Career Shift - Being a Tarot Reader Is More Fun Than Being a Legal Writer (and it's all in the cards)

 Let's cut to the chase. After my career change from legal communications to being a Tarot reader (played out as intuitive career coaching) I am being treated with extreme respect by clients.

Such deference is in contrast to, as Insider articles (like this one) keep pounding, how badly all but senior partners typically are treated in the law-firm sector. (The exception had been Paul Weiss chairperson Brad Karp who had even provided mentoring.)  

But that - respect - is the tip of the transitional iceberg. The work involved in Tarot reading is fun. In a certain way. 

See, Tarot readers are the new therapists. We have a front-row seat in observing what is going on in the human heart and how the mind (mostly a faulty machine with lots of loose wiring) sputters. 

So much spills out. In this era when no one listens, there is a compulsive need to confide. 

What secrets I hear. Given how much of that there is, I wonder: Can the content be protected by privilege. We already know that there are situations in which content shared with public relations representatives cuts it as privileged. As this article on WestLaw explains, lawyers do loop those PR folks into a case. Privilege can be designated for client communications shared in the PR context. (As in all law, though, that depends.)

The hypothetical: A long-term Tarot client for career guidance contacts me at 7:00 AM, hysterical. She reveals she has sliced her husband's throat in his sleep. I encourage her to talk with lawyer XYZ. She does. Privilege might have to be applied before the lawyer and I work together on the defense. 

What is also fun is being saluted for unique insight. In my former line of work I had to embed - or struggle to - insight into the work product. That's a have-to. 

Now, the source of the insight comes from the dynamics of the individual and collective unconscious. That's a pop-up. No heavy lifting with research and competing in the increasingly glutted word game. 

Then there's the monetary. Money is always fun - both to earn and to spend. It is possible to bill at lawyers' rates. That entails developing a practice that serves those with "real money." Such a target market is more accessible since April 2021. That's when The New York Times published the feature championing the Tarot as a useful tool for self-awareness and introspection. 

How can you get into the fun? 

The first step is learning the Tarot. That starts with being your own Tarot reader. Here is my how-to on that. 

The next step is getting experience. You can do that through pro-bono work. Mysticism has caught fire, documents this article, so if you offer free Tarot readings, there will be myriad takers. I honed my skills providing complimentary sessions at the border of Mexico. There the occult is embraced. 

Entry-level paid work is available through those psychic online services. Key in "Psychic Services - Employment." 

When the confidence is there pitch your services at spiritual centers, metaphysical supply retailers, yoga studios, and even coffee shops. Demand is exploding. 

Yes, eventually you can build a brandname name enterprise for Tarot readings. Meanwhile, promote yourself through word-of-mouth, a website, blogging, podcasting, publishing a book, workshops, and more. 

The work is there. The money is there. And, unlike much of what goes down in so many other ways to make a good living, there is fun.

Your just-right professional fit. You can bypass the usual pain points. That includes Tarot readings, both spreads and one-card pulls. Complimentary consultation for coaching, job-search materials, and interviewing. Please contact janegenova374@gmail.com or text 203-468-8579.
