Moving On Spread

I've been doing readings for people via email for trade. I haven't written them down, and it dawned on me that I'd like to have a record of these readings, so I'm going to post the two I did today here.

First up, a woman who is thinking about changing careers and who also wanted to know if a man she just met might "be the one." Well, I concentrated on the career part for the reading, and then in the end pulled a single card to tell me more about this guy she just met. The spread looked like this:

(Card 1) (Card 2) (Card 3) (Card 4)

(Card 5) (Card 6) (Card 7) (Card 8)

(Card 9) (Card 10)

Since your main question was about your career, I did a "Moving On Spread" for you. Using the Whimsical Tarot, here are your results:

Cards 1 & 2: What you are moving away from.
The Chariot and Eight of Cups. The Chariot shows you are being torn in two different directions, and the Eight of Cups shows Little Miss Muffet fleeing from the spider. I get the impression that the situation you are in now is not a happy one. I think it was at one time, but now you feel torn and just want to flee.

Cards 3 & 4: What you are moving toward.
Four of Cups and Three of Swords. The Four of Cups shows the Emperor With No Clothes, riding through the middle of town on his horse. The townspeople are talking behind his back. The Three of Swords shows two children in the woods, and one of them is crying. My impression is that what you are moving towards is not as easy or as simple as you think it is. It may be a good solution in the long-run, but get rid of any delusions you might have that this path will be easy, because it will not.

Cards 5 & 6: Things to consider before taking action.
Ten of Rods and Nine of Cups. The Ten of Rods shows a maiden all alone, crying near some water. The Nine of Cups shows a genie coming out of a lamp. This shows me that while you will be experiencing some pain in your decision, your wish(es) can also be granted. Again, be aware that this new road will not be easy, but it will more than likely get you to where you want to be.

Cards 7 & 8: Reasons to move on.
Six of Rods and Death. The Six of Rods is Dorothy with Toto in a field. She is alone in this picture (i.e., no Tin Man, Lion, etc.), with a rainbow behind her. I believe this card shows victory for Dorothy. the Death card shows Sleeping Beauty asleep on a bed. Death signifies the end of one journey and the beginning of another. Both of these cards validate that moving on is the right thing to do. The reason, though, isn't as clear, however my impression is that by moving on, you will leave behind the unpleasantness of your current situation and reap rewards in the end.

Cards 9 & 10: Outcome.
The World and Nine of Pentacles. Wow. Two great cards in the outcome position. The World shows that, once you make this change, the world is your oyster. And the Nine of Pentacles shows success (financial security). So, even though the road will not be easy, your outcome will be much desired.

Now, as you can see this spread does not cover your relationship question. So, I decided to pull one card to tell me about this guy you're seeing. I pulled the Magician, who in this card is depicted by Puss 'n Boots. If you don't remember, Puss was very conniving and got what he wanted. He did serve his master, though, which was a good thing in the story. However, be careful; determine who this guy considers his master (God? Someone else?). Be aware; this man is charismatic and charming. He weaves a good tale, and is probably very entertaining. I'm sure he is fun to be around. Just don't jump in wholeheartedly yet. Keep your eyes open to discover what, if any, motive he has. See, it could be good and could be bad. Just keep your eyes open, and I think you'll be fine.
