Yesterday I had a go at doing a tarot reading myself. And I really need the experts to help me with the answers!

I asked: Will my brother find a new job soon?

I pulled:
2 of wands
8 of cups
Chariot

When I looked at the cards, I definately felt I pulled the ones which corresponded to him. this is what i interpret

2 of wands: looking for partnership, or looking for help to find a job, maybe he thought someone could find a job for him? He seeked guidance from everyone to help him fill in applications...

8 of cups: he was not satifisfied with the role he was in, he was a teachers assisstant but he did not enjoy it and now has decided to leave teaching all together, to find something different.

Chariot: He needs to balance himself internally to find a good job. He has a temper, and he needs to control that in order for him to find a good role.

Am I reading the cards right?

Since you asked a yes or no question the answer is yes, but he needs to actively keep seeking (8 of cups and Chariot) he needs to continue and not give up. He'll successfully find a job

Brilliant, that is exactly what he is doing, actively seeking and not giving up! Thanks for your help!

It means it will take time. Wands are passion. So his passions are at a standstill. But perseverance. Charging thru will bring results. Cups are emotion so it will be an emotional Bumpy road ahead... But the chariot indicates success.

Thanks Junethird, I was thinking along the same lines too, it has been really tough on him emotionally to find a role, hios cotnracted ended early on one occasion because they felt he didnt perform well, and that was a blow to his confidence. But like you and Empress mentioned, Chariot usually means success so fingers crossed for him!

You're welcome. The way I see things, 2 of Wands is associated with career, jobs, two meaning balance and partnerships, etc. That's a yes to your question, he will find a job soon. 8 of Cups and The Chariot are traveling cards, they're actively moving and not standing still. Wands being the fastest element in Tarot, at least in RW deck, means it's very active. He just needs to continue down this path(8 of Cups) to achieve his goal (The Chariot) success.

I'm creative when I read Tarot and tend not to stick to "general" meanings..I let my intuition influence the readings strongly. It's not always so black and white .

Traditionally 2 yes cards ( 2 of wands, chariot) and 1 no (8 of cups) Success is his but not without setbacks/delays. The 8 of cups is not an easy card. It's almost about transformation. The chariot card is a fast card, but not without it's speed bumps along the way. If he is open to constructive critism he will be fine. After he send out a few resumes and has a few interviews pull out three more cards plus a clarifier to see where he is at on his employment journey.

Can I take a stab at this? I love seeing others' interpretations. It helps me widen my approache

For me, the 2 of Wands is about planning, but in the sense of stepping away from what we're comfortable with. The 2's in tarot are all about balance, and here, is asks you to really pay attention to what you love and are passionate about (as others have said.) However, coupled with the 8... I think he's in the wrong field, and I think he is struggling with that or not accepting that his talents and true passion are somewhere else. The 8 to me has always been, you've gotta walk away from this path, because it is upsetting or will stagnate some key part of you.

The answer, like others have said, is yes, he'll find a job, but I find the Chariot to be... sort of a hollow win. It's success and achievement, but he's like Julius Caesar to me: rushing ahead to win and prove he can do it, not wondering if it's best.

I would suggest your brother break away and try something new if he wants to grow exponentially. The 8 and 2 follow with the 9 and 3... the card of having what pleases you and successful planning for a future you want.

Anyway, my two cents.

Great points EmpressM. That is why your insights are always so highly sought after. Always on point and clear.

Becca, can I get a reading from you please? You can pick any question to focus on from my recent TAROT reading request thread. It would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance

you're pretty accurate with your insight!! I'll tell you why.. my brother graduated in Law, then he decided he is not going to study anymore and go striaght into teaching, he realised teaching is not for him, and then he decided he wanted to go into the policeforce, but he is not physically completely fit (his arm muscles in his left arm are damaged due to chemo, my poor bro, but he is always so positive about things!)... so now because he feels he cant join the policeforce he wants to go back and do his LPC, and hopefully get a law training contract. But in the meantime he thinks if he finds a job and its ok he will just stick to it and not bother doing his LPC law thingy.. he is very confused as to which direction he should go. Just like you pointed out! I wish I could show him a direction so he knows what to follow!

Of course! Could you just tell me which one you want me to focus on though? I find that I get more of your energy and less of my supposition that way

Just like you pointed out! I wish I could show him a direction so he knows what to follow!

Has he ever gone to a career counselor? I know that sounds hokey, but they do a lot of good work and administer tests that not only figure out what people's talents are, but what they like to do the most, and then make recommendations based on that. Some firms even help with placement. My gut says mention that, but I also did a little three card, asking: What can he do to feel satisfied/balanced in his career? I just sort of went with whatever came to me (which at 9am is a weird conflation of burned coffee and last nights dreams )

What he should understand about himself: 8 of Cups (how funny!)
What he needs to focus on to better market himself: 5 of Swords
What he needs to do to get to a good place: 9 of Swords (reversed)

So, the 8 is really screaming: don't go back the way you came and don't go the way you are going to me. The card itself (I use Rider-Waite) shows a man heading for the mountains, which is what I can't stop focusing on, and to me... he is definitely lost and taking the harder road. Almost as punishment maybe? I don't know.

