This tarot reading interprets four cards to outline a profound career transformation for the recipient, moving beyond a simple job change. The reading indicates that a necessary but painful realization (the Three of Swords) acts as the catalyst for a total reinvention and shedding of an old professional identity (the Death card). This foundational shift is intended to guide the individual toward a new path that offers emotional fulfillment and aligns with their heart's true calling (the Ace of Cups). Finally, the Hierophant suggests that this new, compassionate career will likely involve becoming a teacher, mentor, or guide within a structured or educational institution.
