Everyone seems to put their own spin the Celtic Cross, so I'm not going to read the whole thing.

I'm going to assume that Queen of Swords covers the present and the Page of Coins crosses her. I would say that these cards represent two aspects of you. On one hand a smart and savvy adult who is very cable in her domain. On the other, an inexperienced or fledgling business person. Reading this together, that you really know your craft, but not the business side of things and that is one of the things that is holding your back from taking the plunge in running your careers a freelancer/business person.

Very briefly, I read the 10 of Wands reversed as saying that you're working very hard right and may not being seeing the results that you want from it. All burn out and no pay out.

10 of Cups tells me you have a lot of emotional support and encouragement from the people around you. Justice reversed tells me you're afraid of people not fairly considering your skills or alternatively that you're hoping for special treatment from some clients.

The Magician - generally I would consider this as a "go" card - you have the power to make the change in your life that you want to make. I would also suggest that you keep things lean. His number is 1 and I'm getting the sense that freelancing may be better than opening an office, at least for now. Some Magicians are mages who shape the world around them. In other decks, they are showmen and tricksters. I get the impression that showmanship or marketing may be suggested as well as something that will help you be more successful.

One thing that concerns me about the overall reading is there are not a lot of pentacles/coins anywhere (just the Page). Even with the auspicious Magician card as a final outcome, I think there will be a lot of work and networking to get your business up and running and that you might not be profitable right way. From what I understand, that is not unusually for small businesses. You may want to be prepared for that to be the case though.

yeah, when I turned the magician I felt it was a real GO card myself. and the other points you brought up are good to think on as well.

Over all I was thinking, as long as I plan things well, I should be fine.

Thank you very much! This has been helpful! ^ ^
