Hello Cedars, I hope you remember me, there´s quite a long time I asked for a reading, and as you are always so right and precise on your readings, I wish to have another if possible.
I want to know about my job, I am in between jobs, I am working in the same office, as an architect, finishing a big job.  But I am anxious and insecure about my future there, and also because in the process of developing this last job I had some issues with my boss. I am not sure of what he is thinking about me or if he plans to keep me in his staff. He said nothing. I asked nothing. I am a good co worker. I know he knows it and that he knows he can trust me. But sometimes I think he prefered someone with less experience, that would look and behave impressed with his ideas...I am very passionate for my job and I am always fighting for the best, and sometimes I desagree with him. It´s only because of the job, not a personal thing, but you know...he is the boss and I am afraid he is getting irritated with this...could you see what the cards show for me about this and about my carreer, my future?
Thanks a lot my dear.
Hugs

Hi Viviane

I am glad to hear you are doing well with your job, as I remember in the past you were having some issues there. It looks like you are having some issues now too, but I feel that these issues could probably be of your own making, or in your own mind. We can never get on 100% with our bosses and sometimes a little bit of diplomacy makes our life easier in the workplace. Whether we like it or not, we all have bosses wherever we are in life. Even presidents have bosses – if they don’t listen to them, they lose their jobs.

Anyhow, let us look at the cards. I am using the Rider Waite deck.

What is working for you? Ace of Wands.
There are new beginnings for you (which I feel you may already be in it) in the area of new passions, creativity, a new job perhaps or a project, towards which you have been putting all your energies and efforts. This is you, this works for you; you like being busy and creative and you are good at it too.

What is working against you? The Tower.
I feel you have this tendency to change things altogether and possibly start afresh?  Now, if this change was beyond your control, I feel your attitude towards the job or your boss might be similar to that of the Tower where you wish to change everything and have it the way you think is right. Coming back to the change being out of your control, I still feel you keep some control over it and minimise the damage.  Changes are not necessarily bad thing to happen, but it feels to me you may be triggering this change or giving cause to it which may not be for your benefit.

How to combine these two in order to succeed? Justice.
You need to be fair with your dealings in your job and towards your boss and not get carried away with your emotions. Being just and fair is virtually being free of emotions and seeing the truth only – not only about the others, but also about yourself. There needs to be some balance within your own mindset about your relationship with your boss and, indeed, about your style of work. You may at times be better than your boss at the things you do, but he is your boss whether you like it or not and this you should recognise and accept and try not to intimate him/her.
I get the feeling that because of your successes, you are trying a little bit to get ahead of yourself and I do not blame your boss for getting ‘irritated’ with that behaviour. Wouldn’t you? You are a talented woman and you can find within your own mind a sense of justice – not to mention diplomacy – on how to handle this situation. That way you do not cause the Tower coming down in a rubble of dust and make peace and justice within the job arena.

How does this make you feel?

Oh Cedars! I am smilling now. You are sweet!
I am not all that good, but I love my job and I work with passion.
In the end maybe I was too anxious and I still am, and anxiety makes us see and imagine a lot of things.

Things between me an my boss are getting calmer and your cards make me feel I was punished for my behavior qith a very hurtful and painful shock that really scared me. From day to night a big project I was working into for one year was suspended. My boss was deeply shocked when he got back from the meeting he was told this, as he would lose a lot of money and a year of work. I felt falling down in a big hole when he told me. It made me and my boss get angry with each other.  
But now I see it was a result of many wrong things we were both doing. The tower!

From the begining we were both working in this project without any willpower or drive, he was proposing and drawing simple, lazy and ugly solutions, very far from what he is used to do. Thanks to my guesses and inputs he changed a little bit and in the end we had a good job. I am proud of what we are doing and so is him. But yet, he was always saying he was tired of that project, that the money he would get from it was not good enough and that he would probably give up, you know, pass it to any other office to finish it. And I was contaminated by the same mood. I was not working on it with the same passion from the begining. And I am sure we were punished fro that. We needed this shock to stay humble and active again.

As these last 2 weeks passed, he called me to work in another project. He seems to be calmer and happier, not cranky or rispid as he had been for a year. So I decided to low my tone and behave. And work with determination again. I think the Justice is a perfect card for the change in our mood and behavior.
And for our surprise...today, when I was leaving, he was answering the phone and told me he was called for another meeting, and that it is very possible that the big lost project will not be suspended. Oh GOD!! I hope to see this project built.

I think all that happened to teach us both a lesson.
As always, you were right my dear Cedars!
Thank you so much!
Hugs and blessings

I am glad to hear it Viv and, as you yourself said, this may have been trying times for you two. I sincerely wish and hope that the new project comes your way and you two can work together harmoniously.

Thank you for your feedback; I really appreciated it.

Blessings.
