This past winter I applied to doctoral programs and was disappointed at the lack of available tarot card interpretations for higher education. Perhaps others have found good sources related to this and, if so, please share them! Either way, I thought I'd post some insights from several of the readings I did related to my pursuit of a PhD program, now that the final decisions have been made.

For reference: I ended up being rejected by 7 of the 8 schools I applied to and was a finalist then waitlisted by the 8th (we'll just call it School 8). I did finally receive an acceptance on the very last possible day from School 8.

Cards that came up repeatedly: 8 of Pentacles, 6 of Swords, and The World
- The 8 of Pentacles came up in nearly every reading I did on pursuing or getting into grad school and it always came up in the future or outcome position. Even while I received rejection after rejection notice, this card persisted and led me to think that school was on the horizon. That said, I did question whether it would happen for me this year or might be further in the future because I was getting rejection notices. But the cards knew what was up and I did receive an acceptance.
- The 6 of Swords came up in one card readings on specific schools immediately before I received rejection notices from said schools; to me this card was a sign of moving away from the thing in question, perhaps moving toward something else (the school I was finally accepted into)
- The World came up as the outcome several times in readings on School 8 and I always interpreted this as completion of the admissions cycle rather than an indicator of success in being admitted; one way or another, there would be a resolution and an ending leading to some new beginning (whether it's what I hoped for or not)

Readings I did:
- 1 card for each school to represent the likelihood of being accepted; the only school I received a major arcana for was the one I eventually was accepted into, but I was waitlisted long before that happened and the card I received before being waitlisted was the Wheel of Fortune
- 5-card Horseshoe spread (present position, present desires, unexpected, immediate future, outcome); I used this spread to read on School 8 the evening I was notified I'd been waitlisted; my question was where am I headed with School 8; the cards were The Star, Judgement, 9 of Wands, 4 of Swords, and 8 of Pentacles; the 4 of Swords was apt for being waitlisted (a period of rest and no activity), and of course there's the 8 of Pentacles in the outcome position
- 7-card Triangle spread (cards 1 and 2: present situation, cards 3 and 4: next 1-4 weeks; cards 5 and 6: next 5-8 weeks; card 7: central card/significator); I used this spread to read on School 8 several weeks after being waitlisted; the cards were 7 of Pentacles and 3 of Wands, 2 of Wands and Knight of Wands, The Wheel of Fortune and The Hermit, and Judgement; the 2 of Wands and Knight of Wands were apt for what happened when I received acceptance (though it took a little longer than four weeks), because I was given barely 24 hours to let them know whether I'd accept their offer and made a mad dash to visit the city where the school is located before giving my decision; The Wheel of Fortune and The Hermit indicating the 5-8 weeks following seem to indicate a changes and introspection related to the decision with the Judgement card in the center showing being called to make a decision and move forward to a new life (whatever that may be)
- 3 card spread (Where does the admissions committee stand on my application, What will the admissions decision most likely be, Outcome); this spread I did one week before the final notification deadline; the cards were Page of Cups, 4 of Wands, and Knight of Swords; the Page of Cups indicates a message of admiration or a heartfelt proposal or invitation; the 4 of Wands as the decision seems to indicate reaching and celebrating my goal to gain entry into this community; the last card indicates dramatic change and quick decisions or seizing the moment, which definitely fits with my last minute trip and requirement to make a decision in 24 hours;
- The day before the final decision deadline I did another 5-card Horseshoe spread on School 8 in which I received the 6 of Swords in the unexpected position (uh-oh, I typically get this before being rejected), the 8 of Pentacles in the future, and The Sun as the outcome; here the 8 of Pentacles moved closer in time (from outcome to future) and with The Sun in the outcome position, I was cautiously optimistic (could just mean clarity, which I was bound to get the next day, regardless of what the actual decision would be); in this case perhaps the 6 of Swords was finally showing me what I was moving toward (instead of away from).
- And finally, on the day I was to receive a decision, but before I actually received the notification, I did a basic reading with three cards generally representing whether I would get accepted to School 8 for the fall; the cards were The Hermit, The Hierophant, and the 8 of Pentacles; this totally gobsmacked me it was so apparent and in my face that this was a resounding, yes you are going to get into and go to school

What cards have you received and what readings have you done related to pursuit of higher education?
