Anyone fancy a quick tarot card reading? (I need practice)

Trying to get better at reading the cards.

Anyone got something they want a quick answer too? Yes/no questions are ideal for the sake of speed but if you really want to know something else feel free to ask.

I'm NOT a psychic so you'll probably need to give some context. Just whatever you are comfortable with.

Just for fun guys. Don't take it too serious x

Will I return to China in 2026?

I feel like you might have other options.
There's something about hard work and perseverance paying off.

It's not that you won't be able to it's just I feel there might be a different option you prefer. There's something about partnership or marriage. Travel is represented so I'm assuming it's not staying home to raise a family. Perhaps it's a job offer in a different country.

Looking further there is a choice between two options or places. Spirituality might play a part.

Yes please, should I look for a new job.

My feeling is that is is a no.

Either it's knuckle down at your current place and clean up the areas that don't work for you. Eg: ask for that raise or promotion you feel you deserve.

Or

It's telling you that it's not the time because something else is coming in. There is a warning against acting impulsively because of wistfulness.

I do see someone crying. But I also see a celebration, perhaps about a job well done.

Yes please, should we make a major move to a different county in the Uk or stay put. Thank you

My feeling is that you will make a move and that it is a good option. At least for a time. It may not be your forever.

I don't know if it's a 'one person wants to go and the other wants to stay' situation. And it's a deal-breaker relationship wise if you choose to stay.
But, all things run their course and it seems the move is great. Until it isn't and then, you can go home again, or, elsewhere.

I draw the chariot and the 3 of pentacles and the page of swords.

Time to take action and shake things up.

Perhaps retraining in something entirely new or pursuing a new hobby is due. It feels like new study or a thirst for knowledge.

That thing where, 'you don't get unstuck if you don't pull your feet up and take action'. But then often we are frightened to move incase it's the wrong move.

You can always turn the chariot around.

The two of pentacles. You have options.

The moon and the 8 of swords. Lol you definitely are feeling stuck aren't you!

The seven of swords. 'If I pick up one thing I might drop another'.

It reminds me of when I go into boots to look at makeup (that I will probably never wear xD) and I think 'ooh I want this and this and this but I'm only going to get one thing because I want to save money. But...I can't choose one thing. ... ... Right! That's it, we're leaving and not buying anything then!'.

It's not all or nothing. You don't have to succeed at everything you try. Just pick something and have a crack at it. If it's a no it's a no.

You can only do what you can do. Your part. You can't change other people or mitigating circumstances but focus on the changes you can make.

Pick a route and move on it and if it doesn't work out then don't worry. You can try something else.
You can go in guns blazing or start small and work your way up. Various options are ahead for you. Just, move.

Edited

Gosh! Thank you for taking the time, I've never had someone read for me so this was very insightful and pretty much spot on.

So true about the "paralysis analysis" - I just wish I knew which path was the right one. Instead, I choose nothing - and that is very definitely the wrong choice! Thanks again. Let me try to steer the chariot around...

RainbowSlimeLab · 19/07/2025 09:05

Will I get a new job soon?

Thanks!

I don't necessarily see speed (unless you've already got one now so it doesn't need to tell you its coming soon anymore).

The cards talk about responsibility (eg: jobs involving management, team leadership, HR...a position where you are some way 'in charge' or, a job where you will find yourself training to get to that sort of position). Material stability and learning as you go. The later could point towards internship.

The career change is a positive one. There is talk about ideas (rg: being the 'ideas' person in the workplace and mayne having a team to help you achieve them. Or, a career in advertising perhaps?) or inspiration of others. Perhaps you are starting off in a role where you can be seen to be a positive person and a motivator, someone who your employees will recognise as leader potential and want to train further.

So, looking good. But as I said, nothing about speed so maybe you're going to have to pound the pavement for a while longer.

Dawn884 · 19/07/2025 09:33

Yes please. Is my partner cheating on me?

Eee...

So, I do not necessarily get a fixed 'other woman' in the cards but, there is what one might call, player energy. So you know when someone always thinks the grass is greener somewhere else. They may flirt with other women and that might just be their nature and simply for the ego boost...or it may be more than that.

I see someone who holds out their cup for all to see, hoping that someone will fill it.

Is he propositioning others or engaging in emotional affairs? It is absolutely possible. He may be the sort to like other womens holiday snaps or get a bit too name-droppy about a particular woman at work.

Or it may simply be as we discussed before, that he is a bit of a flirt. And, fyi, you do NOT have to be ok with that. If it makes you uncomfortable, your feelings are absolutely valid.

