Tarot With Emmy

Difficulties at Work - Tarot Has the Answers

Today has been a difficult day for me. I’ve been sick for over a month and just started coming out of it a few days ago. Today is threatening to destroy that bit of health I have been feeling for a few days, but it sure shouldn’t. The problem I have today is work related. My new job is proving to be very difficult because I am not receiving adequate training; I feel like I've been thrown into the deep end of the pool, unable to proficiently swim, without a life vest. Each day I go into the office and within a very short period of time feel my head slipping below the surface of the water, and today it was more like being below the surface of the water with a boulder tied to my feet. I went into the bathroom at one point and cried. I bemoaned my decision to take this job and leave my last one. I was scared of the future. I was angry with the person who is supposed to be training me. I wanted to go home, take a pill, and hole up in my bed with a pizza and Netflix. But alas, that surely is not the answer. I got as much done as I could and took off for home, had a good ol cry on the way and now I am here, cards in front of me. Tarot cards are like talking with a good and wise friend.

I’m going to pull two. The first will be a card regarding today, the second, a card regarding tomorrow. I know this will help, it always does.

Card #1, the Prince of Pentacles. What does he want to tell me?

Slow and steady movement Emmy. You might want to leave this job this very instant, but you know that is not the best decision. You might very well decide to leave at some point, but not today, and not probably not tomorrow either. Your decisions need to be made carefully, even though you are struggling. You have many things to protect, number one being your children, and they need you to be employed. Do not be reckless. 

Card #2, the Queen of Swords. What does she want to tell me?

Emmy, this situation is not gentle, but either am I. I am not your mother or your lover, I am the hard truth, but what could be better than the truth? Once you know it, all you have to do is accept it and move forward. Your intelligence and self reliance will become your sword. A sword is not always used in battle, but can be used to clear a path. Unfortunately in this job you will receive little help from the people you have been looking to. Tomorrow, if you are to have any peace, you must accept that this is the truth and find a way to trust and love yourself in and through this. You know the answer. Be calm now.
