Job Change Decision

The Job Change Decision spread is laid out as a seven-card horseshoe. It helps you weigh the decision: what your current job gives you, what you really want, what holds you back and which opportunities are already nearby.

When to use this spread

  • When you are thinking of quitting but have doubts.
  • When you have an offer from another company.
  • When work no longer brings joy and you do not know why.

Spread positions

  1. 1
    The Current Role

    What your current job gives you and what it takes away.

  2. 2
    What You Truly Want

    The real wish behind thoughts of change: money, meaning, freedom, recognition.

  3. 3
    Hidden Influence

    What quietly shapes the decision: fear, other people’s expectations, habit.

  4. 4
    The Obstacle

    The main thing holding the change back.

  5. 5
    The Opportunity Around You

    Opportunities already around you — even if you do not notice them.

  6. 6
    Advice

    What the cards advise you to do.

  7. 7
    Outcome of the Change

    The likely result if you decide to make the change.

How to read the spread

Compare the first and second cards: the gap between your current role and what you really want shows how urgently a change is needed.

Cards 5 and 6 are the practical part of the spread. Strong opportunities plus advice that supports movement are a good sign for change; if the advice says wait, prepare first.

Frequently asked questions

Will the spread tell me whether to quit?
It will not decide for you, but it shows the motives, risks and opportunities — so your decision becomes a conscious one.
Can I compare two offers?
Yes: do a separate spread for each, phrasing the question about that specific option.
