A woman came to me, she's just turned 32 and hasn't found her career stride yet. She gets jobs but they aren't growth paths and a few years later she moves on to a new one, but it's always at the same level and she feels herself stagnating.
Then a friend of the family offers her a job. She draws
5 swords Reversed / Ace of Swords Reversed / 10 of wands
She wants this to work, because it's a real offer but the cards don't like it at all. There's something unclear about his offer, a sense of betrayal. It doesn't cut through the confusion and she ends up more burdened than she was before.
Interestingly this news energizes her. I knew it! she said. Her grandmother is pressing her to take the job but her intuition is screaming otherwise.
She has another job, but he's new in town, no one really knows much about his company which is from the midwest but starting a branch in her east coast town.
She draws
star / knight of swords / 4 of wands
She can get what she wishes for here, she has to ride out, take ownership, and if she is trodden on, she will have to defend herself clearly and cleanly. But if she does so, she gets to stability, she is a place she can stay and grow.
She's really happy now. She wanted this job but couldn't face standing up to her family without any real assurances. But the cards show her that it's a post worth fighting for.
She takes the second job. When I see her recently, nearly five years later, she's still there, now in a management position. (She came to ask about having children, another matter about which the cards can be very accurate...)
