Tarot for Career & Calling
Career questions sit at the intersection of will, craft, and circumstance. Tarot is well-suited to that intersection — it names the thing you have been almost-saying about your work, and sometimes the thing the work has been almost-saying back.
Use tarot when you are between two options, when a project has gone quiet, when the work has begun to feel either misaligned or like it is finally arriving. The cards below come up often in career readings — Magician, Emperor, Wheel — but the most informative ones are usually the Pentacles, which speak to craft, money, and the slow plate of real work.
