There are two areas that cover 99% of what people ask in Tarot readings. And they are – guess what? – love and money.
To be more specific about the latter, a lot of people are very worried about finances right now. Younger people, older people, many of us are living just a paycheck away from destitution.
Most of the questions that revolve around finances can be broken down into two major areas: Should I keep this job? And, should I take that new job?
Unfortunately, that frequently breaks down further into, “I really, really hate my job but I’m afraid to quit it.” And, “I’m really thinking about taking this new job, but how do I know it isn’t going to be just another hell hole?”
Obviously, the Tarot can’t make those decisions for us, but it can put up some pretty clear markers one way or the other. In keeping with that, here are the top ten cards that indicate that, yes, we should take that new job.
The Top 10 Tarot “Yes” Cards for a New Job
1. The Magician
This card is all about skill and personal power. If you’re considering a new role, The Magician suggests you already have the tools and talent you need to succeed. It’s a reminder that you can create your own opportunities — and this one is ready for you to shape.
2. The Sun
Few cards are as positive as The Sun. It brings energy, confidence, and joy. In career terms, it signals that the new job will bring vitality and success — the kind of role where you can thrive, not just survive.
3. The World
The World represents completion and stepping into a bigger arena. It’s a sign that an old cycle is closing, and a new, more expansive chapter is waiting. Professionally, this card says, “Yes — you’re ready for the next level.”
4. Ace of Pentacles
The Ace of Pentacles is the clearest symbol of a new financial or career opportunity. Think of it as the seed of prosperity being handed to you. It’s a resounding “yes” that the new role holds real promise.
5. Three of Pentacles
This card highlights teamwork, recognition, and skill-sharing. If it shows up, it suggests the new job will give you the chance to collaborate with others and be appreciated for your contributions.
6. Six of Wands
The Six of Wands is about victory, advancement, and being noticed. In a career spread, it signals success in your new role and the recognition that comes with it.
7. Eight of Pentacles
This is the card of steady skill-building and mastery. If you’re entering a new field or learning new tasks, the Eight of Pentacles assures you that you’ll gain expertise and grow stronger through the work itself.
8. The Star
The Star brings inspiration, hope, and alignment with your higher purpose. In job matters, it suggests the new opportunity isn’t just a paycheck — it’s a chance to do something meaningful that feeds your spirit.
9. Two of Wands
The Two of Wands is about expansion and long-term vision. It tells you that the new job opens up possibilities for growth, planning, and future success. It’s less about a quick win and more about building something lasting.
10. Ten of Pentacles
This is the card of stability, prosperity, and legacy. If it appears, it suggests the new role has the potential to provide long-term security, financial reward, and a sense of belonging within a larger structure.
What These Cards Have in Common
Looking at these ten cards together, a pattern emerges:
Material success & stability: Ace, Eight, Ten, and Three of Pentacles.
Recognition & growth: The Magician, The World, and Six of Wands.
Fulfillment & inspiration: The Sun, The Star, and Two of Wands.
When these cards appear in your spread, they point to opportunity, alignment, and security — the kind of energies that make a new job worth considering.
A Note of Balance
Of course, not every card says “yes.” It’s always sweet when we get clear yes and no cards in a reading, but sometimes they can be frustratingly ambiguous.
When that happens, the Tarot suggests waiting, rethinking, or being cautious about what’s really on offer. The future may reveal that the opportunity isn’t as golden as it first appears or maybe it will be. Things are still developing.
In a future post, we’ll explore the Top 10 “No” Cards for a New Job — the ones that raise red flags and encourage you to pause before leaping.
Conclusion
Deciding whether to take a new job is never easy. It’s a choice that can ripple out through every part of your life. While Tarot can’t choose for you, it can help reveal whether the energies surrounding a new opportunity are supportive, promising, and aligned with your bigger goals.
So the next time you’re staring at an offer letter, pull out your deck. If the “yes” cards show up, it may just be the Universe’s way of saying: step forward with confidence.
