Pile 1: Blue Deck
Avoiding Disaster
For your spread, I’m using the traditional Rider-Waite tarot deck. You have one major arcana card, The Tower, Reversed. I sense that you’re either going to avoid a major career disaster.
How do you know the signs? This card represents the Christian god’s wrath and judgment against the people who built the Tower of Babel. I believe you’ve created or are approaching a career path that is not in your best interest. The universe is going to tear down that career tower of yours for your own good.
If you’re making a mistake in your career, you will experience failure, and if you’re in the wrong career entirely, then it’s going towards its demise.
Expect to feel as if fate is working against you – because it is!
Your Perspective Is Wrong
The next card I want to talk about is the Six of Cups, Reversed. I love this card when it’s upright. The two children appear innocent and happy. But here, that’s not what it means. Instead, I sense that you had an idea about your future that isn’t panning out.
Although you’re probably not going to enjoy the possible disaster that is The Tower, Reversed, you’re going to avoid it because you understand that your current path is not the one you should be on. You aren’t as happy as you expected to be. Perhaps you’ve discovered what you do in your career isn’t enjoyable or you found that it’s this particular job with certain coworkers that’s harming your enjoyment.
This revelation for you was likely unsettling. You may even feel jaded and as if you were bamboozled out of your happiness.
But know this: the universe has your back. The reason you feel this now is because your spirit guides are finally helping you to understand how this is harming you and how to avoid the ultimate consequences of this path going forward.
Taking a Break
Whether you’re making a mistake in your career, in the wrong position and need to transfer, or you should change your career entirely… it’s time to take some time off. Your third card here is the Eight of Pentacles, Reversed. This is a card about doing a really good job, but as a reversal, the opposite is true.
If you continue as you are you will only face unhappiness. But the allure and temptation of the idea you had for this career have damaged your perception. To avoid this fog of dreams, take a few days or even a whole vacation before you make any major decisions.
I believe you need this break to push away the bad thoughts and habits you’ve built up. Your career tower needs to fall – and you should be the one to tear it down yourself. The good news? Once you do this, you’ll be so much happier and fulfilled in life.

Pile 2: Purple Deck
Your Dying (Career) Self
Hello, purple deck! The cards I’m using for your spread are from the Everyday Tarot. Interestingly, I pulled four cards. I meant to only pull three, but the deck was insistent on the final card.
Let’s start with the major arcana card of Death. In context here, it refers to a necessary change in your career. This change I believe has monetary value. Something you’re doing now needs to change, and if you do so, you will be rewarded financially.
Death is interesting here, however, because it’s not just change, but rebirth. I don’t get the sense that what you did in the past was all wrong, but rather that the old you must pass away for the new you and the new aspect of your career to shine.
What You Wish For
The next card I want to talk about is the Nine of Cups. This is considered the “all your wishes are coming true” card of the tarot, so I believe you need to look at what you want most in your career. Perhaps you’ve set this aside to work on later instead of now.
For example, a writer may not want to write a certain idea until they’re “ready” so they put it off… even though it’s the story they want to write most. But the universe is telling me that now is the time to start.
Whatever your wishes for your career are, now it’s time to pursue at least one of them. There is a lot of positive, abundant energy coming your way, so you should make the most of it while you can.
Reigning in Abundance
You have two cards that frame this reading which work together: the King of Pentacles and the Queen of Pentacles. When I pulled these cards, I received two distinct interpretations in my head. That means this part of the reading is going to be dependent on whether or not you’re in a relationship.
For those who are single, the King of Pentacles represents the external wealth you’re going to generate in your career. The reason you should pursue your dream right now is that you’re attracting a lot of abundance your way. They say money makes money, and in your case, your current vibrations are going to give you what you wanted materially. If you’re not already using the Law of Attraction, look into it because you’ll benefit from it more than most.
As for the Queen of Pentacles, I sense you’re not only going to be happy with this wealth generation, but you’re going to experience a shift in mindset that will help you stabilize that wealth. This will give you a lot of relief, so you’ll be able to better balance your work and personal life since you won’t have as much financial anxiety.
As for those who are in a relationship, I see the King of Pentacles and Queen of Pentacles representing both partners having career success or at least contributing to one career in such a way to increase your overall household income. This is going to allow both of you to feel very comfortable in life.

Pile 3: Yellow Deck
Resisting the Siren Song
In your spread, I’m using my favorite tarot deck of the moment, the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot. You have one major arcana card, Judgement. I sense that you were hearing the call to pursue something in life, perhaps a certain major in college or a particular career path, but something seems wrong.
The call won’t seem as powerful to you anymore and it won’t be as uplifting. The people in the card being raised from the dead are being brought back into their bodies for their final judgment. For some, this will be a bad thing, but for others, it’s a promise of paradise.
You aren’t going to listen to this call because you’re going to understand something very important: it’s not yet time for you to make a decision. You need to look elsewhere.
Your Personal Awakening
The next card I want to talk about is the Four of Swords, Reversed. You are waking up to the reality of what it is you want for yourself in a career. Swords is the suit that deals with decisions. It also has connections to the mind, so perhaps you’re realizing you need to learn more about what it is you want or go on a journey of personal discovery.
Be aware that you’ve been asleep to what your career path should have been until now. I know that when I wake up in the mornings, it takes me a little while before I can start my day. Take your time and allow yourself to practice and learn about different things. You might just be surprised what will be your calling in the end.
Claiming Your Passion
The last card in your spread is the King of Wands. I consider this reading to have more immediate applications, within the realm of one to three months, so I think you’re going to figure out your next step quickly. Maybe you’ll still need time to study or move onto a new career path, but you will know what path to take and start taking it.
That’s because this card is about the external mastery of passionate fire. Your calling isn’t just about earning more money or having a better lifestyle, but understanding what it is that motivates you and then taking hold of that fire to manifest it in the world.
I sense that whatever it is you’re going to choose, it will be a path of personal glory. This is the card of leadership and entrepreneurship. You should either be the boss or your own boss. Yes, this may take some time to achieve for certain careers, but make sure that, whatever you choose, you’ll have autonomy so you can really show the world what you’re capable of.
