PCO: A career reading

This was a career reading done for another person, in one of the AT reading exchanges. I'm posting it here, along with the feedback, with the querent's permission. She is a hairstylist and runs her own business – a fact I only learnt after the reading.

A few things before we go.

First of all, there are three 7s here. The 7s are all swords, because they indicate a great amount of personal power. I wonder if you are the boss where you work, or someone of great influence. It also made me think that maybe you are some sort of freelancer, and that your working place depends a lot on you to keep going. Maybe you don't have a fixed team, and work in a more lonely fashion, with the occasional help of other people.

Secondly, This reading is pretty much balanced. We have the four suits, but there are more red cards than black. It makes me think that you work in a creative area... a place that doesn't have many rules, so you depend a lot on your personal discipline to keep things in order. This job help you to be disciplined, and you help the place you work to maintain it as well.

Half of the cards belong to the Heart suit. Whatever is your job, you have an emotional attachment to it.

Now, onto the cards!

C-reative expression: what you bring to this job/career ~ Ace of Cups (Agana)
What you bring to your job is something that goes from your heart. It's your love, your passion - your creative expression comes more strongly from your emotional side than your rational one. Your creative expression does not come necessarily as an explosion... it comes in more subtle manners, like concentration and silent devotion. You concentrate deeply on what you want to achieve and work diligently to do your best.

Feedback: Yes it is true, I'm very caring and do concentrate to make sure everyone is looked after.


A-ction: how this helps you reach your goals ~ 7 of Spades (Sword of Destruction)
This job helps you to reach your goals by forcing you to reevaluate and determine your priorities. It helps you to cut away what isn't necessary and give room for the real important things. Also, it helps you to maintain discipline, and use better your time which is important to achieve any goals.

Feedback: Yes I'm always cutting away everything that creates stress. I want everything to work smoothly.


R-esponsibility: be aware of ~ 7 of Clubs (Sword of Enchantment)
Be aware of the power of your thoughts and ideas. This job requires you to use and express your ideas carefully, for they attract things - both wanted and unwanted. Your words have significance, they affect the people around you - they affect you working environment. Be careful of the things you say, and to whom you say them.

Feedback: Yes "words" are the key here. We are in a small town, so there is no negative talking about any person or business because someone always knows someone here.


E-nergy: what drives/motivates you here ~ 4 of Diamonds (South Wind)
There's something about your job that is... agitated. Of course, all jobs have their boring days, but yours having something excited about it, that you find motivating. Maybe it's creative energy around you... maybe it's that small doses of chaos that make things more interesting. Whatever it is, it energies you and give you the verve to keep going.

Feedback: What motivates me is everybody's stories of their everyday living. The staff I work with also are motivating, we all get along.


E-arnings: what this career/job gives you ~ 6 of Hearts (The Home)
This jobs gives you a good, caring environment to develop your abilities. You feel safe in there. Despite the little chaos that exists there, it's not a vicious working environment, and you have good friends there. It gives you a good place to be, and helps you to make your life more comfortable.

Feedback: Yes, this is definitely correct!


R-elationships: co-worker influences, new interpersonal relations ~ 7 of Swords (Sword of Healing)
Your relationship with the people that work with you is usually a peaceful one. There's comradeship and people help each other. But the fact this card is a sword makes me think if you are some sort of boss or manager of this people, because it indicates that you have some sort of power in your hand. This power can be used both to help and to hurt, hurt badly. The environment of this reading leads me to think that you use it carefully.

Feedback: Yes, I'm the boss, but some people don't know it, I joke about it and say we are all the boss, I'm just the one that has to pay the bills. :)
