Hi! It’s so hard to find tarot card interpretations for questions related to education and school. Would either Eight of Pentacles or Judgement indicate going back to school?I’ve been waiting to hear back from grad programs on my applications. I’m looking at going back to school in my late 30’s. In spreads with questions specific to my top pick school, I repeatedly get Eight of Pentacles as the outcome. In spreads with questions related to where I’m headed on my path, I repeatedly get Judgement as the outcome.
Well, I learned that I’ve been put on the waitlist at that top pick school, so I’m still waiting and not sure if I’ll get a spot (still getting Eight off Pentacles though). I’m also interviewing for a full time job this week, at the organization I currently work with as a client, but not sure I want the job or that it’s the direction I need to go, unless they’d be supportive of my getting the degree while working for them.
It seems to me that Judgement is indicating I’m at a crossroads and that there is an opportunity to conclude one part of my life to start another (like going back to school). But if I don’t get in anywhere (out of my hands at this point), then what could this mean? Eight of Pentacles also seems like a clear indication of going back to school to master a skill (the degree would be in the industry I’ve been working in for the past 8+ years).
I feel you may have already figured this out or come to see your 8 of Pentacles are what you might had seen as an apprentice energy. Much like you educating in the area you'd like to become professional. The judgment could be them deciding on you or YOU deciding which route is/was right for you. Looking inward about which path you truly want/wanted.
