Now What? Tarot:
Continued
by Sally Philips
The Challenges/ Opportunities card is The Lovers -- Harmonize opposites and you will heal a rift that will greatly expand your awareness.
Your partner doesn’t want you to quit and you care about their feelings (-3), but you believe quitting your job will improve the relationship, so it should be worth it in the long run (+3).
The Advice card is the Knight of Wands -- There will be comfortable stretches of the road and there will be distinctly uncomfortable ones, but any form of motion is better than no motion.
The word motion and the image on this card may make you feel excited … a feeling that perhaps has been sadly lacking in your life lately (+5). But maybe you're also concerned about the hurdles that lie ahead and don’t want to take them too lightly (-2).
The Daily Lesson card is The Emperor -- It takes a strong sense of honor to steer through challenging times with a firm hand. This card in this position is about duty.

Will changing jobs help you fulfill your duty? Maybe your intuition says yes and duty is very important to you (+5). Are you willing to face challenges (within reason)? Most people are (+3).
The Near Future card is The Hanged Man -- A time of surrender approaches. As your dignity, control and cherished self-image are stripped away, you will rediscover the deeper and more authentic parts of yourself.
Wow … this is probably not the card you were hoping to see in this position. The image seems scary, as does being unemployed (-5), but the interpretation hints that you will eventually find ways to be more authentic, which should make you feel cautiously hopeful (+2).
The Answer
After adding up the cards’ scores, you get a +10 out of a possible +50 or -50. That’s a YES, but a cautious one. Should you go ahead and quit your job based on this reading? You might plan to quit, but proceed with caution. Do more research and try to line up another job. At some point, you might try other Tarot reading to search for a clearer answer.
