A New Income

[Senkusha]

I've been contemplating finding another job for a while now, and recently I've felt more of a pull toward Spirituality.  I've also gotten more of distaste in corporate job culture as more and more posts I'm seeing on the Internet are low pay for high tasks, and seemingly micromanagement.

I decided that maybe I shoud pursue something on my own,  make something, a small business maybe.  Using a different income stream than a typical Nine-to-five job.  But what?  So I asked the Tarot for some insight, and this is what I got.  I'll be pondering what to make of the results for a couple of days.

"I would like to find an income source that is reliable and sufficient for my current lifestyle needs without having to relocate my residence."  I used the simple three card horizontal spread:



I also asked AI, just for shits and giggles:

Your three-card reading seems to provide an encouraging message about your financial situation and how you can achieve a reliable source of income. Here's a breakdown of the interpretation based on the Thoth Tarot:

1. **Three of Wands (Virtue):**
  - This card represents strength, virtue, and confidence in one's ability to achieve long-term goals. In the context of your question, it suggests that you already possess the inner power and vision to move forward with a business or creative venture. It points toward teamwork, leadership, and harnessing creative energy to build something stable. It implies you should trust in your ability to grow something sustainable, especially related to your passions.

2. **Prince of Cups:**
  - The Prince of Cups is a card of intuition, creativity, and a fluid emotional connection. It suggests you may need to tap into your emotions and creativity to find income that aligns with your deeper self. This card often indicates success through artistic or spiritual endeavors. Since it also speaks of emotional intelligence and flexibility, it could point toward an income stream that allows you to work with others' emotions or creativity, such as helping, advising, or producing something artistically fulfilling (perhaps tied to your interest in Tarot, astrology, or RPG-related projects).

3. **Nine of Cups (Happiness):**
  - The Nine of Cups is the card of contentment and emotional fulfillment. In this context, it suggests that the path you choose will bring you happiness and satisfaction, both emotionally and materially. It's often called the "wish card," meaning that you can expect a positive outcome if you trust the process and follow the emotional, intuitive side (signaled by the Prince of Cups). It suggests that success is within reach, and it will lead to contentment without needing to drastically change your lifestyle.

**Summary:**
The cards suggest that the path to a sustainable and reliable source of income lies in a creative or spiritually fulfilling venture. You already have the foundation (Three of Wands) and the intuition (Prince of Cups) to guide you, and pursuing this path will bring you both financial and emotional fulfillment (Nine of Cups). Trust your creative instincts, whether that means expanding on your Tarot-related interests, artistic endeavors, or the positive, unity-driven art projects you're considering.
