Explanation

Before asking a question related to your career, consider before shuffling the cards whether you want more insight about your current work situation (career) or rather about a possible merger or partnership (business partners).

Methods:

  1. Sit with your cards in a place where the atmosphere is good, light a candle and/or incense if you feel comfortable doing so.
  2. With eyes closed, shuffle the cards as you ask your question.
  3. Spread the cards (blind) on the table.
  4. Open your eyes and choose the card that 'jumps out' for you.
  5. Grab this card and look up its meaning in the chart below.
  6. Look at the card, read the short description and see what feeling it triggers in you - in relation to your question. Don't think about it too long; your first reaction contains the answer!

 The Major Arcana

 

 

0. The Fool

Career: Missch Perhaps you have doubts about whether you are right here. Maybe you want to do something else, but are not sure what yet. Dare to make your own decisions and don't let others steer you in a certain direction. No one can see into your heart or your head, so no one knows what you really want. Don't adapt to others, but make your own plan and follow your gut. Start a new course if you like it, apply for a job if it feels right. Dare to go your own way.

Business partners: Dhese business partners may not work well together as there will be thoughtlessness and impulsiveness. The Fool is open to everything but averse to responsibility. Freedom-loving and inexperienced.

 

tarot card meanings

 

1. The Magician

Career: Je are highly intelligent and creative, and when you combine these two talents, you stand head and shoulders above the rest. You have that little bit extra that makes success inevitable. What is needed, however, is that you also make yourself known as creative and smart. Dare to promote yourself, dare to show what you can do. The Magician rarely has an either/or situation, usually it is and/and, precisely because the Magician is capable of getting everything done that he wants. In the beginning, choices will have to be made, but it will soon become clear that you are capable of doing several things at once, because you will learn to combine your talents in the right way. Take earth and water, for example. They are two completely different elements, but if you use them together in the right way, you will be able to grow something completely new! Above all, keep believing in yourself. It would be a pity to miss out on a great opportunity because of doubts about your own abilities at that very moment.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be willpower and creativity. The Magician believes in himself and his abilities, is determined and knows about himself what he can and cannot do. Self-awareness and leadership.

2. The High Priestess

Career: Dhe High Priestess represents patience, understanding, calmness and intuitive skills. Maybe it would be good to take up work that is also related to this? Maybe you could do something in the social field, could you become a counsellor, therapist, psychologist, etc. ? Maybe even something in the spiritual field, e.g. Reiki master, tarotist, astrologer or employee in an esoteric (web) shop. If you already have a nice job, maybe this would be some advice to be calmer and more understanding towards your colleagues? In any case, keep listening carefully to your own feelings and do what your heart tells you. Perhaps take a spiritual course alongside your work to learn to develop your intuitive skills more and also for relaxation? In any case, keep doing your own thing at work and don't let yourself be rushed or manipulated by others, but above all keep following your own feelings.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work reasonably well together as they have a good feel for each other and there will be mutual understanding and trust. However, communication can sometimes be lacking. The advantage of this partnership is the ability to assess situations well in advance. The High Priestess has foresight. The disadvantage the sometimes (too) wait-and-see attitude. Intuition and patience.

3. The Empress

Career: Je can start preparing for a change for the better! The Empress usually announces a new development in the working sphere, and not infrequently this is an advancement! An entirely new position is also a possibility.

Business partners: Dhese partners can work well together as they inspire each other. There will be creativity and progress. The Empress is the epitome of fertility in all fields. Certainty and growth.

 

tarot card meanings

 

4. The Emperor

Career: Grote chance that you will take a step forward in terms of work. Thanks to your mental strength, you can start realising certain ideas. You are reliable and steadfast, but above all you remain human and watch out for being too rigid towards others. Your will is not a law, even if sometimes you would like to see it otherwise... You are disciplined and responsible, and you should expect the same from your colleagues. But try to put it in such a way that it doesn't come across as commanding. You have worked hard on your career and precisely because of your own perseverance, you will find that certain opportunities will arise, but even then you will have to remain disciplined to make it a success.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work reasonably well together as there will be responsibility and trust. Sometimes stubbornness and intransigence will throw a bit of a spanner in the works but success can nevertheless be expected. The Emperor is highly organised and has a rational mind. Power and victory.

