Today, I wanna share a little experiment I did with tarot cards – yeah, those mystical things people use to peek into the future. I’ve always been curious about tarot, especially when it comes to career stuff. So, I thought, why not give it a shot and see what all the fuss is about?
I started by doing some digging online. What I really care about is work, so I searched for “work tarot”. Apparently, lots of folks are into this. There are these things called “spreads,” which are basically different ways to lay out the cards for different types of questions. I found one called the “Will I Get The Job” spread, which seemed perfect for what I was curious about.
Next, I got myself a deck of tarot cards. Now, I’m no expert, so I also grabbed a guidebook to help me figure out what each card means. Then came the fun part – asking the questions. I learned that it’s super important to be clear and specific with your questions. Instead of asking something vague like, “Will I be successful?” it’s better to ask, “What do I need to focus on to get that promotion?”
- Step 1: Shuffle the cards. I mixed them up real good while thinking about my job situation.
- Step 2: Lay out the cards. I followed the “Will I Get The Job” spread I found online, placing each card face down in a specific position.
- Step 3: Flip and interpret. One by one, I turned the cards over and used my guidebook to understand their meanings. For example, I pulled the “Ten of Pentacles” card, which is apparently all about success and stability. Sounds good, right?
Honestly, it was a pretty cool experience. Even if you don’t believe in the whole fortune-telling thing, it’s a neat way to reflect on your career. The cards and their interpretations got me thinking about my strengths, weaknesses, and what I should be doing to move forward. The “Ten of Pentacles”, for example, made me realize I should highlight my past achievements more in job interviews. The “Magician” card was all about using the resources around me, so I reached out to some old colleagues to see if they had any leads. I’m not sure if it was the tarot or just being more proactive, but I started getting more callbacks from recruiters. It’s a little uncanny, but hey, whatever works, right?
I even thought about turning this into a side hustle. I saw online that some people do tarot readings on YouTube for a living. Maybe I’ll start my own channel! Who knows, this little experiment might just turn into something bigger. But for now, it’s a cool tool for self-reflection and getting my thoughts in order about my career.
My Takeaway
Whether you’re a believer or not, doing a tarot reading for your career can be a fun and insightful experience. It’s like a little brainstorming session with yourself, with the cards acting as prompts. You might just discover something new about yourself or get that extra push you need to go after your dream job. If nothing else, it’s a great conversation starter!
