Deck: 1909 Waite Smith (By A.E. Waite & P. Colman Smith)

Card Notes

General: You are unwilling to take the steps that will move you to a better place. Perhaps you're deceiving yourself or stalling due to fear, but delaying only worsens things. Stop making excuses and choose a course of action.

Ten of Swords: Money: Represents a time of recovery after hardship or loss. A new cycle is beginning and better times may wait around the corner, but you must take the first step.
Career: You still feel insecure about your future, but to reach a more satisfactory place, you'll have to take a risk. Stop letting the past prevent you from embracing new possibilities.
Love/Romance: You may still be smarting from a deception, disappointment, or betrayal, but at least you can see more clearly now. You may experience a new sense of freedom if a relationship has ended.

General: A promise of happiness and fulfillment. You've marshaled your energies during times of struggle and overcome obstacles. Now, you're on top and can expect recognition and rewards. You feel good about yourself and your accomplishments. Sometimes, this card shows recovery from an illness or setback.

Six of Wands: Money: You can expect financial success. A long-term investment may pay off now or you may receive a raise/bonus.
Career: This can indicate getting a promotion, receiving respect for your efforts, or seeing a creative project come to fruition. Enjoy your well-deserved success.
Love/Romance: A time of happiness, love, and cooperation in a relationship. If you're seeking a partner, this card offers encouragement for true love.

General: You may conflict with an established order, perhaps at work or with your family, religion, or ethnic group. If representing an actual person, they are overbearing, chauvinistic, or self-righteous. Conversely, this individual can be cowardly, indecisive, or lack confidence. Sometimes, it shows a loss of power or status and subsequent feelings of weakness or vulnerability.

4 – The Emperor: Money: You may lack the acumen to make or manage money successfully, or a lack of self-confidence may prevent you from getting ahead financially. The reverse Emperor may indicate a situation in which you must stand up to adversaries and protect what's yours.
Career: You may feel pressured to accept responsibilities you don't want or feel capable of handling. Perhaps you lost a job through downsizing, or you lack the energy required to reach your goals. This can also indicate a need for more experience, drive, or skill. If you're trying to please someone else or fit a role that's been dictated to you, it may be time to take the reins yourself.
Love/romance: Coldness, criticism, or an overly controlling nature. One person in the relationship is the boss who calls all the shots. This can also mean immaturity, lack of commitment, or infertility.

General: A new beginning, one full of passion and rich with promise. You're ready to express yourself in a new, dynamic way. You want to be seen in a new light. You're bringing your creativity to bear in an exciting endeavor, and you're psyched about the possibilities opening up before you. This is known as the "Go for it" card.

Ace of Wands: Money: Suggesting profits coming from a creative venture. It can also mean investing your resources and energy in a new enterprise you feel passionate about.
Career: You're expressing yourself passionately through a creative endeavor, perhaps even forging a new identity. You're totally focused on your objective, and your enthusiasm will help you achieve success.
Love/romance: The Ace of Wands promises new love of a highly romantic, joyful, and passionate kind. It can also mean loyalty, commitment, and a strong sense of purpose - perhaps of a creative nature in an existing partnership.

General: This is the "wake up" card. You're gaining self-awareness, judging your actions, choices, and life situation by determining what you want to keep and what to let go of. This is a time of coming clean to yourself, assessing the good, bad, and the ugly, so you can chart your course from here on with greater clarity and maturity.

20 – Judgement: Money: You're facing a choice in a financial matter - your choice will impact the present and your future, too. You may look for advice from others, but only you can decide.
Career: Your current work situation no longer meets your needs, but you're reluctant to make a change because you're not clear about what the future holds. It can also mean a bad decision of yours or someone else's has adversely affected you, or you may be judging yourself and others too harshly. (If I know you, it's likely the latter).
Love/romance: You're facing a decision about a relationship. The Judgement in the upright position also suggests you're becoming more tolerant and less judgmental of yourself and others.

Summary:

Over the next four years, your immediate future will be full of pivotal moments in almost every major aspect of your life! While your career can anticipate some high points, you'll need to do some soul-searching to find what gives you purpose and makes you truly happy. Looks like you'll be doing that deep dive sooner rather than later.

Financially, you have some moves to make, and no one can make them for you. Start at the foundation of how you were raised to view money and those who have it. From there, determine what it is you would like money to help you accomplish. Finally, you will need to (pardon my French) shit or get off the pot with key decisions you are weighing during this time.

In the realm of love/romance, you will be required to bring "More passion! More footwork! More Energy!" You may have had a rough go at things up until now. Those days appear to be behind you. You should consider what it is that you want in your ideal partner. To manifest this person in your life, ...
