Can Tarot cards predict whether my boss will give me a raise?

Hello, regarding the question of a salary raise, many people wonder if Tarot cards can provide an answer. I can share my experience and perspective with you.

You shouldn't treat Tarot cards as a magic crystal ball that can directly tell you "yes" or "no." The future isn't set in stone; it changes based on your choices and actions.

Tarot cards are more like a "situation analyst" or a "strategy consultant."

When you ask, "Will my boss give me a raise?", the cards don't reveal a definite "yes" or "no" outcome. Instead, they present all the relevant information surrounding the situation, such as:

1. Your current state: How is your performance at work? Is your value truly deserving of a raise? The cards might show you as diligent and hardworking (like the Eight of Pentacles) or perhaps a bit complacent.
2. The boss's or company's state: What is your boss's current opinion of you? How are the company's finances lately? If cards like the Ten of Pentacles (representing abundance) or The Sun (representing success) appear, it suggests a favorable overall environment, making a raise more likely. However, if The Tower (representing sudden change) or the Five of Pentacles (representing financial hardship) appears, it might not be a good time.
3. Key obstacles or aids: Are there things you haven't noticed that are influencing the outcome? For example, is a colleague speaking ill of you behind your back (possibly the Seven of Swords), or did you miss an excellent opportunity?
4. Advice and the most likely trend: This is the most valuable part of a Tarot reading. It tells you what is most likely to happen if you do nothing, based on the current situation. More importantly, it offers advice, such as whether you should proactively approach your boss now, work harder to prove yourself, or perhaps hold off for a while.

So, to summarize: Tarot cards cannot give you a 100% certain answer, but they can help you clearly understand the entire context of the "raise" situation, including its pros and cons, and then provide you with the best course of action. They don't tell you your "destiny," but rather help you "plan" how to achieve your desired outcome.

This is an excellent question, and many people share this confusion. My experience is that directly asking Tarot cards, "Will my boss give me a raise?" might result in a somewhat vague answer. It's like asking the weather forecast, "Will I get wet if I go out tomorrow?"

The weather forecast won't directly answer "yes" or "no," but it will tell you, "There's an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, with thunderstorms." Then you know it's best to bring an umbrella when you go out.

Tarot cards are similar; they won't give you a direct "yes" or "no" answer, but they can provide more useful information, like a detailed "Salary Increase Possibility Analysis Report":

1. The Boss/Company's Status: The cards might reveal whether the company is currently profitable, if your boss is in a good mood lately, or if they're particularly impressed with you due to a recent project success. Or, perhaps the company is facing financial strain, and your boss is overwhelmed, making it the worst possible time to ask for a raise.

2. Your Own Status and Performance: Tarot cards can clearly reflect how your work performance is perceived by your boss and colleagues. Are you a diligent, indispensable core employee (e.g., drawing the Ten of Pentacles), or someone who seems busy but hasn't made critical contributions (e.g., drawing the Eight of Swords)? This can help you objectively assess whether you have sufficient grounds to ask for a raise.

3. Potential Opportunities and Obstacles: Sometimes, a raise doesn't happen not because you're not good enough, but because of unseen factors. For example, is another colleague also vying for the same opportunity? Or, is there an issue with your communication style that might be causing your boss to misunderstand your intentions? Tarot cards might use certain cards (like The Moon, Seven of Swords) to alert you to these "hidden messages."

4. Best Course of Action: This is the most valuable part of Tarot. It will tell you, based on the current situation, whether you should talk to your boss immediately (e.g., drawing the Knight of Wands), or if you should patiently prepare more and prove yourself with further achievements (e.g., drawing the Eight of Pentacles)? Should you talk directly about money, or start by discussing career development, letting the raise become a natural outcome?

Let's take an example. If you draw the "King of Pentacles" and "The Sun," it might mean your boss highly values you, and the company is in excellent shape. Talking about a raise now would have a very high success rate. However, if "The Tower" and "Five of Pentacles" appear, it might be a warning that the company could be facing upheaval or a financial crisis. Now would definitely not be a good time to discuss money; securing your job should be the priority.

So, to summarize:

Don't treat Tarot cards as a crystal ball that can predict the future.

Treat them as a professional career consultant who understands you deeply. They can't go into the boss's office and talk for you, but they can help you analyze the situation behind the door, tell you when to knock, what to say when you knock, and help you prepare a perfect pitch.

Ultimately, the act of pushing that door open still has to be done by you. What Tarot cards give you is the confidence and wisdom to do so.
