Career, Work Or Retirement:

You may not like your job very much, but at least it keeps food on the table. In today’s modern throwaway age job security is a thing of the past. NO job is 100% secure as many have found out to their cost. Be thankful that you are not one of them. Remember that it is rare for any of us to ever be truly completely trapped.

The Four of Cups is a card about wishful thinking. It warns us to remember to pay attention to what ‘is’ now, and the many blessings we each currently experience, and not to worry too much about ‘what could be.’ It is all too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we don’t have.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Seven of Pentacles shows a farmer who has paused in the midst of his labors to assess his progress and plan his next moves. He has worked hard to get to this point and is well aware that his efforts will eventually pay off. Perhaps he is wondering what else he needs to be doing at this time. When we plant seeds, we know that no amount of impatience on our part will speed their growth. Instead, diligent care, responsible cultivation, and respect for natural cycles will produce an abundant harvest. The planet Saturn associated with this card is a strict taskmaster who, in the end, gives us what we deserve. As we read in the Bible, ‘Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap’ (Galatians 6:7, KJV).

Reversed Cards: The Four of Cups in The Raven’s Prophecy Tarot is almost identical upside down and right-side up, which makes it a fabulous image to illustrate the mirror aspect of this card: similar but different. The card depicts two ravens standing in water and pointing in the same direction as their reflections below. If you were to place a mirror next to this card, all four crows would be looking back at the others, as if looking into the past. It is as if their current emotional status is due to something behind them. Upright, they look to the future. Which is causing your emotional concerns, points of overwhelm, or moment of opportunity right now? The past or the future? The ravens wish to know.

Complete Book of Tarot: Next you have a hunch, a gut feeling that you should cross the street. You don’t know where the idea came from, but you follow your gut instinct and move to the other side of the road. A few minutes later, bricks fall from a building across the street onto the sidewalk where you were previously standing. Your hunch has paid off and saved your life. Jung called the act of unconscious perception, the intuitive awareness of future possibilities and the quick flashes of insight that come ‘out of the blue,’ the function of intuition. In the tarot, intuition is related to the element Fire and is characteristic of Wands, the suit of life and animation.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Six of Swords indicates that you are moving away from troubling waters toward less turbulent circumstances with the aid of a strong and skillful oarsman. You are not there yet, and some residual difficulties remain on your journey. Conversely, you may be playing the role of the protective oarsman, helping someone to leave a problematic situation behind, in search of a better life. Crowley named this card ‘Science’ because of its connection with the mental planet Mercury in the objective sign Aquarius. The clever use of words may play an important role in your current situation.
