Interpretation - The drawing of the The High Priestess reversed signifies a clear disconnect from your intuition in regard to your work life. This card suggests that you may be feeling uncertain or confused about your current path, and there could be distractions and external influences that make it challenging to think clearly and make decisions. Perhaps you find yourself in a role or environment that does not feel authentic to you; there is a feeling of disconnection from your work environment, colleagues, or the overall company culture. You may be feeling as though you are being seen and not heard, or that your contributions are not valued. Dedicate time to reflect on if you are being influenced by external expectations or advice that's not aligning with your own wants and needs; are you avoiding making decisions or changes because you're afraid of the unknown outcomes? Are you struggling to trust yourself and your abilities? To address The High Priestess reversed, try to identify your core values and priorities, and align them with your future career prospects. An old saying goes ‘if it costs you your happiness, it is too expensive’. Try to seek clarity on what it is that you want out of your current situation, and if the path you are on presently does not reward your goals, consider moving on. In society as it currently stands, work is a dominant part of our lives and if it making you miserable, try to find the strength to jump ship.
This is reinforced by The Nine of Wands reversed, as it points to a sense of burnout and exhaustion regarding your career pursuits. It suggests that you may be feeling overwhelmed by persistent setbacks that have made you question your resilience and it has taken a toll on your confidence. This card often indicates that you have been through a lot, perhaps facing obstacles that feel unending. Unlike its upright counterpart, which indicates perseverance, the reversed position signifies a need to acknowledge that it’s okay to feel “battle-weary” - it is a natural response to prolonged stress and adversity, especially without seeing substantial progress. In addition, the Nine of Wands reversed can highlight an overprotective nature; you may have built walls around yourself as a way to shield from further disappointment or conflict, but these barriers may now hinder your ability to connect with opportunities, and you may have a reluctance to ask for help even when it’s needed. The Nine of Wands reversed advises to take a step back and acknowledge any fears you might have of being vulnerable in the workplace, make a concerted effort to prioritise your well-being and allow yourself to be more open to support from trusted colleagues or friends. It is essential to recognise that while challenges are part of any career journey, there are also limits to what you can bear.
The final card drawn the Strength card upright, which evidences that you possess the necessary qualities to overcome the challenges that you face in your career - not only physical strength but also emotional and spiritual fortitude. In a professional setting, Strength encourages you to face challenges head-on, trusting in your capabilities and instincts. You may find yourself in situations requiring patience, compassion, or assertiveness, and this card reassures you that you have the skills to navigate these scenarios effectively. Moreover, Strength emphasises the importance of self-control and balance. It reminds you that true strength often lies in your ability to manage your emotions and reactions. To harness the energy of the Strength card in your career, trying viewing obstacles not as setbacks but as opportunities for growth. The whole cliche of ‘everything happens for a reason’ comes to mind - try to see even mistakes and failures as a learning curve to expand on. Reflect on past experiences and use these memories to reinforce your self-belief when facing current difficulties.
In conclusion, it is evident that you are currently experiencing significant dissatisfaction in your work environment. A sense of instability, perhaps distrust towards your colleagues, and a lack of appreciation for your contributions have understandably taken a toll on your self-esteem and fueled anxiety. It is crucial to acknowledge these feelings and recognise that they are valid. However, amid these struggles, remember to trust your instincts and focus on your own confidence and capabilities - it is important not to let external negativity or the discontent of those around you undermine your self-worth. The prolonged setbacks you have faced can understandably diminish your motivation and sense of purpose. It is essential to take steps to reclaim your confidence, setting clear goals that resonate with your aspirations and values. By prioritising your well-being and seeking environments that uplift rather than hinder you, you can rediscover your potential. Trust in yourself to make decisions that serve your best interests, and don't hesitate to seek opportunities that align better with your needs and ambitions. Your path to fulfillment and stability is within reach, and you have all the tools necessary to pave the way forward.
