Autumn Equinox Tarot Reading
***Chicago***
Unfortunately I am not in Chicago right now. This is an old photo when I was there two years ago, though. Right now I'm in my room in Florida, it's hot outside, and here I am, thinking about everything that I have to do before Tuesday.
A couple nights ago on Autumn Equinox, I did a tarot reading for myself. I thought about my business, my future in general with my career. I got some interesting cards. I drew three (not in past/present/future order), and one more for specifically my financial situation.
1. The High Priestess
This card (in career) represents a quiet woman who observes and isn't necessarily a leader. Advice associated with this card is to listen, do research thoroughly, be patient, and don't get involved in drama. All of this is extremely relevant to me. I am not on my own business wise yet. I need to do more research for my business and learn through observation at m current workplace. I also know that I have distanced myself from some people I used o be closer with, simply because I cannot get caught up in the gossip and nonsense. I simply do not have the time anymore.
2. Ten Pentacles, reversed
This one made me sad and nervous. Ultimately, failure will come. I'm going into this, ready to fail. I'm either blindly optimistic or maybe I'll be right, but I honestly think that this card isn't necessarily telling me that I'll go bankrupt and that everything will be in ruins. I think that, as my ideas become bigger and more realized, what I want is shifting. I may end up changing what I want to do in the middle of getting my business off the ground. Time will tell.
**update: I did read this in another interpretation:
"You may not feel close to your family or see little of them. Your family may place too much importance on material things...You may have...had many privileges, but feel there is something lacking in your life. This can also suggest that you are working too hard, or are so ambitious that you are neglecting the needs of your relationship or family. You may put your work ahead of everything else. You may see yourself as being the ultimate provider and needing to maintain the family’s standard of living, but your children may prefer you at home rather than have an increase in their allowance. Are your children crying out for your attention or do you have to buy their love? However, you may be breaking away from established family traditions or realizing that you have sacrificed your family and relationships for money and status. You might choose to turn your back on the material world or a fantastic career in favor of a simpler life for you and your family. This Reversed Card can also represent the non-traditional, non-conventional family set-up."
~relevant~ especially if I do move to California, this will be true. I don't know though, it could go both ways... But I do know that I don't want to get married or have children because *I KNOW* my business will consume me. I wouldn't be a good mother or wife, in my opinion.
3. Seven Swords
Seeing this card, drawing it after the reversed ten of pentacles, made me feel more relaxed. This one can represent trickery, but I think in my case, it represents being resourceful and taking a new approach. (This card is saying, "don't give up")
"You are in a situation at present that requires you to be super alert and smart. Those around you and involved in your situation are very clever and intelligent. You need to be too in this instance. You must start analyzing the facts using logic and reason before coming up with some sort of plan that will put you out on top. It needs to be something that they haven’t thought of or better still, something they never thought you would come up with. You may not think that this is possible but you need to start believing in yourself. You may see the other side as being way ahead of you and that they have held all the power in your situation. You more than likely have suffered defeat to them in the past which has dis-empowered you. The thing is, they think you are dis-empowered too for they hold all your Swords. This could be their downfall for they underestimate you. Their guard may be down as a result. You making a comeback or threat is the furthest thing from their mind right now. You have the upper hand now and need to make your strike before they wake up to what you are doing. You need to come up with a brand new strategy and game plan, then come at them from their blind side. They won’t see it coming and they won’t believe you have it in you but with careful effort on your part you can prevail. Time to use your head and think on your feet."
What I'm seeing by this reading is that my original plan (whatever that will be) isn't going to go too well. Luckily I will be able to step back and reevaluate my business plan//model, which I already figured.
Finally, last, Ace of Pentacles, which I have gotten in a financial tarot reading before.
"Ace would suggest that whatever it is you are planning there are sufficient funds available. It is a time of financial abundance and material growth. Even though you may have to spend money, you are still able to hold onto some and have enough to go around. As Pentacles demand results for all their efforts, the Ace suggests that investment in new projects or ventures at this stage will be especially financially rewarding and yield a good return. Whatever it is you desire to do, rest assured that you are able to afford it when this Ace appears."
Yes.... and with that, I'm gone. Have a good night everyone.
