Career Path
The Career Path spread looks at work more broadly than your current job. Five cards in a cross show the main theme of your professional path, where you came from, where you stand now, where to go next and the potential that opens up over time.
When to use this spread
- When you feel stuck and are looking for direction.
- Before studying, changing profession or starting your own business.
- Once a year — as a review of your professional growth.

How to read the spread
The top card (theme) is the compass of the spread. Check whether the next direction (4) agrees with it: if it does, you are on your path; if not, it is worth revisiting your goals.
The bottom card (potential) shows the best-case scenario. Compare it with where you stand now — the gap between them is your room to grow.