The 5's cover all the changes and chaos that comes with them. Here, I think your brother needs to be WAY more assertive and aggressive in presenting himself. The work force is like battlefield: people get hurt, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to show you're the best candidate, you have to show you're the best candidate. Marketability. I'm getting that he's really insecure, regardless of his brightside, and that he's too kind. He wants to help people, he wants to make everyone feel good -- and he just can't anymore. He needs to focus on himself if he wants to get where he wants.

To be in a good place period, emotional/mental/spirtiual/professional: the 9 of Swords (r) is that he HAS TO, HAS TO, HAS TO stop internalizing these setbacks and faults in his life as representations of him. It's a disaster. He's pushing himself towards a 10 of Swords, which is the end of painful mental cycle, for sure, but... it's also to me going to be a burnout the likes of which he hasn't seen yet. He really needs to start doing things that make him feel good instead of being concerned with helping others. I can't shake that he's a Pisces or Libra -- a sign that can't put its foot down, because fear of misstep or hurting someone. Please just start helping him bolster himself. Take some classes or something -- business courses, anything. I get a real sense of self-denial here, which is sad He sounds like a really nice guy.

Basically, he's got to start focusing on himself. Getting himself right and being more in touch with who he is at the core, which seems to be me someone he's forgotten or ignoring for some reason.

I did a cross, and let me say what I get overall is that, yes, it's over, but it's a good thing for you. I realize that's sort of harsh to say upfront, but, it takes the rub out I think, and I feel like it's what you need to hear. I'm sorry

In the first, I have Strength (r) and crossed with Page of Swords (r). I feel like there is a particular amount of... sort of hiding the truth from yourself, trying not to accept that it's over, and I get that it's over from the 10 of Swords in the 3rd. Upright, Strength and Page would suggest that you are beginning to pick up the pieces and make sense of what it did for you as a whole -- even though it ended -- and what new truths you can learn about yourself. However, there's a dwelling on the past (but that's coming later in the spread.) The 10 is tough, and I can only imagine how much pain you're in right now, but... but admitting something is over, or that we've lost the battle, we're free to start another one, to really get the wheel to the stone again. The 4th shows the Tower -- this all probably happened very quickly and without warning. This isn't because of anything you've done though; in the 5th, there's the King of Swords (r). In the Arcana, he is such a selfish dick, pardon my language. He's calculating, devoid of emotion, far from empathetic, and does what he wants without concern for others. I feel like this is the man you were with -- and that it's just him. Plain and simple. He's giving into his nature, which may have been hidden behind a cool stoicism and rationale that was so enticing and seemed calm. Stable. Unfortunately, you can dress a duck up like a cat, and it's still a duck

In the 6th, present, I have Justice, and I can't blame you. I would want to know what the hell happened and get my comeuppance as well. Here though... I think it's time to not pick up the sword and go looking for the truth. To not push the issue further. It's just one more thread keeping you to a bad situation that you need to wash your hands of. The Universe said no for some reason, and it would be better, I think, for your healing, to go with that.

In the 7th, 3 of Cups (r), which almost always means betrayal on a sexual level or an emotional level. You are definitely feeling the sting, and once again, I am so sorry. (I went through something like this is February, and to put it mildly, it was devastating.) The environment around you in the 9 of Wands (r); you definitely can't shake that this is your fault (WHICH IT ISN'T!!!) and nervous about the whole thing. There's an air of "not wanting to mess it up further," which equates to you on eggshells I think. This isn't good. We can't put the full weight of who we are down if we tip-toe around things, and when we aren't being ourselves, doubts and panic work their way in and gets to be a big mess.

The 9th is the Ace of Pentacles (r), and here... I think you really need to weigh the pros and cons of reaching out again. It's one thing to go after someone, because it's what you have to do. It's another because it's what you think you should do... a lot of fear in this spread. A lot of falling towards the familiar. The 10th outcome is the 6 of Wands (r) -- I think if you keep clinging to him and the idea of what it could have been or even was for a brief time, you want get anywhere at all. You'll be stuck in the past, which is so, so detrimental to your growth as a person. This is a big step -- to walk away from what you want, but... it's gonna launch you into another state of consciousness and acceptance of yourself. That I can promise you.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but really, any man that leaves you wondering if you messed up, instead of being an adult and explaining things to you and having a rational conversation isn't worth your time. I sound like a mom now, but it's true.

Was it/wasn't it real: Hanged Man
Why it was/wasn't real: Chariot
The thing to focus on: 4 of Wands (R)

This says to me that it could have been extremely real, but neither of you know, especially him, because something was holding him back. Seems there was an unexpressed, or maybe just unacknowledged, fear of moving forward because of uncertainty. I wonder if your relationship itself was ambiguous or operated against the grain of what is considered "normal" -- only seeing each other some times, long periods of silence counteracted with quick bursts of total togetherness. The Chariot is saying to me that there are warring feelings on his end, maybe: the need to feel successful in business/professional life and move on versus the need to stand still and rule over the current domain. It's a 7, which is all about planning and introspection -- preparing for what comes next, how to better ourselves. The 4 reversed says to me the time just wasn't right for the bliss and togetherness that you want -- maybe in another life time you guys had a serious bond, but here, it isn't him and there was a push to make it so (the Chariot). I don't think it was fake or a situation with the wool being pulled over your eyes. I think there was sincerity there, but it just wasn't enough to overcome the insecurity and self-confusion that had settle in him, and has, for awhile, I'd say.
