature type of energy you could have. There's also a lot of success like I said.

I don't think Liz is just like came about like somebody graduated from college and then went to work and just like this happened. This feels like somebody who's accomplished a perfect balance over a long period of time. That's what I get from the death/ Scorpio card. I know Scorpio season is kind of not far away but like there must be something in Scorpio right now that's having a lot of effect. I don't know if we have a Scorpio Moon or something else is in Scorpio. But it's had a heavy presence and a lot of the readings. It's interesting that the death card and the king of wands are kind of facing off. That tells me that this king of wands isn't afraid of change. This is somebody who goes the flow of change and like whatever obstacles they've come across they've faced head on and gone through and they've learned lessons from this.

It's interesting because it also gives off manager energy like somebody who is capable of being a mentor or is already like an independent leader like in a freelance situation or just like is good at inspiring the people that work under them. I do see them as a great leader like definitely you would want somebody who is this king of wands who can face off with death wouldn't that be amazing? They would make a great boss. It's also interesting that like all of the animals are like two horses and a sheep like all these four-legged animals. It makes me think of the number four. We have stability. We have reliability. Good organization. A solid structure. Very strong here. And it could be intense in a good way. I really think this is pile two if pile two matured and followed my advice.

Let's look at the other oracle card. You're the only group that got another one of these woodland wardens cards. So let's look at that one. The horse and Blue Bell it says modest fortitude. Again totally feeling like this is if pile 2 grew up and matured. Because this is somebody who would understand the importance of teamwork. Of working hard. Of like not trying to outshine anybody necessarily. Like you can shine on your own and still help other people shine is what I'm getting from this. Very strong. Very modest. Very humble. This isn't somebody who feels the need to brag but is just confident with their own achievements because they know what they've done and they know themselves and what they're capable of.

Let me read you this part of the card it says able to Bear great loads and travel long distances, it is known for its Superior strengths and stamina. Taken together, the horse and Blue Bell remind us that the greatest feats are the result of much humble practice.

And this again makes me feel somebody who is used to a lot of hard work and has come out of it through an understanding of teamwork and what it takes to be a good leader. It says upright work quietly and consistently. The time to shine will present itself in the future; for now, focus on your process rather than its reward.

Again that's like taking away an element of ego has caused this person to succeed in an amazing way. Maybe somebody who started off either quite slowly and then progressed into something like this or somebody who could have been a bit more chaotic and then they learned a lesson and then the lesson has resulted in them having a better appreciation for what a good leader would be. Which is somebody who can work with a team as opposed to somebody who like needs all the attention and all that validation and all the credit and needs to be a superstar. Although I still think you can be a superstar and be like humble and a good leader and somebody for someone to look up to.

This definitely gives the energy of if you're struggling then your hard work and efforts will pay out eventually.

I mean what else can I say you have the wheel of Fortune. This is also about cycle and changes and good luck and Fortune. You could be working in areas related to Sagittarius. This could be fields in education or like spiritual or religious work. I just get the sense of somebody with good luck and abundance at this point. Somebody who's just matured and gone through a bunch of cycles. The empress again has that boss energy. You know this is somebody mature and in charge and capable of caring about other people. It's also about manifestation and like growing and reaping the rewards from something. And then again it's almost the same energy as this queen of cups. This is somebody who's very good at like allowing other people to have their limelight. Somebody who's compassionate and empathetic. Creative. A good listener. This person would just be an amazing boss. I would cry. And then you have the page of cups. Which I think this again goes back to what somebody started as as like a page of cups and then they went to these different processes through work and then became the queen of cups. And the queen of cups is often thinking back to when she was a page and reflecting on what she went through.

So when she becomes a boss she doesn't want other people to go through the same things as she did so she has created a workplace where other people can thrive. Because she's learned some kind of important lesson along the way that you can get more out of your own employees or more out of your work experience by being compassionate or empathetic. And again this last quarter moon and Taurus be proud of yourself. I mean look at all you've accomplished and where you've come from and now where you are.. if you got this pile like I really like to hear what you do if you do resonate.

Again I don't want you to be discouraged if you don't think this is you because I really do feel like I'm supposed to tell you that this is the potential for a lot of you. But you really need to probably go look at the other piles or none of the piles work for you I guess but like this to me is more likely to be somebody's potential pile and like so go back to one or two.

Maybe even all three will end up resonating but I still think pile one and pile 2 have slightly separate energies to slightly different people like if you're kind of having a difficult time but you yourself have a very intense energy. Like Scorpio and Aries type of energy mixed. Then pile too might be your pile. Pile one is more air signs I think. Like Gemini and Aquarius and then it had Capricorn kind of energy so very like air with a bit of Earth type people might resonate with pile one. A little bit less intense in personality and perhaps more anxious and having sometimes difficult times communicating things to other people. That could be your pile.

A lot of the cards are facing toward the right which would be the future. So this person would focus more on the potential or what can happen in the future as opposed to reflecting on the things that didn't work out in the past. That doesn't mean you can't still look back at your life lessons because I mean that's where you pull when you learned your strengths or weaknesses. But like for the most part this person is focusing forward. They're only interested in the future and they aren't interested in focusing on the past. Significant times for you could be Scorpio season as well as Libra or Taurus or Sagittarius. Taurus came up twice since the empresses Libra or Taurus energy. So a lot of you may be a Taurus of some kind or have that in your chart or again Taurus season may be a big deal for you. Like you might really come into your own. You might even start a new job or you might get a raise or like I should say come into a management role or some other type of team leading role.

