Three Card Draw for the February full moon.

[itew]

(The full moon looks especially cool tonight, by the way)

Hallo, I'm doing another Three Card Draw. This is open until 12 pm GMT on Tuesday 18th February, and any questions asked until it's marked closed count.

It is entirely free, although there is a tip jar at the bottom.

I'm your host, Inigo- I've been practising Tarot for about three years

The nine of swords shows a person sitting up in bed, heads in their hands and clearly in distress with nine swords behind them. It suggests sleeplessness, worry and feeling trapped, especially feeling that your current worries are inescapable. This, especially since it falls in the “past” section of the spread, be about the circumstances that lead to you taking this career change, or it could be the worry you are feeling about it now. I would say that this card also warns against being too preoccupied by your fears and worries about the situation, but also that they are out of your control and that you can acknowledge being overwhelmed by them and the distress they cause.
Your next card is the Hermit. This shows an elderly man in a robe holding up a lamp, as he stands in the snow. It suggests needing to withdraw from social situations and to allow time to assess what you are thinking and feeling right now, to draw on your own energy around making decisions. I would say, with your question this suggests not getting too drawn into the ancillary events or involvement which might come with your career change- to allow yourself time and space to work out your own direction and reactions, however much time this takes. Do not rush into action.
Finally, you’ve got the Ace of Swords. This shows a hand holding a sword emerging from cloud, with a crown on the top of the sword with leaves coming down from each side of the crown. It is above a landscape of green and brown hills. It suggests new starts, new beginnings, and also an element of power and strength: you have it in you now to do a great deal. Swords are two sided, they can cut both ways, so be mindful that you are using your power and ability for good purposes at the moment, don’t get caught up in pettiness, and be aware of the power you currently have.
Overall I would say this reading says to try and be very aware of your motivations at the moment, to be willing to consider your actions at length and then to take the (potentially major) next step with all this in mind.
Hope this helps.

That's a different reading of the 9 of swords than I'm used to, but it fits, especially the need for more sleep. The rest fits too. Thank you.