Infact, your feelings should be key, a partner should make you feel safe, secure, valued and like they only have eyes for you. If he isn't doing that for you then maybe that's all you need to know.

BearWoman · 19/07/2025 09:42

Me please 🙏 some career guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I looks as though there's been a lot of pressure in you lately.

I draw the 10 of wands and the 7 of swords abd imagery wise they convey people carrying a heavy burden and struggling. The 9 of swords also depicts a lady in tears and the strength card is rather self explanatory in context. Things right now are tough. Or, you are juggling a lot.

There is a warning regarding burn out. Either regarding the job requirements or whatever mental pressure you are putting on yourself.

I actually feel I'm getting fragments with this one just. There's indications towards focusing on self care, re injecting joy into what you do. I don't see leaving a career however.

Strength comes up repeatedly and card imagery of a whale bursting forth from the surface of the water. Coming up for air I suppose. But again a whale could indicate yet another version of the strength card.

I get 'break through the illusions into joy'.

Is it possible your current surroundings created a false sense of security that now feels stifling rather than comforting? Another possibility is that your own belief system about who you are and what you are capable of has constrained you.

I stand still, as stone for so long and stay as stone does, and all the world passes me by, yet stone, I, remain. But if the world set me on a different path, if the river picked me up and set me free, would I settle down as stone again?

As I said, the reading feels very disjointed. Just like my bad poetry xD Perhaps you too are feeling such.

I think there needs to be a shake up. A reset if some sort. A rethink on what would bring some joy back in. A reinvention but, without burning everything down.

There is also something about generations. Whether or not it talks about a generational career (eg everyone in the family is xyz so so should I be) or is a play on 'to generate' something new perhaps. I do not know.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help x

Will they make me manager?

The king of wands.

They will pick the person they see as being charismatic, passionate and action orientated.

I see two people either coming to an agreement over the role or, contenders for it.

Will the company I work for be successful.
Thank you

I see the sun and the chariot.

This indicates success and perhaps expansion of a franchise or, diversifying into more areas of service. Reinvention.

Celebration. But also a note about things being careful, considered and methodical.

There is a warning however that staff will be worked hard. That a companies success may not always be an employees success. That the company will be built on the sweat and toil of their employees. So make sure the company treats you right.

Yes please I’m exhausted at work with pressure and 70 hour weeks and home life not easy either right now. Wonder if I should stop all of it or keep battling through as maybe work will get less mad thxxx

Something has got to give.
There is pressure building and building and if you keep going as you are, there will be a rather...i feel the word might be 'volatile', outcome.

I feel communication is key here.You may be being taken for granted or exploited. Perhaps due to being that person who always says yes. So as not to inconvenience others perhaps.

But the cards are telling you you need to take better care if yourself. If you run on empty, you will have nothing left to give others.

No one should be working 70 hour weeks!
No wonder you're knackered.

I'm thinking of that thing where, the irresponsible person can be counted on to be irresponsible and when they are, they are not judged harshly for it. But when you are the reliable one, the second there is unreliability or, push back, people seem to get so mad about it. And really it's not fair.

But sometimes you have to say no. Sometimes you have to tell people when they are asking for too much. And sometimes, like when we are our own bosses, the person we need to talk to about this - can be ourselves.

It's ok to need time to rest.

This can apply in family life too. They get too used to us being the cook or caretaker or person that knows where everything is.

I think it's time to advocate more for yourself. And practice delegation where possible to reduce your workload. And people might not like that. But working yourself to death and hoping that something changes is not an option.

There's a book, 'the art of saying no'. Maybe it's worth a read if you struggle with claiming space and time for yourself.

I also draw the chariot (movement) consistently for you and feel the ground is about to shake. There's a wake up call in the works. Some sort of new beginning.

I feel you need to go through distance with this one. Take your time to find a qualified professional who will do you a fair deal. Checkatrade.com may be of use. Don't cut corners on this. But don't break the bank either.

Yes please 🙏

Will I ever manage to leave my abusive husband?

Hi Frankie! I don't know if I've answered you already or if it was a similar question from another.

I don't like to risk taking away personal agency in these things because I want you to find the strength to advocate for yourself and go. Because you deserve a life free from abuse.

But, I did take a little look at the cards and they show a man sulking and a woman, thriving. So, that looks like a good sign to me.

There actually look like 2 alternatives, one being you leaving and him doing the typical narcissist cycle of bullshit they do when you leave and they never thought you were strong enough to tell them to stick it. So they go full meltdown sulky ragey man baby. But you are done with it. You are free!