I do think in terms of wounds that were healed for this person understanding the importance of relationships, having better more healthy relationships, surrounding themselves with their tribe I guess or creating their own tribe by like hiring people that they think would work well in a certain environment. Becoming more like centered and spiritual and having that spiritual balance has helped this person. Just having a better understanding of how the world works as in like a bigger picture of how people and things work together and a better understanding of their emotions and how other people can thrive and like encouraging that kind of environment. Like this person has really chilled out. I don't think this necessarily is a person that always knew what they were doing. This is a person who has reached a position based on lessons or even mistakes. You couldn't just possibly be born this way. Like I would say oh it would have to be somebody that's like born into royalty but obviously being royalty doesn't make you a good person. Being born into a rich family doesn't make you a good person. Rather the opposite oftentimes.

So this is a person that would have had to just like learned and matured and like really took on the lessons that they were supposed to learn in the end you know. I would expect them to be older. Either like really emotionally mature to become this I mean you could be in your late 20s and achieve this if you were emotionally mature and just that intellectually and self-aware. Because I don't feel like this person has to be in their 50s to have gone through so many things. This person could be somebody who starts their own social media empire at like 28 but they've just learned so many things by being a part of so many different situations and paying attention and keeping their eye on the prize and like when there was an obstacle instead of giving up or getting upset they like allowed themselves to feel that way and then got up and like figured out a solution to that situation without running away.

Yeah it's just like super girl Boss energy and not just like girl boss in the sense of somebody who's independently achieved success but is actually a dick in real life. This person is just like a cool person. I don't really know Selena Gomez in person but like I watched her on Amy poehler's good hang podcast. And she's probably not perfect by any means. I know she has a lot of anxious energy and she's probably had personal conflicts but it's somebody for you to think about. So we have this person who has been in the game a long time of Hollywood and has lived a public life for people to see the different things that she's gone through. But now she has like her own businesses and oh I'm like makeup empire or whatever and she also tries to like be a good person and have good relationships with people. And is trying to live authentically and help others through the challenges that she's had with her health. That's the kind of energy I'm getting from this. Perhaps her even like older. Maybe her more like in her forties if she becomes really content in herself and is less anxious.

But yeah somebody who has like a business empire but like still cares about people and cares about their workers and cares about the products that they put out and is relatively emotionally mature. I'm not trying to say that this represents somebody who's perfect but it's more about the potential and what they try to be. Nobody is perfect but this person is trying to live up to this idea of a good person. That's not quite right but like an admirable person. A fair boss. Like somebody who works hard and expects others to work hard but doesn't make work their entire life and knows that it shouldn't be the employee's entire life. But again this feels like a projection to me this isn't like a reality and that's okay. For the most part this person is what I'm saying but at the same time this is a strong projection of what this person wants to be for themselves.

It's not how they want other people to view them although I'm sure they would like that but this is how they themselves want to be for themselves. Like they want to be this good person you know. So they turned themselves into this person that they imagine. They manifested this version of themselves right. It didn't just happen and nobody did it to them like because they aligned themselves with how they thought of what they wanted to be in the future they became that. Which is maybe what manifestation is. I hear that's what it is. I haven't really felt like I ever manifested something properly so I'm not really sure how it works but that sounds about right.

So this could be you and if it was you you wouldn't really need to read a pick a card like this unless it was just for fun but for most of you I think this was supposed to be an encouragement for you to see what you could be and that nobody else has control over what you can become besides yourself. So you might think well my boss is keeping me from this and my co-workers are keeping me from this but in reality you're just keeping yourself from this. Like you have the power and control to aspire to be whatever you want to be because all you have to do is act that way and then eventually you can become it. It's not devoid of challenges but like the point is how you handle those things and what you learn from them.

It's okay for you to be angry or upset but like at some point you have to move on from that. And most of these cars are giving me this sort of like this is the future. This is the future I'm imagining. So again like I've said you know people who've already achieved this don't need to be validated through a card reading. This is more about what your life could be if you believe it. Some of you might also have like a fire planet and Scorpio this would pretty much be like Mars in Scorpio or like Jupiter in Scorpio. It doesn't have to be I'm just feeling like with Scorpio here this is also a lot about breaking down barriers and breaking down these self-imposed limitations. And then not just that but learning how to use that to your own advantage somehow is what I see this King of wands doing. This person has really figured it out. It's pretty admirable. And if I had to tell you about the energy of this person it's just that they've learned how to be optimistic and they only think about the best outcomes of situations or they don't think about it as like if this business fails like I'm a failure it's like well if this one thing doesn't work out then maybe I need to tweak this or like I need to go and try this route or like I need to combine this and this instead and it's not about a failure it's about a little bit learned each time.

So definitely somebody could have their own business or it's not giving like CEO to me it's like somebody who creates their own product or their own business or their own brand. Because that king of wands tends to be that more independent worker or freelance person. It's not giving CEO to me unless you become CEO of your own like makeup brand you created. And then you would stay Hands-On with it pretty much. And you would care about the products you put out. And you would probably go on to have other little businesses. It feels like somebody who has multiple things in the fire as the kids say lots of brands in the fire? It's interesting though that there's not a lot of air energy coming through. Only a little bit with the empress because that has that bit of Libra/ Taurus.

But I think that accounts for this relationship stuff with the cup cards coming out. Somebody who just understands the strength of relationships and how that can lead to something that you want to build. I think also you know what that could say this lack of sores is like they've learned to not overthink it and that they are going with the flow. And for this person at least not overthinking or not worrying about things being so overly logical has helped them achieve. They've kind of been LED more by their instinct and interests and feelings. Anyway hope that helps!