 

tarot card meanings

 

5. The High Priest

Career: Op work area it is possible that a contract will be signed or you will get good help from someone on the shop floor to move forward. Adopt an honest, trustworthy and helpful attitude. This attitude will take you a long way in your career.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be a sense of duty and support. The High Priest is subservient, conscientious and religious. Education and advice.

 

 

6. The Beloved

Career: MIf you are faced with a work-related choice, try to listen to your feelings when making your decision. Perhaps you will not be presented with something new straight away, but you will find out that what you are currently doing is actually what you really want to do, and that you therefore choose your current job for the full 100%.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work reasonably well together as there is a love of work and harmony. The Beloved sometimes have difficulty in making choices, but usually support a particular decision with all their heart once it is made. Beauty and true cooperation.

 

 

7. The Zegewagen

Career: Je can count on a big leap forward. Perhaps you have already taken this big leap recently. If so, you can assume that you will (continue to) be successful in your new position, that you will be given more responsibility and will probably be able to work more independently. You are well on your way and will continue to grow, but at the same time, the Sea Chariot warns you to be careful not to do more than you can handle and to keep your attitude towards others positive.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be decisiveness and action. There is no waiting around, but vigorous action. The Zegewagen sometimes tends to want to go a bit too fast, but can definitely achieve success. However, a moment's pause every now and then is desirable. Self-confidence and progress.

 

 

8. The Force

Career: Je are full of energy and this is also noticeable at work. By listening to your body (good nutrition and sufficient exercise) you are in great shape and this is the power behind your performance. When you feel good in your skin, you are better able to perform well, and more importantly: you enjoy it! Keep your inner strength hidden at work too, but throw it out at the right time, for instance when you are sure that a plan will be taken seriously and will allow you to move up the ladder. Make sure you keep certain insecurities or doubts to yourself, but do try to discover the insecurities and doubts of others, then you will always be one step ahead of them!

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be strength and perseverance. Together, one can overcome obstacles and be patient to take action at the right time. The Force has tremendous charisma and possesses strong character. Fertility and perseverance.

 

 

9. The Hermit

Career: Je will find that - when you spend more time with your inner self - you start looking at your surroundings differently. Especially at work too. Maybe you used to think that earning as much money as possible and making a career were among the most important things in your life, and suddenly you start thinking about this in a completely different way? Try to see that success and a fat bank account have nothing to do with being truly happy. Happiness cannot be bought! True happiness is inside and not in the bank. After all, what good is a million if you were seriously ill? Material possessions are then suddenly not important at all. You would give up everything to be healthy again. You would go and live in a hut on the heath if necessary, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, many people do not realise that the things they already possess are actually the greatest wealth on earth that one could wish for! Perhaps by going on an inner quest in the coming year, this will also make you behave differently at work. Less stress, more free time, maybe a little less salary, less success, but a greater sense of fulfilment! Above all, stay calm at work, don't be rushed and keep thinking about everything calmly before making a decision.

Business partners: Dhese business partners do not work well together as there is too great a need for autonomy and independence. Thereby, the Hermit (also called Hermit) is rather withdrawn in nature and prefers to go his own way. Silence and caution. However, with regard to business relations in the spiritual field, this card can be a good harbinger as it also brings wisdom and tranquillity.

 

 

10. Wheel of Fortune

Career: Je find yourself in a vicious circle and somehow keep getting 'stuck' in the same position over and over again. The best advice right now is: break your old pattern, break the rut and try new ideas! If necessary, take a course that could take you forward, ask for a meeting with your manager or discuss certain things with your colleagues. If necessary, look out for another job if you are no longer enjoying yourself at work. Wheel of Fortune usually represents accepting things 'because that's the way they are' and the idea that the situation cannot be changed. Nothing could be further from the truth, and sometimes the Wheel even foreshadows luck in gambling! 'Fate' does not determine how you arrange your life, you do it yourself!

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be trust and happiness. They are open to innovation and willing to take risks. The Wheel helps with this. Daring to take the right path at the right time will be rewarded in the form of success. Unexpected opportunities and fame.

