Future: Five of Wands

Others Mindset: Ace of Chalices in reverse
Obstacle: The Horned God in reverse
Outcome: Eight of Pentacles
Special: Ten of Pentacles
This week was a spectacular reading. Notice the paired wands for career, chalices for mindset and emotions, and pentacles for hard work paid off in the end.
Past, Present, and Future
Queen of Wands: I am a kind, loving, and generous person, but I definitely let some angst get in my way at work this week. I felt like people weren’t listening to me, and I was feeling left out both at work and in my friend group. Instead of confronting people and discussing it like an adult, I was petty. I even left work early without telling anyone because I felt like people hadn’t noticed my presence anyway. This pettiness, angst, and focus on the negativity seeped its way into everything this week. I need to remember the kind, self-confident, generous side of me.
Page of Wands: I know that I am not going to stay at this job. I haven’t made plans to leave yet. I haven’t submitted any applications. But I have been on LinkedIn every weekday this past week looking at stay at home jobs. I have skills and I have the energy to take on a new job, but I don’t quite feel ready.
Five of Wands: Things are about to shift at work. Someone new is going to be hired, and someone is going to be promoted to manager. This is going to shift the power balance drastically. I need to use this opportunity to demonstrate leadership skills. We are going to have to work closely together as a team, and a unified community, to make sure things begin to run smoothly.
Wands represent career, and this has been pretty dead-on about how that has been going, and will go.
Mindset
Nine of Chalices: This is the wishes come true card. I feel like everything is going to work out. I will get a new job that I enjoy. I will have a successful blog. I will find a greater purpose. I will start a family. I will find happiness. My wishes for my future will eventually come true.
Ace of Chalices in reverse: Others are seeing me as emotional. That has definitely been true. I am out of my thyroid meds, I am experiencing PMS, and I am feeling invisible. I spent a lot of time crying this week. I also shut down emotionally at work, and at home. People are definitely right about seeing me as buried in my own head.
Interesting that mindset this week was represented by chalices. These are the cards of emotions and thoughts.
Obstacles and Outcomes
The Horned God – 4 in reverse: I need to get over my pettiness. If I have a problem I need to learn to treat it head on like a fucking adult. I’ve been sulking around, thinking negative thoughts, and not confronting anyone about how I feel. Especially when it comes to my marital partner having to put up with it, I need to be straight forward with how I have been feeling. I think this will help with the necessary communication that is going to be needed with the upcoming power shift at work.
Eight of Pentacles: I will find a job that I love. It is going to be a lot of work, but I am going to be paid well, with benefits, and the work will be worth it. I will be financially in a good place, and I will enjoy the work I am doing even if it is hard work.
Ten of Pentacles: This card leapt out of the deck at me. It is a card showing a happy family who is financially well set. Notice the two pentacles in the outcomes meaning hard work, grounding, and financial stability. I think combined with the Page of Wands, Nine of Chalices, and Eight of Pentacles, this card is showing me that the new job I will end up getting will be something I want, and it will give me the ability, and financial stability to make a family. What do you think?
If you celebrate pagan holidays, than I wish you a happy Lughnasadh!
