Questioner comments: "I have been working at a well-known company for the past year. Recently I got an offer to work at a start-up company. I was offered a higher position but the salary is the same. I felt that my opportunities to rise to a higher position at the well-known company would come very slowly, so I took the offer. Now, I feel as if I made a mistake. Should I have accepted the offer?"
The reading:
There are mostly sixes in this reading and the numerical theme is six sugesting that transition is a big issue here and also that issues of responsibility and duty play a significant role in your concerns. The Queen of Diamonds and the number six have similar characteristics. The Queen of Diamonds is more concerned about emotional security than financial security. She likes her environment to be comfortable and to offer the type of security she needs. She is a good planner and organizer, very practical, and she likes to be in supportive roles. Does this sound like you? This card suggests that you are more concerned with how you feel in your working environment rather than with the size or status of the firm. Perhaps you are looking for a smaller, cozier company.
The 5 of Spades suggests an uncomfortable environment where everyone is out for themselves and acting in their own self-interest. I'm not sure whether this is the new job or the old one, however, I get the impression that it is the company that you are leaving. If the firm is a big one, it may have been very impersonal which is contrary to your Queen of Diamonds personality. This card also suggests that perhaps you are leaving the company with a sense of defeat as if you couldn't cut it there. Your biggest challenge is leaving this firm and getting over all the regret you now feel. The 6 of Spades deals with leaving the past behind and moving toward new shores. It shows that you are dealing with the insecurities, fears and worries of facing the future and what it holds.
The outcome suggests that you may return to a past environment or situation that felt safe and predictable, which may relate to going back to the well-known company. However, I think this card suggests some of its emotional connotations. The 6 of Hearts also relates to helping and taking care of the needs of others, which you may be doing by assisting the new firm in its startup process. The 6 of Hearts still shows a strong desire and longing to return to the past. The final result card shows victory and success. It is a card of acclaim and recognition and shows that your efforts will pay off in the long-run. It is a card relating to inspiring and motivating others and it suggests that you will be successful on your current path and in the role and position you desire.
