Tarot of Work

◁ Judgement ▷

You may be going through a period of awakening when it comes to your career path. Perhaps you have found a new purpose or a calling that cannot be ignored. This can sometimes come with adjustments needing to be made at your workplace or your position. While this can be stressful, these changes can bring you a sense of feeling revitalized when it comes to your work. If your workplace has been tense, the Judgement card also signals that you may need to be more aware about how your actions at your workplace are affecting others. Take some time to evaluate how your behavior has been, and what can be improved. Take responsibility for your actions and your part in any conflicts that have been brewing.

◁ The Devil ▷

You may feel stuck or trapped when it comes to your career right now, like you don’t have any options but to stay somewhere that you dislike. In this state, it may be easier to blame your circumstances, bad luck, or a host of external factors. You may feel dependent on this job, without the power to make the changes that would bring you happiness. At times, this card can also signal self-sabotage and playing the victim when it comes to work relations with your colleagues. Regardless of what it feels like, the Devil’s appearance can signal that you have more choices than you think you do, you only need to reclaim your power. This can be scary, to take accountability for a situation that you dislike, but it can also be empowering.

◁ Death ▷

If you’ve been considering a career change, the upright Death card can be a signal that you should take the plunge and act now. You may have been through a period of apathy, disinterest and frustration at your current job, and should you not take decisive action, events in life may force you to make a change. You may be clinging to your current path because it offers stability, certainty and safety, but if you are otherwise unhappy or feeling unchallenged, there is much more to lose than your comfort. Often when one door closes, another one opens; embrace the shifts occurring right now and dive in.
