Hello, Connected Women 💖
How are you feeling this Easter? Are you feeling that the year has gone really quickly, but it’s as if you’ve done a year’s work in just a few months?
If so, it’s not just you. It’s the accumulation of worldwide stressful conditions and the draining nature of having so much uncertainty in our lives. Meanwhile, personal and family issues haven’t stopped popping their demanding heads up.
So for many reasons, this weekend is a wonderful time for a reading.
And with a full moon rising, a beautiful Easter symbol has appeared in one of this week’s cards.
Let’s see what the cards have to say about the influences in your current work and career situation.
Card 1 | The Chariot – Driving to Success
This a good card to open with. The Chariot shows movement in a particular direction. Driven by intense energy, it brings about rapid progress and change.
In your work, it can signify overnight success after a long period of endeavour. This is when you achieve results through the power of your will.
Have you been working especially hard on a project or in a role? If this card applies, you will know about it, whether you’re scored results or are still waiting (hey, they’re not far away!).
Make no bones about it, we’re talking about a state of victory here. Whatever it is that you are trying to achieve, you’re nearly there – or may even be there already.
This is a Major Arcana card, so it’s referring to the bigger themes in your life. That means it’s safe to say this focus is something you care deeply about – we’re talking far more than daily bean counting.
Remember to congratulate yourself. This success shows that when you focus your efforts on the right thing at the right time, you really can make a change.
Where to next? Let’s see what the second card has to say.
Card 2 | Ace of Cups – Open Your Heart
This card shows that you can now afford to draw breath and reconnect with your intuitive side.
In this card, the chalice is brimming with water, the element of emotion. Five streams of water flow freely, representing your senses and the flow of your subconscious.
Aces are beginnings and the Ace of Cups indicates that positive new feelings coming into your life.
It’s possible that with all the hard work signified by the Chariot, you’ve lost that sense of who you are as a professional. Now is the time to tap into your emotional side again. The white dove, a beautiful symbol at Easter, shows that this is a safe time to do so.
Is there an aspect of work that is moving you in some way? You may be partially aware of this, interpreting it as a gut feeling but not giving it much attention. Change that up now! As you’re responding on an intuitive level, could it be a creative impulse that will benefit your work?
Take note of what your intuition is telling you. You’re in a strong position to take this creativity forward, for this is the start of a new productive phase for you.
Card 3 | Page of Cups – Making Creative Progress
The Page of Cups confirms that this a time for learning to work more with your intuition.
New insights may come to you, illuminating emerging situations as well as ones that you may have come across before.
When making a decision, it may help to take a moment to connect with your feelings. What to do they tell you – is this the right way to go?
This may not mean your decision are otherwise wrong, but simply that sometimes your thinking or actions can be adapted to make an outcome even better.
How do you feel about adding an emotionally guided quality to your work?
The Page of Cups is holding the emotional cup aloft, while pointing at the ground. The message is to engage your emotions, yet keep your feet on the ground, with sound actions and decisions.
It can certainly help your workplace relationships if you listen to those around you. (BTW, The Page can also represent a young and sensitive person who’s around, whose creativity may work well with yours.)
There’s definitely a place for emotions in the workplace, if balanced with your knowledge, experience and skills. It’s one of the areas where women excel.
The Hardest Part is Behind You Now
This reading shows that your endeavours until now have been worthwhile, meaning you can afford to drop a gear and work in a slightly different way.
The Chariot indicates that your hard work and focus have been successful, bringing you to a place of success.
The Ace of Cups is saying that it’s now safe to bring more intuition to your work, allowing your personal creativity to come into new projects or ventures, while nuturing professional relationships.
The Page of Cups adds his voice here, showing that there is an art to bringing your emotions and creativity to your work, and that this art can be learned.
The news that you can ease back and work in a slightly different way may come as a relief. Until now, success may have meant survival of the business or organsiation, or merely just holding onto your job, or finding a new one.
All economies have taken a hit, rocking the boat for every organisation out there. With pressure lifting, you can now afford to work in a more creative, constructive and ultimately fulfilling way.
On this Easter weekend, I wish you every success going forward.
With love, Jane 🦋
