Searching for a new job can sometimes feel overwhelming.
You write endless applications, go to nerve-racking interviews, and ask yourself, “Am I going in the right direction?”
What if you had a little extra input on things?
This is where a career tarot reading for job can help. Tarot is not about telling you 100% what the future has in store for you.
Rather, it is about clarity, perspective, and uncovering opportunities that may be lurking below the surface—precisely what you need with regard to your job search.
Here are a few ways a tarot reading can help you navigate your working life with more certainty and confidence.
Uncovers what you want in a career
Most times we don’t actually know what we want at all, let alone in a career.
Instead, we chase a job for money, stability, or simply because we are told to.
A career tarot reading for job cuts through all that.
Working with cards such as
✅ The Sun → You were born to do work that is fulfilling and brings joy.
✅ Eight of Pentacles → Time to sharpen those skills or specialize in something.
✅ The Star → A sign and encouragement to follow your true calling.
Tarot allows you to ask yourself, “Do I actually want this job, or am I just scared to try something else?”
2. Uncovers Hidden Barriers
Why aren’t you receiving callbacks? Why do interviews always fall through?
Tarot can open your eyes to hidden blocks.
✅ Five of Swords → Are you having the right approach, or are you self-sabotaging your attempts?
✅ Five of Pentacles → A paralyzing fear of not having enough keeps you from leaving a job that’s harmful.
✅ The Devil → You feel stuck in an unhealthy work situation.
Once you can see these patterns, you can take action, such as updating your resume, making some key connections, or quitting that energy-draining job.
3. Validates (or Challenges) Your Next Action
Are you stuck between two job offers? Could you see yourself as a freelancer?
A career tarot reading for a job can act like a mirror; for instance:
✅ Knight of Wands → “Take the leap! This new position will re-energize you!”
✅ Four of Swords → “Take a beat—don’t burn yourself out. Rest first.”
✅ Ten of Pentacles→ “This situation offers you an opportunity for long-term security.”
Certainly, it won’t make the decision for you, but it will help you feel confident about your choice.
4. Provides a Boost of Confidence Prior to an Interview
Are you nervous about an upcoming interview? You can pull a card to help put things into perspective:
✅ The Magician → “You have all the skills—now it’s time to own it!”
✅ Queen of Swords → “Be sharp. Be articulate. Be confident.”
Ultimately, even a simple single card pull can shift your mindset from “I hope they like me” to “I’ve got this!”
5. Shows You Where To Take Action
Is this the time to leave? Is there a better offer out there?
For example, the cards:
✅ Three of Wands → “Opportunities will come—wait.”
✅ Ace of Pentacles → “Now is the time to apply—there are new doors opening.”
In job searches, timing is everything. Tarot offers a way to act strategically, rather than reactively, and helpfully highlights possibilities.
What You Can Do to Maximize Your Career Reading for Job
Ask focused questions: “What are the things that are getting in the way of my job search?” compared to “Am I getting a job?”
Pay attention to the suit, and if there are multiple cards indicating to wait, i.e., the Hanged Man, trust the process of waiting.
Write it down: If you get intuitive hits throughout the reading, journal them.
Dreaming about getting a job can also have some significant impact on your spiritual well-being.
Final Thoughts: Tarot is a Filter, not a Crystal Ball
You are not going to get given a job on a plate because you have had a career tarot reading. With tarot you will be able to:
✔️ Get clear on what you really want.
✔️ Deal with any mental or emotional blocks, e.g., if you are in avoidance or waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself.
✔️ Identify opportunities that you might have already missed.
Ultimately, the career path ahead of you is your choice; tarot is a signpost that may help you along the way.