 

 

11. The Justice

Career: Bbody honest and sincere. This is the only way you can move forward. Anyone who lies and/or cheats will always be judged for this sooner or later! Perform your tasks as expected of you and if something should go wrong unexpectedly, be honest about it and always take responsibility for what you did or did not do, causing a mistake. To err is human, and your honesty will be appreciated.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be balance and equality. Justice acts according to honour and conscience and so honesty is paramount. However, it is important that both partners dare to take responsibility for their own actions and also learn from what has gone less well in the past. If this is the case, there will be progress and justice in one's own favour. Laws and rules.

 

 

12. The Hanged Man

Career: In the coming year, you can expect quite a few delays on the work front. Certain plans cannot (yet) be realised, a promotion does not materialise, you do not find (new?) work, etc. The annoying thing is that there is nothing you can do to change this, except to accept the stagnation and calmly wait for the tide to turn and, in the meantime, learn to think differently. Learn to accept that stagnation and opposition are sometimes the only ways to gain more insight and see that some things just have to be different, especially at work! Perhaps you yourself have been doing something wrong all along, or not handling something properly and this is only now becoming clear to you? You will see that - when you accept that now is just not the time to implement your plans, and use the time you have to wait usefully to learn and look at things differently - the right moment will present itself.

Business partners: Dhese business partners cannot work so well together as there will be stagnation and self-sacrifice. Sometimes they will have to sacrifice something in order to benefit in the end. The Hanged One takes his time to look at the situation very differently upside down. So success will certainly be possible provided that things will be handled completely differently. Turnaround and concessions.

 

 

13. Death

Career: Dhe chances are that the job is over for you, that it is time to look for something else. Again, accept it. The idea is not to rush headlong into something new, but to proceed with caution. At the moment, saying goodbye is more important than finding something new. This must be done properly so that you are not left with doubts or questions later. Only when the parting is neatly completed and you are also at peace with this can you be open to new possibilities. It is also possible that it is just a transition period, that you have finished doing certain work and new tasks are waiting for you within the same company. But whatever it is, you are ready for something new. And even if you don't like the idea of saying goodbye at the moment, be open to it, because a goodbye by no means always means you will lose out. Sometimes even something better will come in its place!

Business partners: Dhese business partners cannot work very well together as there will be an ending and a subsequent goodbye. Death represents the ending of the old and the beginning of something new. This also applies to any partnership. Death brings nothing permanent with it. Loss and change.

 

 

14. The Moderation

Career: ODon't rush anything. It's better to build everything little by little and keep growing, than to go hard all at once, give it your all and then stand still. It takes you a lot more time, energy and strength this way, and the end result is the same, the only difference being that if you go hard, you will be at the end of your rope in a few months. Whereas if you start more leisurely, in a few months you will still have strength and energy enough to keep going nicely and keep growing. Moderation indicates that you will have a great time at work next year, not least because you can do your work in your own way and at your own pace. This does not mean that you can be lazy or disinterested, but rather that you do not let yourself be rushed. Besides your work, try not to make too much of a fuss either. There is no need for an overloaded agenda, even when it comes to visiting friends, going out, etc. Here, too, you need to find the balance between working and relaxing. So enjoy your time off to the full, the better you will be when the working week starts again.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be like-mindedness and mutual complementarity. Moderation represents poise and balance and able to compromise. Orderly and cautious.

 

 

15. The Devil

Career: Dit is not a good time to confide in people just like that. Scammers, liars and profiteers lurk. Try not to take up a particular offer too eagerly, but first investigate whether what they claim is true and whether they can deliver on the promises they make. Do not be influenced by those with smooth talk and nice promises. A greedy attitude will win you over, as will selfishness. Be open to people who have your best interests at heart and want to warn you about those who might want to use you or take advantage of you. The Devil implies an important warning: keep your eyes peeled and be careful who you confide in.

Business partners: Dhese business partners cannot work well together as there will be control tendencies, jealousy and manipulation. Lies, bad advice and power games are to be expected. The Devil is an egoist and likes to control others. Oppression and dependence.

 

 

16. The Tower

Career: Ince you are suddenly faced with an unexpected event that is negative for you, such as the termination of your contract, a reorganisation or another situation that makes it impossible for you to carry out your current work, or even to look for another job, do not panic. If it hadn't happened now, it would have happened at another time. It had been coming for some time, only you were not yet aware of it. For every unexpected change, accept it and try to see that it doesn't just happen. Every event has a reason. Try to understand the reason for this unexpected event. You might even end up seeing it as a liberation afterwards!

