Your Best Career Tarot Pick a Card
It’s not always easy to figure out what your best career would be. Perhaps you aren’t sure how to monetize your skills or you feel lost in your current profession. You have a lot of options for career guidance, but one you may not have thought about is tarot. It’s easy (and fun) with a pick a card reading.
All you must do to get started is select one of the piles of cards above that sticks out to you the most. Meditate and concentrate on each one for at least a few seconds. Imagine what you would like to do during your workday and what you wish you could avoid.
Are you drawn to one set of cards more than another? That’s your intuition speaking and that’s your tarot reading!
Once you’ve selected your cards, scroll down. The readings are divided into Pile 1, Pile 2, and Pile 3. Just remember to select your cards before you scroll down so you’re using your intuition and receiving the message the universe meant for you to hear.
This is a general tarot card reading, so take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. You also have free will — use your fortune strategically to your advantage and make changes to your career that best fit the life you want to have.
Now let’s see what your best career is according to tarot.
Pile 1
Wow, what an interesting and specific pile! The tarot card that guides your reading, the Page of Swords, Reversed, is from the suit of communication and logic. Paired with the meaning, which is a situation fraught with cunning intrigue, liars, and gossip, I sense that you’re a good fit for careers in politics, journalism, or media.
This isn’t a hit against those fields either – many people you encounter in a job like this are trying to manipulate the situation to their advantage and your goal is to prevent that. It’s not going to be easy, as the Page of Swords as a character is someone who still has a lot to learn. But I believe your curiosity and desire to advocate for the truth will push you forward.
Note that your oracle cards, Supermoon and New Moon in Sagittarius, provide some important advice about your working environment.
The Supermoon as a card represents the point in the lunar cycle when the Moon is closest to the Earth. This doesn’t happen all the time, and each instance is somewhat unique in how large the Moon appears in the sky. There is a real effect linked to tides, and some people even believe that the Supermoon can cause major natural disasters like earthquakes.
In your spread, it represents emotions that run high. This is only natural in professions where communication between people is the norm, so you’re going to need to develop strong people skills to connect and diffuse tense situations. There will also be so extremely difficult days.
Your other oracle card, the New Moon in Sagittarius occurs during the zodiac period of Sagittarius in late November and early December. Sagittarius is an adventurer and intellectually curious. In your reading, I sense that you like to start new projects that intrigue your interest often. Just be careful to finish what you start!
This Sagittarian energy pairs well with careers in politics, journalism, and media, but traditional writing also applies too. Your goal for your best career should be to find something where you’re always learning and intimately connected to other people, either face-to-face or through ideas.
One area I think you will struggle within your career and perhaps why you’ve had a hard time deciding on a good path until now is because your curiosity can cause you to abandon a lot of things you start.
While some who chose Pile 1 may enjoy writing, a large project like a novel is probably a bad idea. This is why you’re a better fit for journalism or blogging instead. You can explore a lot of topics and avoid the feeling of mental staleness. Boredom comes easily to you.
Make sure that whatever career you choose always gives you something new to work on and it’s connected to human interests. You aren’t somebody who’s going to be happy tinkering with inanimate objects all day. Drama is far more interesting because you thrive in cutting through the nonsense with your logical perspective.
Pile 2
I sense that you’re really confused about your career, and it’s starting to affect your mental health. This is because your tarot card, the Seven of Cups, suggests you have a lot of opportunities before you and you aren’t certain which path you should take.
Perhaps you have a lot of skills or interests and you can’t make a decision. Or you’re in a career you’re happy with, but a tempting offer has come your way.
You need to realize that this card is more insidious than that. Look at what’s being offered in each cup… not all appear to be positive. Some are obvious, like the snake, while others, such as the laurel leaf, suggesting a career with responsibility or where you’re a leader, actually has the figure of a skull hidden within the gold.
You don’t fully understand your options and that’s preventing you from acting. But don’t approach your decision from a logical frame of mind – you need to go with your heart and trust your intuition.
But how do you do that?
Your two oracle cards provide some important insight. The New Moon in Pisces card pairs well with the Seven of Cups in that it has a dreamy message. It also confirms what you need to do: meditate and contemplate.
I believe that your career needs to be more than even a passion and should spiritually affirm you. As a zodiac sign, Pisces has a strong connection to the spiritual world. But it’s more than just a religious connection, as Pisceans are known for being romantics. They have powerful emotions and like to express their emotions to the people they meet or through the work they do.
While you could be something like an artist, I sense the attitude of these cards is more important for you to understand from this reading. You need a career of abundance where you create or inspire positivity in the world. Your goal is to uplift spirits and fill those empty and dangerous goblets from the Seven of Cups with something better.
Look towards your spiritual energy, specifically a spiritual awakening you’ve had or are having right now, to provide insight. But it’s going to take some work. Your other oracle card, the Waxing Moon, speaks of energy that’s gaining momentum.
The truth is that you already have the answer to your best career within you. What you need to do is spend time away from the world to look inside and see what that is.
Take the advice of the New Moon in Pisces card and enjoy spiritual rituals like meditation or prayer. Get closer to your divine source so you can see what spiritual mission and spiritual gift you’ve been given. You’re at the beginning of your journey though, so be prepared for it to take some time.
Pile 3
I don’t think you’re going to like hearing this, but your best career is likely your current career – at least for this phase of your life. Your tarot card, The Chariot, Reversed, is telling me that you’re letting obstacles get in your way, so you’re discouraged from your current path.
This is causing you to look at other possible careers as an escape, but I think this could be a grave mistake. A lot of people leave a career they would truly love because their workplace is toxic, not realizing that finding a new job in the same career elsewhere is exactly what they need, not giving up entirely.
Your Full Moon in Virgo card is giving you an encouraging message that you’re already good enough. I sense that you’re receiving this message because you believe you’re inferior or you have imposter syndrome. This is making you think that your current career isn’t a good fit.
Virgo also has another connotation. It’s a sign of service to others, and its traditional place in the astrology natal chart is in the sixth house – of health, yes, but also servants and slavery.
You’re being taken advantage of and undermined, so you aren’t valuing your skills in your career. This is shrinking your perspective to more immediate concerns as you’re in survival mode.
Because you’re unable to grow in your career, you feel stuck. The problem is that you don’t see any way to make the most of your current situation.
Let’s examine the message of the other oracle card, Full Moon in Sagittarius, which has a message to look at the bigger picture. This may seem like trite and useless advice to you right now, but I think it’s key to getting past your current set of obstacles.
If you can, take a long weekend or a vacation to put some distance between you and whatever is stressing you out at work. If that’s not an option, pamper yourself in the time you do have and get your mind off your career. This will reduce your anxiety and get you into a better place mentally.
That’s because you need to start making decisions from a more rational and objective point of view. Why did you go into your current career? It may have been your dream or it provides the living you need to support your family. You might also truly hate your career, but realize that there’s an element you do like and would like to replicate in another job.
Whatever it is, hold onto that idea and see how you can advocate for yourself with a transfer or job change. Your goal right now is your value who you are within your current career. So let yourself start seeing why you’re good enough.
