Consulting the tarot can be just the thing you need to get valuable, unbiased guidance on work or retirement related matters. If you want to know whether you will be successful in your career, then there are 10 card of the 78 that bode very well for your career and many more that give guidance on career, work and retirement. A work or career reading is useful for finding which steps you can take to find the right career for you, seeing ways to create a harmonious work-life balance, seeking guidance on the next steps you need to take. Aces in a career reading indicate new beginnings.

You’ve no doubt heard the saying, “A bad workman blames his own tools.” Well the “tools” being blamed could be a host of things. It could be people, such as our work colleagues that are to blame for things not going right, for the situation we find ourselves in. It could be the company we work for, or our inabilty to find work or advance in our career. This is where a work or career tarot reading can help.

Timing: When looking for time sensitive answers, Swords generally means moderately fast, often a matter of days to weeks.

Upright

Reversed

The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck is the most popular and widely used tarot card deck in the world, printed from plates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. Full of symbolism and deeper meanings, Arthur E. Waite, the intellectual father of the Rider Waite deck, commented that ‘the true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.’

If a Swords card appears in you reading, heres what you need to know:

The Suit of Swords is associated with action, change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. Action can be both constructive and/or destructive, sometimes resulting in violence. This suit can also mean hatred, battle, and enemies, and of all the suits, this one is considered to be the most powerful and dangerous. The Suit of Swords deals with the mental level of consciousness that is centred around the mind and the intellect. Swords mirror the quality of mind present in your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. Swords themselves are double-edged and in this way the Suit of Swords symbolises the fine balance between intellect and power and how these two elements can be used for good or evil. As such, the Swords must be balanced by spirit (Wands) and feeling (Cups). The negative aspects of the Suit of Swords (i.e. when the Swords cards appear reversed) include anger, guilt, harsh judgement, a lack of compassion and verbal and mental abuse.

Ideas, communication, mental dexterity, mental challenges, talking, writing, truths/untruths.

Timing: When looking for time sensitive answers, Swords generally means moderately fast, often a matter of days to weeks.

Portable Magic: The Banishing Ritual may be done daily as a way of becoming familiar with the symbolic structures of Tarot magic, and with the manipulation of the esoteric forces of the cards. It serves to cleanse the astral place of working and to dispel any unbalanced elemental energies. It is also an excellent way to cleanse a physical space such as a room, or a structure such as a house, or even an open space such as a field. Construction of the triangle of realization is not required for this ritual. Note that in the illustration, the significator on the altar has been oriented to be upright from your point of view when you are seated on the western side of the circle, facing the east.

Portable Magic: The triangle can also be used to bring forth into actual being that which exists only in a potential or ideal form. When used in this way, it is formed upright from the perspective of the user. This was the practice of medieval magicians, who summoned demons into the ritual triangle outside the boundary of their magic circle, which protected them from the malice of the spirits. A triangle was always inscribed on the floor or ground of the working space when lower spirits were evoked to visible appearance. The triangle of evocation is as much a part of traditional European magic as the circle itself, and most true grimoires include it.