Business partners: Dhese business partners cannot work well together as there will be escalation. Skirmishes, disagreements and annoyance reign supreme. The Tower shows how lightning can strike at an unexpected moment. But also that this can be accompanied by a flash of insight. And a sense of liberation. Abrupt change and relief afterwards.

 

 

17. The Star

Career: Gelieve in your dreams and don't settle for less. When you really want something, you will be able to achieve it, and next year is not a year to compromise. Be creative, have faith in your own ability and keep pursuing your goal. Try to realise your dream: chances are you will succeed! Also, feel free to take a risk if you get the chance to invest in your ideal. Little can go wrong in the near future, provided you keep believing in yourself. Are you offered a job that pays well, but you still feel it doesn't really suit you? So feel free to say 'no'. What good is a job that pays well but to which you reluctantly go every day? Believe in your dreams: 'Where there is a will, there is a way'!

Business partners: These business partners can work well together as there will be like-mindedness and openness. After a somewhat difficult period, they can again look forward with hope, as the plans being made now have a high chance of success. Confidence and positive energy.

 

 

18. The Moon

Career: In your work, you may feel some anxiety in the coming period. Fear of failure, insecurity, exam anxiety or not trusting your colleagues. Try not to avoid certain situations, but rise to the challenge! Perhaps the fear of the unknown is greater than the fear of failure. Therefore, confront your own fears and insecurities precisely so that you can find out that jumping into the unknown can also turn out positively! Still, now is not the right time to make important decisions or serious plans for the future. Next time, on the contrary, it is important to listen a lot to your own feelings, your inner self, your dreams and your visions. Try out different things, including the things you are uncertain about or afraid of. And make a decision at a later date. But every challenge you face in the coming year is the first step towards a more certain future and every victory is one!

Business partners: Dhese business partners cannot work well together as there will be dishonesty and uncertainty. Deception, misunderstandings and illusions are to be expected. The Moon represents mysticism, but also fear of the unknown. Not a good basis for a partnership. Disappointment and setbacks.

 

 

The Sun

Career: Dhe Sun indicates that you will enjoy your work in the coming period. Creativity and implementing your ideas are definitely among the possibilities. The atmosphere at work will be good and obstacles can definitely be overcome. Convey your plans convincingly, enthusiastically and remain optimistic at all times. Positive thinking and a positive attitude will take you further than stressfully chasing your plans and forcibly creating opportunities. It is better to be tidy, cheerful and benevolent without too many qualifications in your pocket, than a sourpuss with all the possible papers. In the work environment, the right attitude towards others is very important!

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be openness and pleasure in work. The warmth of the Sun brings positivity in the form of creativity, growth and success. Talent and satisfaction.

 

 

20. The Judgement

Career: The coming time, feel free to be open and honest about your opinions and express your own plans. Show clearly how you feel about your colleagues, and feel free to give constructive criticism. When doing so, do not forget to recognise and mention your own shortcomings. Only criticising is usually not appreciated, but having a conversation in which you also freely admit your own mistakes will have a beneficial effect on the working atmosphere. Honesty lasts the longest, so don't do things that are not part of your job description that you don't really feel like doing either. Don't make excuses, but be honest and calmly explain why you don't feel like it. If you make an excuse, the next time you are approached for the same 'in-between' job, they will ask you if you feel like working overtime. Honesty is appreciated, as long as you present it calmly. You will notice.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work reasonably well together as there will be new opportunities. Judgement shows a resurgence that involves talking out differences and resolving old issues. A positive change and a fresh start.

 

 

21. The World

Career: Op the area of work, you are well placed and good at what you do. Also in your work, important projects will be completed in the coming year, so you can start something else with fresh courage. The World points to success and a good working atmosphere. Maybe even a foreign (business) trip or foreign contacts.

Business partners: Dhese business partners can work well together as there will be creativity, balance and good mutual contact. One has already learnt a lot and can now start reaping the benefits of all the previous lessons and experiences so that the goal can be achieved. The World shows that it is time to expand horizons. To spread one's wings. Because one is ready to move forward at a higher and better level. Growth and profit.
