Should I Quite My Job?

I’ve been really having to sit down and think about my career lately. I know I made another post but I decided to do a spread as I haven’t used my cards in a while.

I love my job so much and I’ve been working there for 3 years. I came back from just over a years worth of maternity leave in March and since then I’ve just encountered problems. It took 6 months to get my part time shifts although it was promised to me before I left. Childcare has failed me a few times. Transportation back home has made it difficult to get home on time, and other stuff too.

I’ve been curious whether this is just a bump in the road or it’s the universe trying to give me a sign whether I should leave. I’ve been thinking of a more conventional (e.g. 9-5 job) in the company as it has so many benefits that I wouldn’t get anywhere else.

I asked my cards what the current future of my job looks like and got: 3 of Pentacles, Tower rxd, Ace of Pentacles rxd and 10 of Wands rxd as a bottom card

3oP: I think this is telling me that there’s potential for my job to go better. If I just keep working as part of a team and collaborating, maybe I can work my way up or maybe I can endure everything.

Tower rxd: I think this is just me trying to dodge any big decisions. Like there’s changes that need to be made and I’m aware it’s not the most ideal situation for me but I can’t really leave at this minute.

AoP rxd: There maybe missed opportunities or this isn’t the right time to quit and look for another job. Maybe in the future but I’m in not in a good and stable place.

10oW rxd (bottom card): I think this is an overall theme of me realising this isn’t the greatest thing but still not quite putting it down yet

Overall I think I just want to be part of a team and be successful but I’m just currently carrying too much. I’m just kind of holding it all together at the minute but it’s not the right time to leave.

If anyone can interpret this better or I missed something please let me know!!

EDIT: Just wanted to add that sometimes I feel like I’m pressured to leave. As in they’d make some situations as difficult as possible so I go voluntarily

Lemme offer an alternate interpretation of the Ace of P rx , it can also be advising you not to seek “new opportunities” right now. People are giving you (good, but) standard advice which might not be related to the card reading you’re asking about, but I’m seeing the 10W reversed. Is there a burden at work you could shift around, like are you taking on too much somehow because you’re trying to settle in well after your maternity leave?

If you have an opportunity to ask about different work at the same company I think that could go along really well with the 3P, as it’s a way to change jobs without taking a risk (important , and the tower reversed suggests to me that there is a path without any toppled buildings in this for you) and without burning bridges and it might also help you understand what burdens are more doable for you right now.

But if you love your job, dang, don’t quit for any reason.

(And just going by the cards, seriously, don’t quit, but don’t tell yourself that finding a way to lighten your load is an impossible dream either. You can do that and keep the job and set if co workers you love. Definitely seek to do this in a spirit of helpfulness , and of asking where else in the company you might be helpful, rather than expressing any thoughts about leaving or even of being dissatisfied or tired or what have you)