The second route is, they leave because they've found a new victim (or they just pretend to leave in order to punish you). And of course they never intend to 'leave leave'. They still see you as their toy. In the way that a child puts down a red fire truck to play with a police car for a while hasn't actually given up ownership of the fire truck. But even though we should be glad we are out of the relationship, it still hurts like hell. But, we recover and realise that actually they did us a massive favour. And there's no way in hell we're going back.

Now I'm not saying wait around and hope for the latter. Hell, get out as fast as you can (and as safely). I'm just saying that the cards suggest one way or another you're going to break free.

Speak with women's aid and start taking steps. You can do it!

Xatz63 · 19/07/2025 13:39

Should I retire ? Thx

The cards talk about community.
I feel this is talking about the support you will have around you if you choose to retire. And also about how you will keep yourself busy. There is travel, friendship/family and it feels like you may be on a stable enough foundation to retire. Or at least, close to. It feels like a yes to me. Otherwise, it is telling you to consider the points raised and when you feel that you are on solid ground, with supportive people around you and things you want to do and experience that work is stopping you being able to, that is the time to go.

How can I improve my relationship?
Or is it beyond hope?

There is something being hidden from you or something soon to come in that will clarify your situation.

It looks like an injustice. Either that or it is something to do with legal matters. Which could be anything from finding out about a crime to getting married to be fair so I'll did deeper.

The word juxtaposition. Perhaps both are too different from one another.

Talk of control or surrendering control being an issue. Something about change and comfortzones.

Duality. Again another indication of two people who are very different. However, sometimes different people compliment eachother to be fair. Alternatively, it may suggest a partner with a split personality.

Consider - what strengths and what weaknesses does this relationship bring out in you?

If you were to make changes, would they be healthy for you? Or would they be running from your problems? You ask, how can 'I' improve my relationship. But a relationship has two people. How is he looking to improve the relationship? Are you able to meet at middle ground? Or does one side give so that the other can thrive, and become diminished in return.

Two very different people can thrive together but only if one doesn't stifle out the other. Sometimes such balance can't be achieved.

I didn't know how to place them but, debt/gambling and for some reason, horses also came up.

ludicrouslycapaciousbags · 19/07/2025 14:07

Ahhh love this!

What man should I choose? If either?

Ooh, fun one.

Right,

The cards went mental here lol.

First guy (I don't know who is who but hopefully you might by now)
I thought it was saying he had a weak character as in, a bit of a wet blanket at first. But I looked more into it and its actually looking more of an impulsive, always on the move, does things without thinking kind of vibe. He may... be a player or a charming narcissist. Or equally, he could just be a bit...adhd. He may be someone who will drain your energy either way though.
He may only be looking for sex. A tsunami sort of person. A blow in, wreck the joint vibe.

Guy twos reading is an odd one.
He has a lot of big arcana cards about life, death, spirituality. The wheel of fortune suggests he may be very changeable. Very all in and then, all out. Thirst for knowledge. Perhaps in the way that a young student might have. May be someone who asks you lots of questions about you or who you have deep conversations with.

One seems is Mr charming/bullshit and one is Mr chatty/spiritual (or 'spiritual').

I prefer the later. That isn't to say he's a keeper of course.

Thanks for this, id be really grateful if you could do a reading for me. Things have been really difficult lately - grieving the loss of a family member, work stress, single for many years...I just want to know, will things get better?

Hi Gemi33, im so sorry for your loss. I can see that feeling of juggling with so many emotions and things that just seem to need doing even when you really just want a moments peace.

There's actually something coming in quite quickly which I feel you are going to feel very meaningful for you. It is possible it could be to do with a move or a trip.

The next bit I don't know if I should say but tact isn't my strong point and maybe it might help so: I did wonder if perhaps it was something to do with the loved one that passed. Going somewhere that reminds you of them perhaps. A place they loved or that you talked about or visited together. Because it feels like it's a trip about spirituality. But it doesn't feel all heavy like say, a funeral sometimes can. It's more, bittersweet and catharthic. Like going back to a childhood town.

Secondly, partnership come up in your reading (family too intact which may indicate children but families come in many forms). Which indicates to me that you will not be single indefinitely, if that was a worry. I think the way the romance is coming in you really don't see coming.

There's something humorous going on.
There's something coming in that is going to feel like 'I can't believe that just happened' (this may be the romance) and you're just going to find it so funny. A serendipity.

Work...well, work remains work. But I don't see money worries so if that was a concern then there's that silver lining at least.

There's an offer coming in that is connected to a choice. What this is connected to work or family, I do not know.

Sending you best wishes and hopes for happier times m'dear xx
