I've been reading many of the topics of this board and I think it's great how people on this board help everyone else out with problems/issues/questions of each others lives.  I went out and bought a tarot deck that grabbed my attention the moment I looked at it, and thought I would give myself a reading...only problem is I'm not as good at interpreting them as some people are on this board.  I did a standard Celtic Cross reading with the main question pertaining to the following:

I have a job as a bartender...it's a good paying job and I love the people I deal with everyday, it's just the people I work for give me a hard time, which makes it difficult to do sometimes and sometimes makes me wonder if this I what I want to do with my life.  On the other side...I have a hobby as a poker player that I've done for 2 years, which I absolutely love to do, and am very good at, which also allows me to make money at the same time. Many people make a living doing this.  The only problem is there can be some instability in it, and I'm always worried about going broke.  People tell me to go for what I love, but on the other hand some people think I'm a fool for even thinking about making it my living.  I just dont know which path to take...the safe path or the adventurous path?  Here's the card layout:

Significator - The Fool

You - King of Swords

Crossing - Ace of Wands

Foundation - The Hanging Man

Past - Eight of Pentacles

Present - Ace of Swords

Future - Queen of Swords

Yourself - Seven of Swords

Environment - The Tower

Hopes and Fears - Knight of Pentacles

Outcome - Strength

If anyone can interpret or put some suggestions or thoughts into the situation it would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi  Badnews Welcome to MB

What deck did you buy? That will affect the readings interpretation and also the fact that you pulled the cards for yourself, rather than someone else pulling them for you.

Have you thought about learning tarot? I run a free tarot class here on Mystic Board if you would like to join in. Have a look at our Mystic Academy

The deck is called the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti.  It's a Rider Waite Tarot deck.  This help any?

Hi, The Rider Waite Tarot and The Gilded Tarot are two different sets....? have a look at our Learn Tarot forum for pictures of them both.

It's a Rider Waite Tarot deck...sorry about the confusion.  I get the definitions, but it's kinda hard to put a story together to answer my question.  That's why I'd like a second opinion and some help from you or whoever can.  I'm think I know what the answer I just need a little help.
