qosI suspect that tarot readings are much like dreams: they may be fascinating to one's self, but often less than thrilling to others.
However, for my own reference. . . .
This is a daily spread from Tarot.com, and the question, as I return to work after four days off and a lot of introspection, is how I balance job and vocation.
Situation: The Tower
No one can stay entirely out of the way of tremendous energy that is seeking release.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to the circumstances you find yourself in with regard to your concern.
When the Tower is in this position, significant energy must be released. Until that happens, no one is safe or secure. It could either be an accident of history or a natural development that had been building over time.
The charge is now at critical mass; just a little shift in the energy of the situation will cause it to be set loose. Although this may happen around you rather than to you, be aware that the situation is volatile and unstable. Prepare for chaos but don't take it personally.
Challenges/ Opportunities: The Fool
Don't allow the judgments of others to inhibit your possibilities.
The card in the Challenges/Opportunities position reflects how you can use creativity to turn a crisis or challenge into an opportunity.
When the Fool is in this position, you are challenged to remain balanced and optimistic during a period of uncertainty. Because you are momentarily free of preordained roles or titles, purposely detach yourself from the desire for them. Appreciate a point of view in which all your options are open and you are not limited by predetermined courses of action. Just as everything that exists was once a seed in someone's imagination, your future is a seed in your own. What visions would you use to germinate your future? The Fool's bag of tricks contains many powerful dreams. Open the bag and look at what you might be carrying in the way of seed ideas.
Advice: Justice
You are seen as a fair-minded party whose opinion matters.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
The Justice card in this position advises that you listen carefully as others explain to you their version of events and the parts they played. It is unnecessary to offer feedback. Your role is to observe, listen closely, give a full hearing and keep your wits about you as the story takes shape.
As you witness people's account of themselves, your understanding will go beyond the words you hear. Subtle inferences and clues will reveal the truths that will enable you to make a wise and accurate assessment.
Daily Lesson: Ten of Swords
You have sustained some losses but you will endure.
The card in the Lesson position represents the personal investment or sacrifice required to derive full benefit from your current situation.
With the Ten of Swords in this position, be willing to surrender whatever you have clung to the most, the last attachment to your past identity or accomplishments. Be willing to release it all. Whoever you are becoming requires this sacrifice. Under the circumstances, it is necessary.
This may make some part of you feel like it wants to die, and indeed a part of you is. But what remains will live on and be renewed by this sacrifice, revitalized by this challenge and rigorous reexamination. Reject the illusion that what you've lost or given up will steal all the life and joy out of your future.

Near Future: The Sun
You are bonding with like souls whose influence strengthens you and fulfills your needs.
The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralize tendencies.
It appears that events may soon draw you into a more magical and charmed circle of people whose capabilities complement your own. Your natural charisma is attracting those special souls who innately harmonize with you, like favorite members of your family. As such alliances emerge, you may feel affirmed and recognized like never before.
You are evolving beyond survival issues. This allows you to choose the healthiest and best circumstances for nurturing yourself. You may now find it much easier to put together that dreamed-about circle of supportive friends. This beneficial team lets everyone display their talents, express their true feelings and receive positive feedback.
