I have been in my new country and city for six weeks now and I have not been working, which has been driving me a little nuts. I have been trying to embrace it (as someone has been encouraging my stubborn ass to do) but it is coming to the point where play time is over and the bank account needs to start having some funds go in and not all go out. (I can spend money yo!)

So I have been interviewing for a few places but I have been also struggling with the fact that a new city and country could also be a new start and to try something new. The other aspect has been that I know that not everything happens at once and you need money to live so it has been an internal war. I have a pretty good feeling about one job although it is not my dream job (I didn’t have a job lined up when I left Australia and I can’t expect that I am going to just fall into my dream job when I don’t even know what my bloody dream job is).

I have been reading Rachel Pollack’s new book – The New Tarot Handbook and there was a pretty fantastic, simple spread, which I expanded with the long term effects of the reading.

Getting my design on I created the below.

Then I took my time to focus my energy on my situation and using the stunning Steampunk Tarot (honestly if you don’t have this deck, GET IT, like right here – http://www.amazon.com/The-Steampunk-Tarot-Barbara-Moore/dp/0738726389/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371263000&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Steampunk+Tarot )

These are the cards that I had for my reading.

OPTION 1 – Take the position that I am in final interview for even though it is full time. 

Eight of Wands – Ten of Pentacles – The Empress

OPTION 2 – Take the time off and work on my art and writing full time. 

Nine of Swords – Three of Pentacles – Four of Cups

SOOOOOOO Option 2 looks like it gonna SUCK! Which was funnily enough the option where I feel I have been really encouraged by a lot of people to explore.

But the first option and me going back to work looks like it is a great opportunity. I get that the four of cups in option 2 is mostly about how you feel about a situation being the cups and all but there seemed to be a very one sided feel to the reading.

I think I am going to do another reading in a couple of days to see if the energy has shifted and I have another job opportunity on the table although the vibe of the guy I am dealing with is ALL FUCKING WRONG so I don’t think it is going to be a job I would want to take even if I was offered it.

For the time being the first option looks like a winner. I wonder how much of it is because of my anxiety for the unknown. However the ONLY Major Arcana card was in the first option and it is a great Major Arcana card. If there was anything eluding to a higher power wanting me to trust and be more patient I would be thinking more about how I am personally putting my energy into the reading and not being bias. But there was nothing there in any of the cards. Again I will see what happens when I do the reading again (maybe with the same Tarot Spread, maybe not) in a few days.

**Disclaimer** I don’t believe in making life decisions solely based on a Tarot reading. There are many factors to take into consideration when you make a decision like taking a new job. Just wanted to put that out there to every one in Blog land.
