As witches, we know that the energy of the universe is constantly shifting, ebbing, and flowing. Sometimes we find ourselves standing at a crossroads, torn between the stability of our current path and the magnetic pull of something new and exciting. Whether you’re considering a career change, nurturing a passion project, or simply seeking balance in your work life, tarot can be a powerful tool to help guide your journey.

I recently did a tarot reading to explore my own career path and blog development, and the cards revealed some fascinating insights about the delicate dance between passion and practicality. Here’s what I learned and how it can apply to any witch looking to align their career and dreams with their true calling.

The Crossroads: Two of Dice (Two of Swords)

The Two of Dice (also known as the Two of Swords in traditional tarot) immediately speaks to the indecision many of us feel when standing at a crossroads. This card represents a moment of pause, a time when you’re faced with a decision but are unsure of the next step. It’s the energy of balance, yet it can also be a limbo, where the choice isn’t clear, and the future feels uncertain.

As witches, we understand that there is power in this moment of hesitation. It’s not a time of stagnation but a sacred pause before the magic of choice unfolds. When this card appears, it’s a reminder that sometimes we need to sit with our emotions and let our intuition guide us to clarity. No decision needs to be rushed; trust that in time, the path will reveal itself.

Emotional Blocks: Queen of Spokes (Queen of Cups)

The Queen of Spokes, representing the Queen of Cups, is deeply intuitive, emotional, and nurturing. As a blockage in this reading, this card signals that our emotions might be clouding our judgment. Perhaps we’re letting doubt or fear dictate our decisions, or we’re giving too much energy to other people at the expense of ourselves.

For witches, the Queen of Spokes calls us to find the balance between self-care and self-doubt. She asks: Are you nurturing your dreams the same way you nurture others? As we strive to create, we must ensure that our emotional energy is aligned with our true purpose. If you’re feeling pulled in too many directions, take a moment to reconnect with your inner self and ask, “What does my heart truly desire”?

Hidden Strength: Three of Scoops (Three of Pentacles)

The Three of Scoops, or Three of Pentacles, is a card of collaboration and building a foundation. In this reading, it signals that community is key to your success. Whether it’s networking with others in your field, seeking mentorship, or learning from those who inspire you, now is the time to build connections that can support and nurture your growth.

As witches, we understand that energy flows more freely when shared. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, collaborate with others, or find like-minded souls to learn and grown alongside. Building a supportive network is not only a practical move; it’s also a magical one.

Advice for Moving Forward: King of Scoops (King of Pentacles) Reversed

The reversed King of Scoops brings a cautionary tale about focusing too much on financial security without considering the spiritual and emotional aspects of your path. This card asks us to avoid becoming too fixated on the material world – on making money at the expense of joy and fulfillment.

For witches, this is a reminder that true abundance comes when we align our passions with our purpose. If you’re feeling stuck in a job or career that drains your energy, it might be time to take a step back and reconsider what you’re truly working toward. Money is important, but it’s not the only source of wealth. Our real treasures lie in our passions, our creativity, and the legacy we build. Find a path that feeds your soul, and the rest will follow.

The Potential Outcome: The Tower Reversed

The Tower is a card of sudden change, often signifying upheaval and disruption. But when reversed, it suggests that the change doesn’t need to be abrupt. Instead, it points to a gradual shift or the avoidance of a more chaotic upheaval by taking things slow and steady. This card is all about avoiding the crash by being proactive and making conscious, thoughtful decisions before things fall apart.

For witches, this is an invitation to embrace change at your own pace. You don’t need to throw everything away or make drastic moves. Change can happen in subtle, incremental ways, and by taking small, aligned steps, you can transform your career or creative projects without losing your balance.

Conclusion: A Witch’s Path to Balance

As we walk our witchy paths, we’re constantly learning how to balance our passions and practicality. Tarot teaches us that there’s no right or wrong choice – only the path that aligns most with our purpose, energy, and desires.

This reading reminds me that small steps forward, whether it’s nurturing my blog or finding a more fulfilling career, will lead to the changes I desire. And for all of us witches, the key is to trust our instincts, build supportive networks, and embrace the slow but steady flow of magic that comes when we allow ourselves to align with our true purpose.

Remember, you don’t have to change everything at once. Witchcraft teaches us the power of patience – the magic is in the journey, not just the destination.
