Card 1 – WORKING

This Card describes something that you’re currently doing for your career or goal that is working. It may describe the successful action itself, your motivation for taking the action, or the circumstances that surround the action. This card is pointing out success or progress, and telling you to keep going. If this Card does not seem to match something that’s working, consider the possibility that something is working better than you realize or think.

Card 2 – CHANGE

This Card describes something you’re currently doing that is not working. The cards are either telling you to stop doing this, or else to rethink your approach. It may be a modifier of Card 1, describing how you could modify your approach to make it even more successful, or it could point to something completely unrelated. Either way, the Cards are asking you to take a step back and re-evaluate this effort.

Card 3 – SHOULD

This Card describes something you’re not currently doing that you should be if you want to achieve your career objectives. It is what the Cards are telling you to go and do – look to Cards 1 and 2 for inspiration if it’s not clear what action this Card is indicating or how to go about it. Click on any correspondences that show up on more than one card for additional ideas and inspiration.

Career Action Reading

Discover what action the cards recommend for you at this point in your career. They will assess your current position and lend insight into what’s working, what’s not, and how to proceed. This reading can be about any long-term effort, not just what you do for your job. The words and ideas that happen to appear on your cards at this moment will give you hints as to where your current trajectory is headed so that you can decide whether and how to adjust course.

As always, remember that the cards do not need to be interpreted literally, sometimes need to be interpreted creatively, and even loose connections they spark are significant because they came to mind.

Zodiac Cards

Optionally, draw two Zodiac Cards for a hint about someone who could help your career, and someone who might hinder it:

Doing a Reading

Ask or Explore

Tarot is versatile. You can ask a specific question—like “How can I improve my career?”—or simply draw cards to explore broader themes, such as relationships, personal growth, or hidden possibilities in your life.

Notice the Details

Every card has a position and context. These give a useful starting point, but pay attention to what stands out most vividly. Even if a card’s meaning initially seems unrelated, it might be highlighting something important you’re overlooking.

Trust Your Intuition

The cards guide you toward deeper connections and new insights. Trust your first reactions and intuitive impressions. If something resonates, explore it further. Often, Tarot reveals exactly what you need to hear, even if it differs from your initial question.

Fool’s Key Philosophy

Wisdom Through Chance

At Fool’s Key, Tarot’s magic lies in the randomness of the draw. Unexpected combinations of symbols and meanings can illuminate thoughts you didn’t even know were on your mind.

Patterns & Possibilities

Tarot doesn’t predict a fixed future. Instead, it helps you recognize hidden patterns, explore new possibilities, and navigate the path ahead with greater insight.

A Mirror for Your Mind

Each card reflects your inner landscape—thoughts, feelings, ideas just below the surface. Through rich symbolism, Tarot provides clarity and a deeper awareness of yourself.

Correspondences
