Hi Aja! Could I ask you for a tarot reading from the Ophidia Rosa deck? I'm finishing up an English degree this spring and I've been thinking a lot lately about how to transition out of academia and into the real world, so any insight would be really great. Thanks a bunch
hi hi!
i’m so sorry for the late reply @annabyday but I hope this is still useful!
The Queen of Wands is a powerful card of action and release. It represents the archetype, in all its flaws, of the Strong Independent Woman — someone who is bold and assertive, confident and fiercely individualistic.
To me, this card is a reminder to you that as you get ready to leave an environment that may have, up til now, been a very familiar and welcoming place full of established order, you need to be consciously selfish as you let go of those things and strike out for something new. You have the chance to basically remake your life from scratch from here, and that’s exciting and challenging and scary. This card is a reminder to embrace that challenge rather than fear it. It also suggests that while you’re looking to other people for advice, don’t forget to look inward, too — to pay close attention to what your heart wants and what your head is telling you and what your intuition is calling you towards. It also, in simplest terms, tells you to do whatever the fuck you want because you are queen. So, take that as you will! And good luck. :D
