Tarot card position 1

Question

Eight of Cups

I had resigned from my job for a month, but my superior was trying to hold me back in order to see if I would change my mind. No, there is no turning back.

During this period, I gradually handed over and left behind everything job-related. The Eight of Cups tarot card showed me my heart of the matter.

Advice

King of Cups

“What is the most important thing to do now?” At first, I thought that the King of Cups tarot card told me to concentrate on learning tarot further as he is related to intuition after all. Following the initial advice, I did so for a few days but did not feel good. I then thought of my friend who contacted me. He is a Cancerian, a married man with two children, and emotional sometimes. I reached him and knew I had to accept his offer this time around.

Tarot card position 6

Past

Nine of Pentacles

It was really nice to enjoy an unusual lifestyle with savings yet without employment, as illustrated in the Nine of Pentacles tarot card.

Advice

Three of Cups

I tried some online dating sites which have the members of my tribe. Some were nice to chat with; most others just wanted to have fun. And I only chose a few from the former for meeting and having meals like what the women are doing in the Three of Cups tarot card, but none of them were compatible with me, and even worse, from these people, I felt hurt as if I was going through the same negative pattern and baggage brought from the previous relationship. I decided not to meet any online acquaintance anymore since then.

Future

As I commuted to work by train, I had the chance to do some people watching. There was this one guy that I seldom saw. He grabbed my attention, but I did not intend to know him. One day, I caught him staring at me! We were so shy and nervous that we waited for each other to start talking first.

I tried to approach him whenever I saw him, but like the man in the Four of Pentacles tarot card, he just would not budge. I felt drained and left him alone after sensing him using manipulation techniques to make me talk to him first for a couple of times.
